RetroMales Review

RetroMales focuses on classic porn from the '70s, '80s and '90s and gives you a look at hot 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 opened in 2016, and it's been growing steadily, 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 a dirty, back-alley blowjob to a romantic, first gay encounter. There are some hot outdoor sessions and group sex in a barn, an abusive prison guard who forces the convicts to suck his dick. 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 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 668 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 1080x608 in two qualities, plus a smaller version sized at 640x360. Streaming, mobile compatible videos are also available in two to three qualities. Keep in mind that many of these videos were all shot years 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. Each vid has a picture gallery under the player. These pics are average quality screencaps sized at 1280x720 or 1920x1080, and they help preview the action well. There are six to 12 pics per set.

There's one very important thing you'll need to know about downloads. If you buy a monthly membership, you can only stream the videos for the first 30 days; once it rolls over to a second month you'll be able to download any videos you want. However, if you buy a 90-day or one-year membership, downloads are available immediately.

Retro Males offers 94 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, but there are no slideshows.

When it comes to updates, there are a few things worth noting. First, on our last visit, each episode page showed the date the episode was added, but the dates have been removed, which means we can't tell exactly when or how regularly updates are added. The site is averaging just under six updates per month, down from our last visit when the site was adding about eight videos per month. The picture section hasn't grown since our last review.

Members get access to bonus sites in two areas; there are 1,516 bonus vids via the Sites dropdown and more in the BONUS dropdown. Sites on the sites dropdown include SDBoy featuring amateur 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. Of these sites, only Retro Males itself updates. There are the sites available in the BONUS area; Raw Hole offers Brazilian bareback sex and content from Dominic Pacifico's old membership site, while Pits and Pubes offers guys with furry armpits and untrimmed pubes, and both of these sites update. There's bareback site Real Men Fuck, Dirty Boy Video, Straight Boys Fucking, but none of these sites update. Last is Toby Ross' Big Dik Factory, where you can find more vintage porn.

Let's talk about issues. There's a pre-checked offer on the billing page that will sign you up for another membership unless you opt out by unchecking the offer. In addition to monthly members not getting downloads for their first month, there's a 40 GB daily download limit, and the site doesn't allow you to download more than five videos at a time. If you break the rules, your account will be temporarily frozen, and you'll need to contact them to reset password. 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 668 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 six updates per month. The men are often unshaven with hairy bodies, 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 classic porn, but it'll be especially fun for newcomers to the vintage genre as it offers a great selection.
