Lurid Adventure

I loved the old Lurid Men's Adventure Mag covers of the '50s and '60s, and wouldn't want my little cuties to miss all the fun! The weirdest thing about these old mags--to me, anyway--was their sheer availability. Up into the early 70s, only 1 convenience store (on the wrong side of the tracks) in our little hardshell Baptist burg sold PLAYBOY, and it was kept under the counter. But even back in the 50s these mags with their lingerie S/M fetish covers were right out there with FIELD AND STREAM and LADIES HOME JOURNAL on the magazine racks of every grocery store and drug store in town. Whatever, it WAS a gloriously carefree and wonderful pre-feminist and just generally Politically Incorrect time to be a kid!
