Early Experiences - What turned you on?

[a9127]

From 1969. Fuck Starbucks, I'm going to this place.

(You do know which one, don't you? )

They are probably cringey and offensive by today's standards, but when I was a kid, I was always drawn to those episodes of Maury and Jerry Springer where they did the whole "man or woman" thing. I haven't thought about it in a while, but those were probably some of my first exposure to anything trans related.

Don’t know what made me go search for this today but I did. “Miracles Still Happen” is the true story of Juliane Koepcke a teen-age girl who survived a plane crash in the Amazon jungle, Christmas 1971. She is still alive today and is a Mammalogist.

It must have been on TCM. Late at night, alone in my room, going through the channels, the previews looked intriguing (A really cute blonde in a very short and torn dress wandering through a jungle all wet and sweaty? What boy could resist?) The actress who played her, Susan Penhaligon, was 24 or 25 at the time, so the pics from the movie should be OK to post.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure my Mom was asleep, but I locked the door to my room just in case. You get the idea… Since then I have seen Susan in other movies. She was very beautiful and a good actress.

(Tragically, about two or three years before I saw this movie, Detroit had one of the worst airline disasters in US history when an MD-82 crashed on takeoff. Ironically the only survivor was a young girl. For many years you could see the new section of I-94 where it had come down. I would make my first flight a few years later on the same runway. I was scared shitless then I thought about this movie and that night. My Mom said to my Dad: “Andy must like flying, look at how he’s smiling…” )

“Jungle Movies” are probably one of the places where guys experience scantily-clad beautiful women for the first time. Another movie I remember was “Sheena” starring Tanya Roberts.

“Sheena” was one of the first VHS rentals my mom got for me. I guess she thought it was all right since it was rated “PG” or something. There is a scene early in the movie where Tanya is topless taking a shower under a waterfall. She also is bound and almost thrown from a helicopter by bad guys. Never told my mom about that…

“Miracles Still Happen” is a good movie. I guess I should’ve felt guilty jacking off over a girl who just lost her family in a plane crash but when you are a kid you don’t stop to think about stuff like that. Anyway, I just thought Susan was really cute and sexy and well… you know. I watched the whole thing and was glad she was finally rescued. At the time I didn’t know it was based on a true story. Never have seen it since—she must have made a big impression on me that I would still remember her today. Sort of like your first girlfriend…

Out of curiosity I looked her up yesterday and discovered her son is older than me. And that is a true story about Detroit and my first plane ride. As we were headed down the runway, I thought about Susan (not the crash in the beginning of course) and it made me feel better. Since then I have flown more times than I care to remember. On business, with my college football team, and with my family on vacation.

"Pulp" magazines from the 1930's. Very risque. And these are just the ones I decided to post. There were far worse ones. Wonder how this stuff made it past the censors back then?

(I don't think it was considered "porn." You could probably buy it anywhere. You know guys beat off to this. Hell, I'm thinking about beating off to the blonde on the cover of the first one. By the way, excuse me for a sec... )

It only goes to show that people's tastes haven't changed that much!

You learn something new everyday. I was curious about the more “explicit” and “violent” covers that I did not post in particular and did some research. In Hollywood, there was something called the “Hays Code” that was followed from 1930 until the late 1960’s. It governed what could be shown (and said) in movies produced in the United States. I guess that’s why you don’t hear the word “motherfucker” or see nudity in 1940’s or 50’s movies.

There was a similar “Comics Code.” I’ve attached the “official” seal of approval below. I have seen this before and never really gave it any thought. It all makes sense now:

Controversy over comic books surfaced shortly after their debut in the 1930s. The first group to object to comics was educators, who saw comics as a bad influence on students’ reading abilities and literary tastes. They filled professional journals with suggestions on how to wean their pupils from superhero tales. Comic books also represented a threat to their authority – for the first time, children could select their own leisure reading material.

Church and civic groups added their members’ voices to protests. They objected to “immoral” content such as scantily clad women in jungle comics and the glorification of villains in crime comics. The Catholic Church’s National Office of Decent Literature added comics to the materials it evaluated.

In postwar America, a new focus on juvenile delinquency drew a third group into the debate over the effects of comics – mental health experts. Among them was Dr. Fredric Wertham, a noted New York City psychiatrist, who campaigned to ban the sales of comics to children. He argued that children imitated the actions of comic book characters and that the content desensitized children to violence.

Anyway, back to my “girlfriend” on the first cover. I couldn’t help noticing how her stockings were rolled down exposing her (very sexy) thighs and did anyone else notice how the anchor was “strategically” placed between her legs? Also she is tied tightly around the waist and her arms are tied over the top of the anchor so her boobs are thrust out. Coincidence? I think not.

Her “rescuer” appears to have only 3 fingers (where’s his pinky?) and the gun is not in line with his arm. Next shot he’s gonna miss and shoot her in the ass.

They pretty much don't do shows like that anymore but I used to enjoy them, especially Maury's "male or female"episodes where he'd had have ten sexy ladies on and the audience would guess their birth gender. Some of my favorite ladies made appearances on those shows. I imagine shows like that turned a lot of straight guys on to how amazing and sexy tgirls can be!
