Has anyone else begun their fascination with smutty fiction because of reading the old adult paperbacks of the 1960s and 1970s? Beeline was a big publisher in those days. Another publisher put out a series called Dr. Lamb's Library which purported to be clinical case histories, but were really fuckliscious short stories. There were more publishers.
Sites like literotica helped put put those guys out of business. And I have to say, literotica stories can match and exceed a lot of those paperbacks in terms of quality.
But the thrill was knowing that one was not alone in one's perverted fantasies. Other people wanted to fuck their mother or high school teacher or they wished the cheerleader next door was a out of control nymphomaniac or whatever.
A Beeline novel and a Playboy magazine. A great backup plan if you had no date on Friday night! And let's face it, guys. A whole lot cheaper!!
So who else corrupted their minds on those old adult paperbacks?
 
I was born in 1969, so I was not around when these novels came out. In fact, I was not aware of their existence, but now that I am, I am interested.
 
Yes I remember those old adult books.The plots were sophomoric and the writing plebeian,but the illustrations were very naughty for the time,. Remember the Tijuana Bibles?
 
I recall those nasty paperbacks that were written by anonymous, really nasty titles and lurid covers.

Most of them centered around rape and incest themes. You can find them on ebay.

I found one in an attic back when I was maybe 14 or so and I think it was from the seventies, it was called roped and raped and....I remember being appalled and hard at the same time.
 
Swingers and the rest

I don't recall rape as a particularly predominant theme, though there was a S&M subculture to be sure. In general, domination and non-consensual are not to my tastes.
There were titles the length and breadth of incest interests. Hottie high school teachers and college professors were prolific. The wife swapping and swinging themes were pervasive as a 1970s fashion. Any number of nymphomaniacs on the loose variations.
The industry was powered by professional writers looking for their first big break, but paying the bills by writing this stuff anonymously. Some of the author's pseudonymous names were amusing.
I think the industry went into decline when sex digests proliferated on the magazine racks, with their "forum letters" format. Those "one hander" digests were a poor substitute for the longer plots contained in the paperback novels.
 
Old pulp paperbacks and Penthouse Forum were the 1970's versions of internet literary smut.

I damn near got flunked out of my senior year of high school for using one about a horny babysitter for an oral book report in a required class. The teacher told me 20 years later that was the last time he assigned book reports without requiring his approval on the titles first. LOL
 
New pr0n is bad enough. Old pr0n was worse. Some folks like that.
 
paperbacks

I remember my first paperback, it was called Family Ties. One of the characters was an older sister nicknamed Piano Legs. As I also remember the brother seduced his Mother. I found it in my Uncle's bookcase. Great memories!!

The covers for those books were plain colors, no picture. Mostly safety green and yellow. The titles were understated but the name Anonymous was in bold typeface.

The ones I read were really disgusting. Golden showers in the bus station bathrooms, food fetish, and I hate to mention it, baby molestation. Some really sick shit. And none of them were ever banned. It was the late 60's early 70's and the books weren't even in an adult fiction section.

The book store where I bought them was B. Dalton Bookseller.

(The book with the baby in it, I tossed in the trash. What a sick fuck that Anonymous was)
 
A girl friend's father had a box of those

and those black and white nudie photo magazines. We used to read them to each other. I still think they're really sexy.
 
Adult Erotica Paperback Books

I recall reading a number of those books by
defunct publishers such as Greenleaf Classics,
Liverpool Library, Beeline Novels & Heatherpool
Press. In fact they served as an inspiration for
some of my first stories.

If anyone would like to take a trip back to
those days, here's a link to a website which
has preserved many of those pulp stories.
You can also see not all the covers weren't
just black and white drawings, but full color
art.

Caution: 18+ only

Thanks.
 
I just uncovered a small stash of representative works:

HUNG HENRY, by Ronald Harris (Greenleaf Classic, 1970) - photo-illustrated!
VIRGINITY: ITS CAUSES AND CURES, by Lydia Swann (Dominion, 1968) - with bibliography
SORORITY OF SUBMISSIVE GIRLS, by Carl Buono (Venus Library, 1972)
THE VOYEUR HUSBANDS, by Mitchell Elliott (Trans-European, 1976) - with drawings
THE KINGDOM OF FUKKIAN, by A. Philo Mann (Belmont, 1969- with glossary

This last includes a vocabulary of the Fukkian language.

EPLOCKK - a rigid conformer, an "uptight"
MORDIDOD - evil influences
KLONCH - type of Fukkian combat
TWISSLE - to engage in sexual relations
VIBRONS - vibrations, "vibes" - also Fukkian achievement level
BRODDLE - to be attuned, "turned on"
P.A.S - Phallic Antenna Sensitizer
ZLITCH - negative vibrons
ZLOOTCH - positive vibrons
RITE OF ASCENSION - Fukkian sexual ritual for bringing vibrons into loving coherence
ITKIND - master of love-making, attained by qualifying in "the Rite of Ascension"
MERSTER - active supporter of cash / progress / technology-oriented Establishment
KARDAB - a troublemaker
SLISH - to drop out, or a dropout - hippie style
DARFU - emollient protecting the sex organ when Klonching
FLOOGLE*BLOSSOM - the Fukkian love flower
FLORGASM - the Fukkian sustenance (product of copulation with the Floogle*Blossom)
FLOOGLEMITE - Fukkian pest - also pollinator of Floogle*Blossoms
HAKOLL - an environment
GLOKA - Fukkian time sequence, equivalent 5 years
RORRF - a form of sexual protest (a Rorffer: sexual protestor, also student activist)

We can see what was important to the author, subjects, and audience. Yow.
 
i remember my dad had a few pulp porn books hidden (not very well) in the back of his closet. The good old days.
 
I used to steal my older brother's books> He had a bunch of the Patchpokets and some others if i remember correctly. One really stuck in my memory. A boy went to the dentist and the hygienist noticed how nervous he was. His fear subsided after she accidentally brushed her breast against his arm. After that, nature took over and she seduced him. The affair continued out of office hours. The boy's dad, who was apparently a widower, found out the woman was corrupting his son and decided to teach her a lesson. The boy walks in on the scene and discovers anal sex. After that, the dad and woman marry and the threesomes, it becomes quite clear to the reader, will continue.
WOW!

I read many of those as a young man. Thanks for the link! They bring back some good memories, and still stimulate!;)

*mouth hanging open* OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW THESE EXISTED! And from what I read in this thread... Suffice it to say some authors would be tracked and promptly jailed. People could get away with mostly anything, huh. :0

Pedophila wasn't the social issue it is now, and in most places, age of consent was 16 (why do you think it was called sweet sixteen?).
Additionally, as it had no illustration other than the cover art & they could only be found via mail order or dirty little shops, it was under most people's radar.

This best know written erotica was Letters to Penthouse.

I found my first 'adult novel' on the shoulder of a road when I was riding my bicycle as a kid

Hmmm. I'll have to look for less-thematically-lurid books, then. *chuckles* but now I understand the motivation behind some porn scenes that fall under the 'Vintage' category. All those illustrations I Googled seem somehow... More primitive than their present day counterparts, and I'm not talking about the technology/style of illustration. Maybe it's the lack of body-consciousness, or the acceptance of body hair... *shrugs*

I well recall the green covers and pen and ink illustrations. They were generically called fuck books in the Vietnam army. I remember whiling away three days on a very dull road outpost reading a (title forgotten) classic of multiple adultery notable for the author's continual repetition of the phrase "her quivering quim."
 
there is an old trick that I learned as a young boy to find the best parts in those old novels...

If you just hold a book up and let it open up, it will invaluably open up to the dirty parts...
 
I have about 100 of them, the sex seems so trite now, but every once in a while. . .I think some of them may have pages that are stuck together, lol
