In many cases, when one hears the phrase vintage gay porn, many different decades (or even centuries) can come to mind. To start, it should be said that traditionally, lesbian porn is not usually encompassed in the term vintage gay porn. Instead, it typically deals only with porn of the guy on guy variety. When you talk about vintage gay porn, you really have to go back to prehistory times. Greeks have depicted gay sexual acts in their art, and other cultures have embraced gay sex as well. As far as vintage gay porn on film goes, it has pretty much been around since the invention of the video camera. For example, in 1920 the first known gay porn was produced and released, called Le Menage Moderne Du Madame Butterfly. In the United States, the first hardcore gay movie that showed explicit homosexual intercourse was in 1929, with The Surprise of a Knight. Unfortunately, because of sodomy laws and a generally unsympathetic public, most vintage gay porn was forced into underground distribution channels.When the vintage gay porn was current, the videos were referred to as stag films and sold out of hotel rooms. Parties interested in purchasing the vintage gay porn would hear about the traveling salesman (and where he was staying), then go to his hotel room to get the goods. In the 1940s and 1950s, most vintage gay porn was not on video at all, but was seen in magazine. To get around the strict pornography laws in the United States, the magazines depicted masculine, muscular men either naked or wearing g strings. Vintage gay porn of this variety was marketed as special interest bodybuilding magazines. In 1944, vintage gay porn photographer Bob Mizer created the Athletic Model Guild (AMG). It is argued that the AMG was the first studio to commercially create and distribute vintage gay porn specifically to gay men. In 1951, he started publishing the Physique Pictorial and it almost instantly became the leading beefcake magazine in America. Guys looking to get their hands on some vintage gay porn would order the Physique Pictorial through the mail.When the 1960s hit, a cultural and sexual revolution began and people started fighting for their rights to produce, purchase and view vintage gay porn. A pornography case ended up going all the way through the justice system to the United States Supreme Court, who ruled that pictures of nude or near nude models was not obscene.
