The first bit of Erotica I ever reviewed for Cult Epics was "American
Nudes," a three disc compilation of erotica shorts that started in the
mid-twenties and the silent era and ended in the late nineties where the
production qualities were much better but the sex much more artificial.
Never remiss to explore all facets of erotica in its truest forms, Cult
Epics has compiled a two hour array of vintage lesbian erotica from the
1930's to the 1960's that's both fascinating in its delving of
photography and the lengths of innocence and horseplay among its female
cast, and rather arousing if you're in to the girl on girl fetish. As a
porn buff, an admitted fan of girl on girl, and someone always
fascinated with sexuality and fetish, "Vintage Lesbian Erotica" is a
tasteful and entertaining gathering of twenty three lesbian pornography
shorts (running three to five minutes each) that explains a lot about
different cultures and sensibilities. If you see the early shorts, you
can tell these films are being made in secret as the photography is
often dark and the locales very deserted, while the sixties are much
more comprised of social scenery and better lighting that makes it less
seedy and much more mainstream. The company allows its consumer to
contrast much of what occurs here. For example the earliest shorts are
steeped in lesbian erotica but are centered around horseplay and light
petting, not to mention masturbation.

The girls laugh, and wrestle and
manually stimulate one another, but when we get to the
sixties, there's much more penetration and lustful gazes
that obviously reflect the growing need from pornographers
for material that's much more intense and involving. Where
as the early part of the erotica is about dabbling in taboo
experiences, the latter portion is about indulging in this
orgasmic display of girl on girl sex and eroticism, that's
fascinating for anyone who appreciates the art of erotica in
any form. The gallery begins on an unusual note with a short
that's very grainy, black and white, and skips quite often,
but engages us in a typical scenario in which young naked
women are given some tobacco and engage in heavy petting and
groping for a good portion of the short. |

Much of
the early shorts revolve around breaking conservative ideals and
relinquishing all inhibitions, as is made apparent in one short in which
a young girl stimulates herself to be interrupted by an older woman in
binding clothing who drops her clothes at the drop of a hat to engage in
some exploration with the girl. And of course there are the classic
devices of a naughty maid, a sexy mistress, and the like, all of whom
show how long these fascinations have been included in the pornography
medium. Most of the films here possess zero penetration or rough sex,
but instead are more about keeping us interested with raunchy horseplay
and simulated missionary as one girl looks on fingering herself to an
orgasm. Take in to context the period in which these films were
released, and they're still rather volatile. This was a time where
people were being arrested for even purchasing such material, so in its
context "Vintage Lesbian Erotica" is a dazzling collection with
untouched short films that will spark considerable conversation among
those who appreciate such a format.
Cult
Epics releases another fine gallery of sharp and entertaining erotica
that's better suited for the porn buffs and historians interested in
studying the art of sensuality, and how much it's changed over the
decades in terms of the female entity and the growing acceptance of
lesbianism. There's some genuinely arousing material here to be had,
sure, but that's not the purpose. If you're looking for straight up
hardcore pornography, you'd be better off visiting the thousands of
online sites offering up such material, this one is for those who
appreciate sexuality beyond Vivid and Penthouse.
