Vintage Versus Retro

I haven't had time to fully read through all pages, but this is an incredibly in-depth discussion of vintage and retro.  I never considered those two terms to be different since they had been used interchangeably in the vernacular, but I can now see the distinction between pornographic versus artistic.  

At the same time, I wonder how much of this terminology is simply the writer's own interpretation or if it's commonly understood?

I have not had a chance to read the link yet but I had an in-depth conversation about this yesterday as it relates to clothing, costume history and jewelry... I suppose it can be pertinent here.

The condensed conversation distills down to...

Antique is over 100 years old... Vintage is from the 1960's and earlier. Retro is a derivative and/or a recreation of  an item or idea of an earlier era. Perhaps the best way to explain this is the film The Great Gatsby  (The one with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow)  Filmed in the early 70's the costumes were created to reflect the fashion of the 1920's.

I would give the summary as : Vintage = not totally nude, or innocently nude, with no depictions of anything sexual.
Retro = nude with sexual nature - hardons, buttholes etc.

So the section called "Vintage" on this site is not correct - it should be called Retro. And personally I find Retro boring as we have moving pictures now. However Vintage is sexy and homoerotic, and hard to find!
