beginning aboutt 1968, there was an adult-oriented cartoon-and-joke book, in magazine format, titled Sex to Sexty, published in Fort Worth, Texas, by a company called SRI. The latest number of that magazine I ever got was #169, published around late 1983. Do any of the Teeming Millions (particularly those who live in or near Fort Worth) know why Sex to Sexty ceased publication? I sure don’t. ---

“Adult-orientated” is putting it mildly. I remember good old Sex-to-Sexty. Me and my high school buddies learned all we needed to know about sex from Sex-to-Sexty. The name itself is a play on six to sixty and, considering that the material was all 100% sexual humour I hesitate to speculate on the 6 to 60 reference. There were an awful lot of editions of Sex-to-Sexty and it was all the corniest dirtiest cartoons and jokes that could possibly be collected. My favourite was titled “The Illiterate Sex-to-Sexty” which was all sight gags with absolutely no literacy required. I remember these magazines were a little pricy and, if I were to speculate on its demise, I suspect they just went bankrupt and faded away. It just wasn’t worth the money. “The dirty mind has a perpetual feast”. ---

It was around when I hit puberty back in 1961, and I had an uncle who bought it regularly and hid it where I couldn’t find it. Or at least he thought so. ---

Oh man. Gosh,that takes me back! My parents used to buy that! My dad would send my mom into the store to get it!? I snuck a look at it,but didn’t “get” any of the jokes. ---

Well, _I’ve_ been trying to find it! Especially one with a girl sticking her tongue through her boyfriend’s ears (#36?) from about 1973. It may be “dirty and corny,” but those who have read “The Squeaking Bed!” in MPSIMS know I need all the titillation I can get! ---

Has anyone done a web search for this stuff? I’m really curious and in my tender age haven’t had the pleasure of ever seeing this wonderful product. ---

Don’t have any info on what happened to it (I do remember it, too)–but for you folks that have never heard of it, there are a few on Ebay, if you’re interested in checking them out. ---
