Ever since the digital revolution of the late \u201890s, the world has been flooded with pornographic imagery, and while it\u2019s hard to argue with the old mantra that \u201csex sells\u201d, the sex that\u2019s being sold to us is largely homogenous \u2014 and bizarrely, more and more divorced from actual sexual experiences. Luckily, many are challenging this narrative. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/2017\/07\/26\/erika-lust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Queer and feminist adult filmmakers<\/a> are leading the charge towards a more inclusive and sexually varied future. Conversely, in his quest to break the chokehold of mainstream porn over our sexual imaginations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hardcor_decor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@hardcor_decor<\/a> is looking to the past.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfqP0DQFtqK\/?taken-by=hardcor_decor<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wide-angle images of Hardcor Decor present a world of erotica unknown to most of its followers (which include Vetements and Balenciaga stylist Lotta Volkova). The erotic world of Hardcor Decor is centred not on the act of sex itself, but the location. Rather than the contemporary clich\u00e9 setting of a high school locker room or a clinically anonymous apartment, Hardcor Decor highlights the lush, maximalist settings of \u201860s and \u201870s skin magazines. With the use of some selective cropping, @hardcor_decor manages to present the desirable design schemes and a sneak peak of the action, all without upsetting the powers that be at Instagram.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Be0fu84l8Cz\/?taken-by=hardcor_decor<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like our current sexual climate, \u201860s and \u201870s skin mags were produced in the midst of the sexual revolution. These images embrace that newfound sense of sexual freedom \u2014 and, dodgy haircuts aside, offer a more authentic glimpse into lived sexual experience than much of the hardcore porn of today. There\u2019s also an element of romance and nostalgia in these images. As @hardcor_decor told Sleek, \u201c\u201870s European porn, in particular, seemed to be almost an unintentional time-capsule snapshot of a bygone majestic era\u201d. While we can\u2019t say that the whole era casts a purely romantic shadow over our own, part of Hardcor Decor\u2019s appeal is undoubtedly an element of wistful nostalgia. It purifies the passage of time, skimming off the less palatable aspects of the epoch, leaving us with pure pleasure and titillation. <\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfHQmOIFaom\/?taken-by=hardcor_decor<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sense of nostalgia and sumptuous interior design are undoubtedly responsible for some of this pleasure, but the locus of Hardcor Decor\u2019s appeal is the sex that\u2019s happening just outside of the frame. Ultimately, it\u2019s the contrasts that appeal \u2014 the rift between what\u2019s shown and what\u2019s not, between the explicit and the kitsch, between the porn we see today and the sensuality which was lost in the passage of time.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Be9d1DnFhYI\/?taken-by=hardcor_decor<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The man behind Hardcor Decor \u2014 a 53-year-old graphic designer who wishes to remain anonymous \u2014 revealed that his exploration of vintage porn was inspired by a very modern phenomenon: sexting. \u201cThe genesis of Hardcor Decor came about close to 2 years ago when I was living in New York and beginning a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend in Sydney,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are both retro-obsessives, and would scour Tumblr retroporn for our mutual amusement and augmented sexting! The more \u201860s and \u201870s images I found, the more I was captivated by the amazing backgrounds.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Be4CEFPlVuk\/?taken-by=hardcor_decor<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardcor Decor is not alone in his retro obsession. The internet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/films\/news\/this-palm-springs-home-for-sale-hasnt-been-redecorated-since-1969-and-looks-like-a-scorsese-film-set-a6934401.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blew up in 2016 over a Hollywood mansion<\/a> that was left unchanged since the \u201860s; recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/2017\/10\/02\/london-fashion-week-report-politics-lfw-2017\/\">fashion collections have also looked back, drawing influence from the \u201860s and \u201870s,<\/a> and most recently, the \u201880s too. As Hardcor Decor reasons, \u201cPerhaps it&#8217;s an age thing \u2014 as a child of the \u201870s, I remember those wallpaper patterns, that furniture, so there&#8217;s an obvious affection. Call it a Proustian porn reverie.\u201d Whilst a large portion of his audience may not have been around in the \u201870s to soak up the settings in the flesh, we\u2019re glad to share in Proustian daydream.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bc3UzUcl07L\/?taken-by=hardcor_decor<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A particularly nice touch of Hardcor Decor is the #LPrecordsinretroporn tag. This flourish is the only clue about the man behind @hardcor_decor; he designs album artwork and posters, and is an obsessive vinyl collector. He tells us, \u201cit&#8217;s hilarious having a design presence out there running in tandem with @hardcor_decor, while the two worlds have little, or no idea of each other\u201d.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BSKbdI6j_Av\/?tagged=lprecordsinretroporn<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He concludes, \u2018it&#8217;s definitely a labour of love, and hopefully a little tribute to whoever those photographers and models were! So, no ambitions per se, although if Gucci needed an art director for a \u201860s\/\u201970s porn inspired shoot?!&#8230;\u201d Watch this space.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week Sleek Scrolls Hardcor Decor, the instagram that combine your aesthetic and erotic desires.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62372,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[2796,1288,10249,1398,3495,3068,8056,4070,9432,6805,1019,1021],"class_list":["post-62346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-1960s","tag-1970s","tag-60s","tag-70s","tag-erotica","tag-instagram","tag-instagram-censorship","tag-interiors","tag-kitsch","tag-porn","tag-retro","tag-vintage"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>This Instagram Celebrates the Lavish Decor of Vintage Porn Mags<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A self-proclaimed &quot;Proustian porn reverie&quot;, Instagram account Hardcor Decor slakes our thirst for both vintage interior design and vintage porn.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/hardcor-decor-instagram-vintage-porn\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"This Instagram Celebrates the Lavish Decor of Vintage Porn Mags\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A self-proclaimed &quot;Proustian porn reverie&quot;, Instagram account Hardcor Decor slakes our thirst for both vintage interior design and vintage porn.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/hardcor-decor-instagram-vintage-porn\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-02T13:52:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
