After visiting this website you will know one thing for certain: porn was around long before the Internet. Vintage pornography abounds on this site that features paintings, photographs and even some videos that will give viewers a pretty good idea of what porn was like long before it was streamed directly to computer screens all over the globe.
While history might want us to believe porn is a recent invention, after spending some time viewing this website you will realize nothing is further from the truth. I will admit that when I was younger I thought erotic art was strictly limited to 'French Postcards' and the artwork featured in the Karma Sutra... and you will find these types of artwork here... but there is also so much more.
To a certain extent viewing the content at the World Museum of Erotic Art may seem antiquated or pedestrian, but it also succeeds in being very appealing and arousing at times. Some of the exhibits are contemporary, featuring artists from the last 25 years; while others are more historical and feature art from Asia, Europe and America; including some artists (like Toulouse Lautrec) who have achieved legendary status. Ironically, much of the older material, which was classified as explicit when it was first introduced, can still be considered hardcore today. While we may want to believe our parents and their parents lived in simpler, more innocent times, a visit to this site will prove even our distant ancestors liked their porn on the cutting edge.
In addition to paintings, there is also a section for vintage photos, which span the decades and are presented in sepia, black and white, and color, however to view full sized versions of them requires a membership costing just under $25 per year. Paid members also get access to video clips from vintage adult entertainment but the site does share a few trailers for free, with content from the 1920s, 1950s and 1970s. There is also a section of erotic postcards which has a wide variety of categories and visitors can choose their favorites to send as an electronic postcard free of charge.
