Last month, I decided I wanted to collect vintage porn magazines.
The origin of the idea is the memory of being a Boy Scout when I was 16 and volunteering at a paper recycling plant to get an environmentalist badge. Some guy dropped off a giant box of magazines. Torso, Jock, Blueboy, Hot Male Review and Skinflicks. I imagine it was some sort of thrill for him to drop this stuff off with a kid in a Boy Scout uniform. Instead of taking them into the plant for sorting, I snuck them into my car and into my house. There were dozens of them. I enjoyed them very much until my mother looked in my closet a year or so later. Bad day all around.
Anyways, I've been thinking about looking for all of them again. I've bid on a few things on eBay, but things get very expensive very quickly. A few issues of Obsession went for over $100 not too long ago.
Anyone know any reputable places that sell good 80s beat off rags? By the time it was legal for me to buy them, they all seemed to get bought by the same company and became super generic. The 80s were a glossy heyday.
