Sullivan Nasties Gave Me Nightmares.

Foxbark · December 10th, 2010, 07:50 PM

Greetings.

To any one who grew up in the 1970s, wank-fodder (when one neededa wee dram of the hard stuff), inevitaby meant going down the newsagents and buying a Sullivan title such as 'Whitehouse' or 'Playbirds'.
What distinguished these mags were 'open fanny shots' (as they delicately called them), and limp (due to UK laws) dicks dangled (yes, dangled) strategically in front of female 'models'.
Anyhow the there was a horrible patina of 1970s dirt and sleaze permeating the mags.The women all seemed to be 'scrubbers' straight out of central casting.The men were even worse.One particular set still gives me nightmares from my youth.The featured stud was hideously ugly, aged about 50 dark and hairy with an odd foreign physigonimy (a primitive type of man, definitely not English and seldom seen in the streets), that for some reason just filled me with revulsion and horror even to this day.
Where did he find these scrubbers?, who were these scrubbers.I am still haunted.

Best we don't get into the specifics of who these models were I think. However, I don't have a high opinion of the David Sullivan business empire either. "Ethical" is not a word I would associate with him; on principle, I would advise any members to steer clear of special offers for mail-order pornography, sight-unseen. That used to be a speciality of his, as I recollect.

I doubt there's a British member over forty,who doesn't have a bad Sullivan experience in their past.

It's because of being ripped off so many times by Sullivan and his ilk that I feel absolutely no guilt now that I get ALL of my porn for free from the web nowadays.

**Mal Hombre** · December 10th, 2010, 09:31 PM

Same here, I expect a lot of members feel the same way.

They most likely come from the same place they come from now

Either people inside the adult industry(its a big industry when you think about all the other jobs besides porn)or others outside looking to make some extra cash

I personally dont think they've ever been all that fussy about who they use,.
Maybe once upon a time some would turn female models away but i doubt it happened as often as they would have us believe,especially in hardcore photos & obscure films.

Porn produced like a factory assembly line says quantity means quality will suffer

I must admit I pretty much boycotted everything but top shelf british porn mags in the 80s & 90s,so dire were my few porn film purchases via mail order in Australia

They looked much like the gonzo of today put together by amateurs posing as professionals

Cosey Fanni Tutti out of Throbbing Gristle used to model for Sullivan's mags; at least one set even had Genesis P Orridge in it.

Somehow, she has managed to get the copyright of the photos and shows them at her own exhibitions.

She has a thread on here: http://www.vintage-erotica-forum.com...ey+Fanni+Tutti

I don't think she's at all nightmarish; but the lighting and printing of those mags was.
