Grant Reed discovers just how much he loves performing in front of the camera and surprises us with a cum taste test!
With nostalgia leading us to reboots, reunions, or just rewatching some classic media for comfort, it’s no surprise that this behaviour also creeps into our porn viewing habits.
Even with the increased availability and enormous volume of 21st-century porn, in this article we take a look at why we might flick on older, VHS-quality gay porn to fuel our jack-off fantasies.
Why Do We Gravitate Towards 80s Porn Stars?
Different Body Types
While we love the gay porn stars of 2023 and more recent years, beauty standards, the male physique, and how we idolise the male form have changed.
When we click on 1980s porn, we see guys that possibly look a bit more like the guys we fantasied about when growing up – our friends’ dads – lots of body hair, not so many tattoos, and probably a retro gay moustache.
We’re not saying that one is better than the other, but variety is the spice of life, and it can be fun to mix things up a bit – particularly when it comes to fuelling our fap fantasies.
Vintage Photography versus 4K
While HD gay chat rooms and 1080p can definitely make us feel closer to the action, there’s something about the soft lighting, Miami tans and Hi8 film of vintage porn that dials up the sex appeal.
I’m a big fan of the content that everyone is generating for the fan-subscription channels, but sometimes it can seem a bit repetitive – it’s all harsh bathroom lighting and nondescript hotel rooms.
Watching vintage action invites you to invest in the fantasy – it’s the kind of flick you can imagine watching in an adult movie theatre, surrounded by horned-up guys. You can pretty much taste the testosterone.
Still, with the vintage quality, lower production budgets and often just two ordinary guy-next-door types getting off, vintage porn can provide a sensually-shot scene, totally-hot tan lines, and a “less is more” mentality lets you focus on the smut.
Also, these guys are performing on camera without the benefit of Viagra or Trimix – that kind of gives everything an extra element of authenticity.
Old Souls
For millennials and Gen-Zs who didn’t live through the trials and tribulations of the AIDS pandemic, vintage porn may offer a slightly romanticised perspective on the generations of gay men on whose shoulders we stand.
These classic films not only deliver great sex, but they’re also a fantastic showcase of the shag carpets, the wood panelling, and the styles and fashions that defined that era.
It’s Just a Preference
Sometimes a scene is just hot and provides a “je ne sais quoi” that makes it a favourite porno to return to – whether it’s the performers or the chemistry between them, there’s some classic vintage porn out there that just absolutely pushes our buttons.
Some standout vintage porn films that I regularly return to include:
Kansas City Trucking Co. – the Joe Gage classic that stars Richard Locke and Jack Wrangler.
Al Parker in pretty much anything. Some of his best include Inches, Turned On, and Games.
Chad Douglas in Below the Belt.
In Your Wildest Dreams starring Kevin Williams. The scene in which Chad Douglas fucks Kevin over some gym equipment is genius.
If it helps you get your rocks off, and it’s from the time of yester-year lean back, enjoy and don’t question too much about why it turns you on.
COCKY BOYS: Cody and Lane are more than friends with benefits or fuck buddies, and they’ve had sex more times than they can count. They are clearly still very hot for each other, as viewers will see in this steamy flip-fuck!

Oh boy, talk about an episode. The queens are tasked with recreating looks from previous balls in this past episode, with a final look sparkling with crystal realness. Plus, a lot of trotting from a fan-favorite and our favorite show reaches it’s 200th episode.
Xtra has you covered with weekly recaps, power rankings & analysis following the episodes. Catch up with the top 12 queens of Season 15, and see who was sent packing.
SEAN CODY: Sparks fly as Eddie and Deacon kiss, undress each other and start sucking one another’s nipples. These experienced guys are very well matched, and soon Deacon is bending the tall hunk over and easing into his tight hole!
FISTING CENTRAL: While Cain Marko is restrained to a St Andrew’s Cross, Jack Vidra grabs his flogger and whips Cain’s backside. Cain takes it like a champ and gets turned on by Jack’s beat down, so Jack turns Cain around and starts sucking on his hard cock while playing with Cain’s balls. Jack releases his sub from the cross and bends him over to eat his scruffy hole. After tasting Cain’s hole, Jack slides his raw cock in the eager stud and fucks him deep and bareback.
If his cock wasn’t enough, Jack works a series of increasing larger plugs and dildos into Cain’s hole, seeing just how much he can take. Now that Cain’s hole is stretched to the max, he stays bent over to receive Jack’s cock in his crack again. Cain takes a well-earned pounding from Jack, until Jack shoots a thick load that covers Cain’s spent hole.
