The author, known only as Walter, even includes a surprisingly modern sentiment while describing his adventures in lusty prose. Sex that he had or will have, how he felt about it, and so on," she says. "I defy you to find a paragraph that does not in some way refer to or describe the author's sex life. "We have hundreds," she says, "but getting them from 8 and 16 mm to digital form has been a challenge."Īs for story, Nash is bringing the text of Victorian erotic masterpiece My Secret Life to RetroRaunch for folks who enjoy dirty stories as well as pictures. RetroRaunch is also set to launch movies "in a serious way" by the end of October. With Martha's Girls, the women are young and beautiful, available to you the same way Pam Anderson and Jenna Jameson are - as in, not at all, but you can attach yourself to that," says Nash. "Some guys like the way (vintage erotica) looks but can't stand the idea that the woman they're looking at is an old crone or dead. To keep things fresh, she recently acquired Martha's Girls (NSFW), a site that pays homage to old-school porn by using modern models to emulate Victorian erotica. "What an acknowledgement that they wish to entrust us with these very revealing photos of a woman they loved."ĭespite the site's unique offerings, Nash knows better than to assume 40,000 images are enough to keep subscribers interested, no matter how compelling the stories behind the photos. "They speak lovingly of their wives," says Nash. Widowers have sent Nash photographs they took of their wives 60 and 70 years ago. Others have stumbled across Uncle Joe's collection when helping him pack to move to a retirement community. People have sent in photos from stashes of amateur erotica found when going through parents' or grandparents' bedrooms after they die. As Nash says, "It's the ultimate amateur site." Many of the photos aren't of models at all. The caption contest at RetroRaunch rivals the New Yorker's for wit here's a favorite (NSFW). "People need to understand politically and socially that porn was not born yesterday, that it's fundamentally harmless, and that people have been looking at it forever," she says. Nash believes RetroRaunch serves an important function, beyond entertainment. "We're the bridge between what went before and what goes on today." "We're bringing the past into the present in the most modern way imaginable," says Nash. Gathering the images into an online exhibit is the logical result of an age-old connection between sex and technology. They pose nude or in skivvies, alone and in groups, as pinups and in hard-core activities that prove the internet generation didn't invent kink - our great-grandparents did. Some are skinny, some are fat, most are somewhere in between. These women have breasts, bellies and hips. It's interesting to contrast today's mainstream porn actresses, with their breast augmentations and Brazilian waxes, with the variety of natural bodies from earlier years. Others hail from more recent decades, up to 1979. Some of the images pre-date the Civil War the site also features drawings first published hundreds of years before that. The pictures illustrate the evolution of photography and of erotica over more than a hundred years.
