Im trying to figure out if this is a mandatory or at least common childhood experience.
For some reason you one day find a bag full of dirty magazines under some tree or rock in the forest
am I alone?
I did.
And blowing in the wind, caught in weeds and stuff in empty lots.
It got to the point where I used to walk through the scrub lots and wooded fields at the edge of town looking for hints of paper, and I would usually find porn magazines.
Hell yeah. That was the primary source in the pre-internet days.
You know, this isn’t the first thread on the subject…but no, I never found porn in the woods. The boys who lived in the apartment below me showed me some once, but that’s as close as I ever came to stumbling across a dirty magazine.
Here’s a previous thread on the topic and also a comic strip.
I did, though they were tame compared to what I found in my dad’s sock drawer. Also, late in its life the porno theater adjacent to the woods near my home would throw out what seemed like miles of film in their dumpster, mostly torn into one- or two-foot-long strips. We’d grab what we felt we could carry and run home to see what we’d gotten.
Looking at scratched-up, worn-out late-70s porn through a ViewMaster … good times.
My brother and his friends found one in the dugout of a little league field.
My mother found one in the mail, addressed to me. I was 9, i think. I didn’t find out about this until years later.
I once found a garbage bag full of magazines in a neighbor’s trash. I took it and left it in the woods, and someone stole it. Now I have an idea who it was.
It was great stuff too. Not mainstream stuff, but stuff like Cheri and “Big Black Titties and Asses”.
Not as a kid, but I’ve seen some as an adult!
People still live near woods?
I found mine at a construction site. We were looking for scrap wood for a home movie project and ended up with some copies of *Club *and Gent.
Oh, yes. Changed my life (they were all-male magazines, which caused me to have to admit to myself that I liked looking at that. In fact, I still have them 40 years later).
There was a thread on Reddit a few months ago. Apparently this is an extremely common thing.
Yep, in a park. And not the classy ones, neither.
Yes, or rather blowing on the common. There were black stars where the naughty bits were.
Yes, but they weren’t in the best of shape. We once found a six pack of cold beer in the woods, stashed near a local high school. We were young so gave it to the first high school kids we came across, who were might pleased to accept it. It didn’t occur to me at the time that someone must have tucked it there “for later” or that we might actually drink it. Probably just as well.
I once stumbled across a porn tree in the woods near my childhood home (though I was about 20 at the time). It wasn’t magazines, though, it was, for lack or a better word, porn “trading cards”. Hundreds of 'em, carefully stapled to one single tree trunk. It was really bizarre, like a pervy Blair Witch omen.
Never in the woods, but I did find some ads for porn tapes and magazines stuck in a library book in high school. Hardcore, too - full penetration, fellatio, etc.
The sand hills near the beach were prime porn hunting territory when we were in high school. We found heaps. It was mostly pretty hardcore (or seemed so at the time), full frontal, penetration. Levels of paper preservation varied, however.
My “woods porn” was in the trees between Bingham Junior High School’s athletic fields and the A&P. It was written porn in my case, although I did find some hard-core printed magazines tucked behind the water tank of the men’s room toilet of a gas station.
Hmm, not in the woods per se, but in a parking lot next to the railroad yard in Reading, PA; under the seat of a company truck when I later worked for a (different) railroad; in a couple of different hotel rooms (the most exotic being in Siena, Italy), and probably a few other locations I’m forgetting.
Found porn: art project!
