Yesterday...

A stash of ancient images. Well, they're from the late 1980s and early 1990s, anyway.


It was a kinder, gentler age, when men with normal-sized peepees could be porn stars, while images were blurry and difficult to make out.


... where the dominant style of porno photo was still derived from Classical Art traditions of ancient Greek warriors engaged in gymnastics or bizarre stretching postures...


Although, even at this early date, louche representations of callow youth lounging seductively about were also beginning to creep in...


But there was still something rather innocent and lovely about the whole business.


More Health & Efficiency than Fisting & Fucking Today.

Although, since magazines also seem to be disappearing, doubtless that comment is also evidence of prehistoric tendencies on my part, Damnit.

I have to confess to a long-standing fondness for piano players (as opposed to player-pianos) and your specimen, dear LeDuc, is particularly finely tuned.

The era also has the advantage of being pre-manscaping. Than which there are few crimes greater in nature.

One day a fine collection of old friends like Vulcan and Euroboy will no doubt fetch a small fortune at auction! They must have been among the first casulaties of the internet age.

Le Duc - I hope the reason we haven't seen any postings since Tuesday is because Mr Smiley-Face Man showed up at your door and you two haven't come up for air yet!

Please come back.

Really? You want me back? I was hoping to slip away unnoticed, ahead of schedule. Am currently besotted with the other project I've started so this blog is beginning to feel like a major distraction. But I've got a couple more posts in me yet, I guess.

More later today, probably.
