classic barebackClassic Bareback has 4 sections - the member home page, which is where the latest updates are shown by date, the photo section, movie archives and the bonus section. While there are only 5 classic videos in the movie archives, there are another 38 located in the bonus section, which isn't bonus content at all - just the rest of the movies. The pics in the photo section are all vidcaps, and they're not the best quality since they are vidcaps of older porn.

The videos themselves are offered in WMV and Flash format, both formats shown in an embedded player at 320x240. Keep in mind that these are older videos from the 70's and 80's and were taken from film and not digitally remastered, so don't expect the quality found in modern videos. Videos in the movie archives are offered in multiple clips, and vids in the bonus section are shown in a single video and are shorter, mostly 4 - 6 minutes each but some longer.

Classic Bareback offers a fair-sized collection of porn videos from yesteryear, complete with condom-free fucking and 70's hair. Since the videos are taken from film and not remastered, quality isn't all that it could be and the vids aren't downloadable. There have been no updates in the last month, and before that they weren't that regular, so it's hard to know if the site is still updating. Still, if you love classic porn videos from the 70's and 80's, Classic Bareback is worth a look.

Things we liked:

  • Good variety of classic porn topics
  • Videos are all bareback

Things we didn't like:

  • Site does update but updates are not regular
  • Vids not offered for download
  • Vids aren't remastered so the quality is not great

BEWARE: STAY AWAY FROM THIS DISGRACEFUL SITE!!!

I can't rate this site because a minus number is not possible. Without doubt the worst site of any kind on the internet. Terrible is not an adequate word for this out of focus, low grade images and films stolen from 1970s film makers. Usually CCbill will refund if you complain.

Unfortunate site! I've always been a huge fan of classic gay porn because these vids were made during a time when the actors were naturally into their element---no nomenclative categorization of twinks, jocks, musclemen, or other bullshit. Guys back then used to just get in front of the camera and fuck. And it was great!

This site does not offer the really good stuff from the classic era, and the videos are of poor quality. If you want the really good quality re-mastered pre-condom stuff, you're going to have to head for the vaults at studios like Falcon, Colt, and Catalina, and those studios are so strict when it comes to the distribution of their classic movies that the only way you're going to get them now is to pay full price for them on the studio websites. Even so, you'd do better to spend your $$$ buying the real stuff than to buy a membership on this site.
