I grew up pre-playboy, so the National Geographic and lingerie ads in Sears were about it. Really. According to report, condoms could be bought from a machine in a gas station 30 miles away. (At drugstores they were sold from behind the counter by someone who always knew your parents). It’s interesting that without safe sex lectures, guys and gals still really wanted to have sex without pregnancy, and they knew how too. Law and custom were the problem (the responsible people). As a result, teen pregnancy was higher in the idyllic 50’s than anytime since. That’s fallen into the memory hole. In my small high school (250 kids in 4 grades) every year one or a few girls would disappear. (I met one of them at my 25-year reunion — she married the guy and was doing fine).

That just begs for a poignant ending narrative involving a slurpee and a forgotten, now superfluous Wichsvorlage. Brrr.

At the risk of shutting down this exchange and being the last comment, your recollection about the ‘old lady of about 30′ made me think: I remember when I was about 15 or 16, one of my buddies and I suddenly realized that a mutual friend’s mom wasn’t an old lady at all. In fact, she was (then) younger than I am now. It was embarrassing for him ’cause she was really attractive and yet his mom at the same time, we were his friends and he was supposed to pissed but also not insult his mom while admitting we were right.

I think he’s a Psychologist now.

You know, in my neighborhood, I’m not sure it ever occured to us to try to buy one. Theft was considered the proper method of obtaining a skin mag, either from the 7-11 or from somebody’s perverted dad.

Those dads could take a lesson from the gun control lobby: “He hid his porn so well, it took his son eleven years to find it.”

I can remember one of the few times I tried to buy a skin mag was in a small french “librairie” (not a library but rather a combined book and magazine store, a library is a “bibliotheque”) and the owner’s wife and kid were helping him out in the otherwise empty store. He noticed me shiftily looking at the top shelf publications and sidling towards them real cool-like and bundled his wife and kid into the backroom before coming over and recommending several different titles.
