I was the opposite of DaveCooper, I always looked younger than I was. Heck, I didn't have to shave more than once a week until I was 22! Well, I would have bought a hundred cases of shaving lather if only I could have looked 18 instead of 14. I was delayed in some hormones, but not others!
The first time I screwed up enough courage to buy one I was in Harvard Square at the Out-Of-Town News. I did it all wrong. I acted suspicious. I paced up and down the aisles twice. I grabbed some European fashion mag, then I grabbed copy of Panthouse. I inched up to the the counter trying to act coy with the fashion mag on top of the Panthouse.
The broad behind the counter was some kind of ballbusting feminist sporting a NOW* pin on her lapel. Just my luck.
She looked at me askance and crowed:
"How old are you?"
"Eighteen," I replied soberly.
"I'm going to need some positive identification," she chided. She most likely confused me with one of the skateboard kids who loitered in Harvard Square. I wore bleached punky hair and ratty Army/Navy store fatigues.
I placed my state-issued ID on the counter. She glanced up at me and back down at my photo and back. I had to bite my tongue to keep from asking her if she wanted to call my mother. She returned the card to me in sour defeat.
"Would you like a bag?"
I murmured yes, thankful the dreaded transaction was over.

That was the only time I got carded for porn at a newsstand. I got a few dirty looks. On the other hand, I got a few dirty looks just buying soda and chips! Some clerks are just dirty lookers, I guess.

I got carded at strip clubs and sex shops where they were more nervous. I just picked the wrong store and the wrong cashier for my first.

My friend had a job at a convenience store and he was an even bigger porno fan than I, so I used to pick up mags when he was working.

I never found the act of purchasing porn magazines a turn-on. I was too self-conscious. I actually preferred the dedicated porn shops because everybody was there for the same thing!

*National Organization of Women, Gloria Steinem's women's rights group. No, I don't have a problem with feminists. I'm all for the advancement of women in society. I have a problem with man-hating nutcrushers!
