Vintage porn covers old fashion porn work including paintings, sculptures and photographs, that is intended to evoke porn arousal or that depicts scenes of love-making.
Some believe that vintage porn and eroticism are very close. For example, a voluptuous nude painting by Peter Paul Rubens could have been considered erotic or vintage porn when it was created for a private patron in the 17th century. Similarly in the United Kingdom and United States, D. H. Lawrence's sexually explicit novel Lady Chatterley's Lover was considered obscene and unfit for publication and circulation in many nations thirty years after it was completed in 1928, but may now be part of standard literary school texts in some areas.
In a different context, a sculpture of a phallus in Africa may be considered a traditional symbol of potency though not overtly either vintage porn or erotic.
Vintage porn is not erotic art, although both depict scenes of love-making and are intended to evoke erotic arousal, but vintage porn is by definition not fine art.
