RetroMales Review

RetroMales focuses on classic gay porn from the '70s, '80s and '90s and gives you a look at hot gay porn stars from yesteryear. You'll find handsome and hung Al Parker, vintage porn icon Jack Wrangler, dark-haired and sexy Richard Locke, and cute, boyish Gavin Geoffrey. And don't forget Jon King - everyone was in love with this big-dicked stud. There's a nice variety of men here from slim to muscular, some quite handsome and others with regular guy looks. There are smooth men and hairy hunks, and you'll see lots of natural pubes and uncut dicks. And you can expect some of the performers will have not only big dicks, but also those sexy '70s porn mustaches. The site's been growing, so let's see what's been going on since our last visit.

There's lots of variety when it comes to the sex from dirty, back-alley blowjobs to romantic, first gay encounters. There are some hot outdoor sessions and group sex in a barn, an abusive prison guard who forces the convicts to suck his dick, and one of the latest releases has two workman fucking below the street where they're repairing pipes. The vintage videos tend to have more in the way of backstory and plot, so you can expect anything from locker room sex to a guy about to join the priesthood who decides to take three months off and falls into wild debauchery. A lot of the action here is pre-condom, so you can expect plenty of raw cocks thrusting into willing asses. And I find that the videos from the '70s, in particular, tend to be more experimental and creative, not surprising as gay porn was pretty much underground at the time, and directors like Steve Scott and Peter de Rome were willing to take risks.

RetroMales now offers 748 videos in MP4 format. Downloads are available in three sizes; the latest videos are 854x480, 1280x720 and 1920x1080 while the older ones are available in 1280x720 (two different qualities), plus a smaller version. Streaming, mobile compatible videos are also available in two to three qualities. Keep in mind that many of these videos were shot decades ago on film, and they look pretty good for vintage porn, but they're far from the crisp quality we see on modern vids. Likewise, most have pretty decent sound, although a couple have some issues, probably due to the age of the productions. 

Retro Males offers 100 picture sets in their own section. Some are production stills from a particular movie, but you'll also find copies of ads or flyers advertising the videos when they were new, which is neat. And most of the galleries feature a particular porn star including Rick Donovan, Bob Blount, and Jack Wrangler. Photo sizes are all over the map with the smallest at 236x317 and the largest at 1200x1803. Quality varies, but considering they were shot on film, I'd say they're actually pretty good. You can save the pictures individually or download whole sets in zip files, and you can navigate from pic to pic using the arrows, and there is now a slideshow feature. Also each video comes with a set of screencaps you can save individually.

When it comes to updates, it's hard to give specific details because the episodes aren't dated. However, the site has added 80 videos since our last visit 23 months ago, and that works out to nearly four videos per month, which is down from the six monthly updates we saw last time. 

Members get access to bonus sites in two areas. There are 2,767 bonus vids via the STUDIOS selection and more in the BONUS section. Under the STUDIOS section you'll find SDBoy featuring amateurs and military guys from San Diego, StraightMenXXX, SpunkU and SwinginBalls. There's also Backroom Fuckers, HarlemBoyz, GPMS Archive, and Boys From Prague, and there are just over two dozen videos from Badpuppy. Brazilian bareback site Raw Hole. Raw Hole and Retro Males are currently the only two network sites that update. There are five other sites in the BONUS area: Pits and Pubes offers guys with furry armpits and untrimmed pubes and it updates irregularly. There's Dirty Boy Video, Straight Boys Fucking, and bareback site Real Men Fuck; last is Toby Ross' Big Dik Factory, where you can find more vintage gay porn, but none of these update. 

Let's talk about issues. There's a pre-checked offer on the billing page, but it's easy to uncheck if you're not interested. The big change is download limits 30- and 90-day members get 10 downloads per month while yearly members can download up to 15 videos monthly. There is still a 40 GB daily download limit and the site doesn't allow more than five videos at a time, but given the new limits, neither may ever come into play. If you go over, your account will be temporarily frozen, and you'll need to contact them to reset your account. There are some ads on the pages and an upsell link on the navigation bar. And last, be aware that when joining, members automatically agree to receive commercial emails with no way to log out while joining.

RetroMales takes us on a journey through the golden age of gay porn. The site has grown to 748 videos, each a scene from a classic porn movie from the '70s though the '90s. The videos are available to download, stream, and watch on your mobiles, and the site adds about four updates per month. The men often have natural body hair, there are those retro haircuts and mustaches, and you can also expect some smooth college types. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy the men from gay porn's earlier days, and there are tons of non-retro extras. RetroMales is definitely on our recommended list for those into vintage gay porn, and it'll be especially fun for newcomers to the classic genre as it offers a great selection.
