I spent a long time deciding which set to buy (based only on the top pic, which was the only one on view)...
Anyway, I bought another set back then:

This is all I have, but I would be happy to see more from that period!

Thanks for this grlilgirls. Hope you don't mind my starting a specific thread with it. Your very interesting post took me right back to the old London Soho days in the early 60s when about the only porn you could get from the seedy sex shops was these packs of photographs.

As you say, they were sold in packs of around 5, and the milder ones were clipped to sheets of pegboard on the walls. If your face fitted the guy behind the counter might offer you 'something stronger' showing actual penetration, rather than just girly poses, but these were a lot more expensive.

I wonder if anyone has a collection of these to share? I was still at school then (and just about old enough not to get thrown out of a sex shop) but what little pocket money I got didn't stretch to porn - though I did go halves on a pack of photos with a mate from school and we wanked ourselves silly over them for days!

Damn - I thought I had a few of these old photos to share, but they're not where I thought I put them (which is worrying in itself!).

I had a scruffy bedsit in London back in the 60s and when a mate moved into the room next door he lifted a rather filthy carpet to clean the room out and found some photos much like the ones above. The previous tenant must have put them there and forgotten to take them with him. Real hardcore porn (very unusual then) with a really pretty girl around 20, long blonde hair, being licked out by an old bloke who looked like an old-style stockbroker.

Funny the way these things stick in your mind for so long!
