Hard core gay porn has been around for years and for some the old stuff is the best. I suppose porn has been filmed as long as film existed but it only began to be widely circulated in the 60′s, with crackly ‘dirty movies’ shown in dark basement cinemas (I went to one in Soho once – there was more sex going on amongst the audience than on screen!).
By the 80′s cheap VHS video cameras allowed an explosion of porn, in the U.S there were pioneers such as William Higgins at Catalina and Falcon in San Fransisco. They made some great films – all pre-condom, pre-AIDs of course (also pre-Viagra so the hard ons were sometimes hit and miss).
I once met William Higgins and he was full of old stories of the boys I used to wank over – some of them were fresh off the bus from the mid-West, some were Marines, some straight, some were bitches. He gave me a whole load of tips to get the best penetration angles (use mirrors). But the absolute best vintage porn in my opinion is the work of Cadinot and I’m so sorry that I never met him and now he’s dead.
Prowler TV now has exclusive access to most of his back catalogue and already there are 5 titles up there including this classic from the 80.s ‘Gamins de Paris’.
The thing about Cadinot films is that they are like proper films with stories, locations, costumes and plot. Gamins takes us to post-war Paris where boys did whateve to survive. We follow a young lad who leaves the country for life in the big city and soon he’s being porked for cash by butch hairy blokes. Cadinot mixes young – really young looking models with hairy lads, cute smooth arabs, big black guys in fact every type and all them are filthy as hell. They piss, fist, tie each other up, fuck and swallow.
Prowler will have more vintage titles soon from some of the old US studios and we’ll keep adding old and new Cadinot films every week.
