National Geographic would do. But **[Vampirella](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampirella)** comic magazines were my childhood porn of choice. I could get back issues by mail, and current issues at the drug store, no questions asked. [Cover gallery](http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/vampirella-magazine-cover-art-gallery/f67c0a95346205bc1544f67c0a95346205bc1544-283134264160?q=vampirella&FROM=LKVR5&GT1=LKVR5&FORM=LKVR12). In addition to the great covers, there were often well-drawn naked boobies inside.

Lingerie sections of my mother’s catalogues were my entry level sleep aid 🙂

It is, when you’re a horny kid back in the 50s, and that’s all you’ve got.
