We were a little confused by this editorial on Boinkology.com, which claims that vintage porn goes bad like moldy cheese. And the evidence? Old porn contains pubic hair and lots of foreplay. Er, right. We can see how such things might kill a porno's chances at the annual AVN awards these days, but we happen to think that a couple of decades can really improve your average adult film. Especially if, like us, you find yourself easily distracted by the general ambience of cheese that pervades all porn.

Don't get us wrong--'70s porn is still cheesy as hell, but somehow that cheese takes on a retro charm when it's a few decades old. Plus there's something kind of hot about porn stars whose bodies are neither plasticized nor fully lasered. (And don't even get us started on the trimmed labia.) Though we guess today's porn connoisseurs would find those body types "musty" and behind the times. But to us, it feels more like watching real sex.
We've always assumed that the more fake a porn star's boobs, the more likely she is to be faking her big O on camera. Boinkology's final piece of evidence is that it's a total buzz kill to be watching two people fuck on screen only to realize that by now they may be drawing a pension. You know, older than your parents. Like, ew. But isn't that what suspension of disbelief is all about?

All signs seem to point to the fact that Brad Pitt has the personality of a doorknob, but we manage to put that aside when we watch him on screen. And besides, in our opinion, there are much bigger buzz kills to worry about when watching porn, especially for women. Like, worrying whether the stars are underage or on drugs or catching an STD in front of our eyes or working through some childhood sexual abuse issues. If you're all familiar with these buzz kills, try renting your porn from Good Vibes--they do a great job of filtering for all that crap. Yay ethical porn!
