I'm working on a compilation of vintage gapes plucked from the great pornography of the past (the 70s and 80s, for the most part, and a little bit from some lesser-known 90s videos), complete with annotated performer info and purchase links (where available). There is some surprisingly good stuff in these older films, and in a lot of ways they can feel somehow naughtier than today's fare, maybe because acts like gaping were so rare back then. When it did happen, it was almost always captured incidentally, although not 100% of the time - as you will see! Those older movies may be seen largely as a curiosity today, but they do have a lot to offer. Because of their age, though, they are not catalogued very well and can be quite difficult to navigate, so I thought it would be nice to provide a curated selection of the best anal gapes from the past and share some of that with all of you.
[Long-winded musings incoming...]
I've always had a fascination with older pornography because of its spontaneity and unique character. It may not have been as refined as the material we take for granted today, but there was a sense of genuine humanity and sexual curiosity that got lost somewhere along the way. Everything was still new back then, or at least it felt that way, and I think the porn of the 70s in particular reflected the public curiosity associated with the Sexual Revolution. It felt less manufactured than the stuff we have today. You really had a sense that the people behind it were exploring their sexuality. And sure, it was still ultimately a product, and there were aspects of the industry in those days which had even less soul than the modern production assembly line (for example, the heavy influence of the mafia and organized crime), but there's still something there which simply doesn't exist in 99% of today's porn.
The structure of those old films was less rigid and codified than modern pornography, and did not necessarily contain "scenes" as we understand them now. They were more like moments in time, captured on celluloid organically as they unfolded. The stories were trite and threadbare, the acting was seldom convincing, and the lighting and camera work did not come anywhere near the level of sophistication we take for granted today, but if you can see past those artifacts of age, there is still a perceptible difference in the chemistry between the performers, the trepidation about exposing their sexuality on camera, the spontaneity afforded by the lack of structure, and many other things. There's something to be learned from all of that; I am definitely not advocating for a return to the production style of the 70s, because the industry has matured and we've learned so much since then, but the general ethos of sexual curiosity and exploration can still be inspiring if you have the vision to see how it could be applied to the industry and production standards of the modern day. Some directors have found a way to do that. Rocco's older films do a great job of capturing that sense of genuine sexuality and spontaneity. They feel real and you can actually believe the emotions of the performers. Stagliano's Buttman series touched upon this as well, with the added twist of the "gonzo" style where Buttman himself became almost like a participant in the sex from his position behind the camera. (People forget that "gonzo" refers not simply to a style of camera operation, but more generally to a sense that the camera operator is an active participant in the action, where his presence is felt and acknowledged by the performers, his movements and framing choices dictate the flow of the sex, etc., almost like he's another performer, just one who uses the camera as a sexual instrument instead of his private parts.)
[End musings.]
Anyway, I've been compiling these movies for my own enjoyment for many years now, so I thought I'd give something back. I'm still putting it all together, but it's coming, so stay tuned. I expect that at least a couple of these vintage gapes will surprise you with how ahead of their time they were! This will be a curated collection, so we'll be jumping around in time as it serves my narrative and looking at the scenes which I feel are most interesting. It will certainly not aim to be a comprehensive guide. Still, I'm having a lot of fun putting it together, and hopefully you'll get something out of it.

I'm sold! Those vintage compilations sound awesome, but damn, your musings deserve circulation, too. Really good insight.

I absolutely agree. This just reminded me of some old Rocco film wherein Kelly Stafford is sucking cock double-time in a huddled group, but Rocco moves the camera away from the action for a moment to look at an old man leaning off to the side, just kind of disinterestedly watching, and Rocco says "Hey, how's it going?" very casually. The abrupt shift in tone -just a second ago he was breathily egging Kelly on- made me genuinely laugh out loud.Wow, this really gets to the heart of gonzo. I turned away from it for a long time, preferring as I did feature-length Alpha France films when I happened to watch porn in some attempt to maintain my cinephile cred in both Hollywood and The Other Hollywood, as Legs McNeil called it. But I've recently come to appreciate gonzo again. I think it had something to do with hearing Angela White talk about gonzo.
^^^^And I love the TrueAnal scenes where both women do anal and it's tough to choose between their gapes. I'd even take two less advanced gapers whose gapes were almost identical than two more advanced gapers where one was way ahead of the other.
For sure potential for her is huge! She made that nice black hole in her only second movie "Father's Day" which seems to already be her second anal movie after she took anal from Hookup hotshot!
hard to disagree my top 5 active anal gapers are 1st Gianna Dior 2nd Khloe Kapri 3rd Maddy May 4th Alexis Tae 5th Gia Derza top 5 retired 1st Logan Bella 2nd Monica B 3RD Alysa GAP 4TH Angelina Crow 5th Melissa Black
I'll admit that it is probably impossible for either of the two best gapers in the business to further improve, but even if both have reached maximum gaping capability (trademark pending!) this thread deserves a shot of them together.
This is from their scene at All Anal with Anna De Ville and Jane Wilde. This scene alone is worth getting a subscription. In the early part of the scene there is a lot of gaping and gape-play. If only I could be Mike Adriano for a day...
Yeah, there is no doubt about it, Jane Wilde's asshole is in a class by itself. Can you just imagine how Heavenly it would be to bury your tongue deep-DEEP inside her precious pink open gape?!! Just think how succulent sweet that would be. I would like to stick my tongue so far up her ass I could tell what flavor bubblegum she was chewing!!!
