  1. The other day on ErosBlog I posted a bit of lurid burnoosed-men-on-camels white-slaving nonsense from a 1960 pulp magazine, but that's not what this toot is about.

    It reminded me that, back in 2018 and 2019, I wrote about how posting softcore Orientalist harem porn while people were protesting putting a rapist on the Supreme Court just didn't set right:

  2. @qblueheart The association isn't actually all that far-fetched, truly; porn at its best is liberatory with respect to human #sexuality, and why did we burn #witches again? At least in part for, in the #lurid popular imagination anyway, doing sexually lawless things around bonfires under the moon, and thwarting patriarchal strictures in the process. At a minimum it's safe to say that #porn and #magic have the same enemies, and that's a connection with real substance to it.

  4. Remember, every time you see a lurid story about sex or porn, that tabloids are real and that otherwise-responsible press outlets rarely can resist giving sex/porn stories the tabloid treatment:

  5. CW: 1970s lurid claims about lesbianism

    I return, mood restored by old-fashioned chemicals, just long enough to share this hopeful headline from a 1971 issue of True Men magazine: erosblog.com/2023/07/21/lesbia #Lesbian #Lesbianism #Pulp #Headline #MensMagazine #PopSexology #FrigidWomen #PulpMagazine #Lurid
