Reading for Old Whippersnappers

Two funky old book covers and a men's magazine....showing us yet once more what our poor, pre-Internet forbears had to turn to for their kinky jollies.

For example, a lot of people had to satisfy their fascination with whips and bondage by reading pseudo-scientific books. You could tell yourself you were simply a student of human behavior instead of admitting that you were a perv starved for a little kinky stimulation.

Or you could read sensational novels whose covers were probably the most sensational part of the book.

And then there was the faithful standby -- the men's adventure magazine -- that offered tales of scintillatingly sordid worlds.
