Vintage Smut

When I was a poor college student, we did not have easy access to free porn like today. I couldn't afford the glossy magazines from adult book stores, and VCRs and videotapes were still pretty expensive.

I was resourceful, however, and visited a variety of used book stores around Los Angeles where you could buy old porn mags at something like three for a dollar. In the mid-eighties, few people wanted smut from the sixties and seventies, except for cash-strapped blokes like me.

I remember owning this magazine, which probably dates to the late seventies. Most print porn of that era was tame by today's standards; explicit penetration was not often seen because softcore far outnumbered hardcore, and while cocks came close to mouths, you rarely saw one stuffed all the way in. Much was left to the imagination, but if you had an overly vivid one, you easily filled in the blanks.
