Oh, yes, I remember the days.

Believe it or not, buying contraceptives was more fun. In the 1980s, public health concerns precluded any responsible pharmacist from refusing to sell condoms to minors. Plus, if you were buying condoms, it was very likely you were getting some. The clerks could give you dirty looks all they wanted, but they still had to sell you those rubbers!

Hmm not sure I should admit this but in the early days of the 1980's when I was about 15 I did get my first magazine, which I think was the rather sleazy looking ESCORT or it could have been FIESTA. I had this trick where I would collect several others like SHOOT or MATCH football magazines and/or a newspaper like The Sun(which was good back then) and when the chap wasn't looking(and it those days there was no mirror or cctv) I would spin back and grab the magazine and shove it into the paper. With luck he never checked. I had another trick whereby I showed him the front of the paper, told him the price and then the prices of the other two magazines and get away with it. I did this several times with Asian shopkeepers, especially those that didn't know me or who would remember me coming back weeks later. Mind you there was one that I knew well but the way to get round that was his magazine racks were over in one corner of the shop and I worked out where the mirror's blind spot was so again I could do it easily but I remember I used to get quite a few other magazines per month and the best ones were the Electric Blue series and M*yf*ir, P-House and Knave. Envariably I paid for those but some I did quickly stuff down my trousers or up one's jumper, doing my coat up quickly. I didn't always get away with it as one would fall out and I would pick it up, having not been spotted and have to pay for it, but I never got caught...shameful I know but back then I didn't have a lot of money to bandy about. Happy Days!

Well now, not quite as `bad` as Greenman, ie I did actually pay for my smut.
Although I did always end up buying the local newspaper as well, to hide said Escort/MenOnly etc within, on my speedy departure from shop, averting all eye contact on way!
For me in my testosterone fuelled youth, it was more thrilling if the shopkeeper was a lady of mature years. Somehow it just added to the fantasy aspect.

Also,as I recall(and it still seems so now) that the Asian owned shops always carried a much larger range of titles. One shop I remember had a top-shelf at least 30foot long ,crammed with allsorts of different/unknown porno mags.

I remember once when I was about 16 I went to a local newsagent (though it was actually more like the local pornographer as the top 3 shelfs were full of porn magazines) and rather than the regular owner his daughter was at the check out. She went bright red when I handed over the magazine, I must admit I got really turned on by her reaction. She was about 16, I like to think she got a little thrill too.

Greenman you are under arrest. Anything you say...

I remember buying a USA porno in a petrol station onetime. The woman on the counter was visibly annoyed

I felt like saying I'm buying goods from this place. Not robbing it. She never spoke and slapped my change down on the counter. Well I got my revenge, because said mag was a cracker

kept me busy all weekend

**billybunter** · July 20th, 2011, 06:58 PM

Has anyone bought more than one at once?

I did. I was 19/20 and very horny. In a petrol station (again) I scanned the top shelf. Three PRP mags caught my eyes. I thought about it and then thought bugger it. I scooped all three and paid for them and my fuel. The girl behind the counter put them in a plastic bag with a smile. And I drove like the clappers home. The rest, well you know

marc181uk · July 20th, 2011, 10:01 PM

I never really had a problem with it. as long as nobody I knew would see me. And I would get turned on if an attractive girl served me.

I lived in Germany for a while and loved it when Color Climax's 'Sex Bizarre' came out :-)

MayfairFan · July 20th, 2011, 11:51 PM

Massive turn on. Or at least it could be. I much prefered to get served by a woman.

It was always exciting going in and picking the time right to avoid the chance of meeting someone else in the shop who might know me, however remote that was, picking one and boldly going up to the counter... I did always pick shops where I wasn't known or a 'regular' - I cycled miles and miles, no wonder I was so fit! - and usually liked the thrill of knowing that the woman thought I was a bit of a perve, even if they were snotty about it - which they very rarely were. Mostly they just seemed uninterested, as if it was what all boys did. (Which of course it was!)

The only time I ever had a real confrontation was when I dared to flick through a second mag after looking at one, and the extremely humourless harridan behind the counter shouted "Put that back, you're not going to buy it now you've seen it all." I wasn't at all embarrassed, just annoyed. I decided to refrain from explaining in graphic detail why seeing it all wasn't the point... just told her I would get one elsewhere and left.

I actually think I got more disapproval for buying Airgun World than porn, to be honest. Probably justifiably.
