What magazines were under your mattress as a teenager?

[HEyHEY]

I had a couple trans-worlds skate/snowboarding, snowboard Canada, And...some other stuff :-)

1. National Lampoon.

Subversive. Sick. Funny.

[ironflange]

8. I still have most of mine!

Really beat up, though, not worth anything, except for the High School Yearbook. Great fun to read them occasionally.

As for my mattress, it was the usual Playboy/Penthouse stuff. I found out recently that my mom knew they were there, but was cool about it.

2. Journal of the American Rocket Society.

The really good stuff had not yet been invented.

180

3. Hmmm

A hustler(I hate that magazine, btw, it just had one particular very pretty girl in it), 900,000 back issues(okay, only about 140) of Nintendo Power, and some Club magazines(yeah, that's porn. I actually like that one)

4. Any women here between the ages ages of say 28 and 34 remember Sassy?

It was published only about 3 years and it was sort of the alternative chick's version to Seventeen in the late 80's. Kind of sexy, but more self-empowered and much less commercial. That was my favorite. I remember getting Spin on occasion also. And my diary was always kept way under my mattress as to not get me into any trouble.

5. Valley of the Dolls.....I read it staying up for 2 days as

it was a very long book. In the summers of my youth I would purchase 1/2 dozen lemons and eat the ENTIRE lemon, including the skins while reading books that would sizzle some people's hair!

My father had a collection of very good paperbacks that I read cover to cover overnight while they slept..cause I was on summer vacation and could sleep all the next day.

Talk about an education...ever hear of 'bennie (sp?) boys'? In the Middle East? I had not before and have never since...but they (did or do) exist!!

6. When I was a teen ager, a few hundred years ago...

(OK, it was actually in the 1950's) Most magaizines were carved in stone tablets or rolled up on parchment scrolls.

Seriously: Popular Mechanics, every SciFi mag in the world (Analog, F&SF, Amazing, Astounding, etc.) and one treasured copy of Playboy.

Lots of porn, obviously.. all the non-porn mags like "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" and "Hockey Digest" were up on the bookshelf.

12. A few..

'Get Kinky' - a Fetish / BDSM magazine. Mostly Female Dominant content.

'Skin Two' - a Fetish fashion magazine, also more Female Dominant type content

'Penthouse Variations' - a Penthouse publication focusing on, again, Fetish type content. Gee, I'm beginning to sense a pattern here :)

17. Playboy and Penthouse!

I was about 10 when a neighbor got married and was forced to dispose of his collection. My brother and I saw them at the roadside in boxes waiting for the trashman. Got the wagon out and toted them home. We stacked them in our shared bedroom in plain site. About a week later, dear old Dad said "you know boys, if there would be something in your room that would embaress your mother, I think you should do something about it." Out to the road the magazines went.

[HEyHEY]

18. haha

Every kid seems to find a sogy half torn up nudie book somewhere eh?

[Wcross]

22. This was the mother lode of porn- at least 80 mags! n/t

[NaMeaHou]

19. Sears-Roebuck

Granny had an outhouse.

[Clete]

20. Mad Magazine.

I went to boarding school so I had to hide it between the mattress and springs. The nuns didn't approve. I wonder what hissy fit they would have had if the National Lampoon had been available then?

[Spider Jerusalem]

21. Smithsonian, Scientific American, Omni, National Geographic (n/t)

[mitchum]

23. None. My parents were real cool as long as I kept my copies...

of "Penthouse", "Oui", "National Lampoon", and "High Times" in my room (and out of the den)

[JVS]

24. Swank, Club, Barely Legal

Didn't keep it under the matress though, The closet of my room adjoined the stairs to the attic. I hid it under a loose step.

[alfredo]

26. I didn't have a mattress you insensitive clod!!

Really, I kept Mad magazine, and various Hot Rod magazines under my bed.

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Model Railroader, MAD, Computer magazines of various types

That was about it when I was a kid, I guess. Had a subscription to OMNI and some photo magazines when I was in college.

I think the only time I've ever bought a porn mag was the Playboy with the woman from Wheel of Fortune, can't think of her name now, and that was when I was in college. Bought it at the college bookstore, too! HA HA!
