Thanks to everyone for their posts. All bring back a lot of memories. I too started buying mags when was young about 16, and was a regular customer for many years building up a large collection. I wanted to share that I also got into conversation with the dark haired milf in my regular newsagent. I used to wait until the shop was empty then browse the mags openly. She asked me which I preferred, and I told her I liked men only. Let's have a look then she said. We were there ten minutes or more looking through before I left to look at the mag and wank over what happened. I went back many times, always looking at the mags with her. It got to the point where I was taking my own hard core mags in to show her. My biggest single regret is that I never took her up on her offer to go round her house and show her some more. I was young and chickend out. Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

wow that is a regret! That is such a hot memory though!

Happy memories of days when the only porn we had to jerk off over was magazines. I must have spent a fortune on them - Penthouse, Mayfair, Escort, Men Only, Club International, then later harder ones like Whitehouse, Derriere etc which actually started showing erect penis shots and cocks in pussies.
I still prefer to look at the earlier ones with nice sexy women of the type I could never meet but back in my younger days I would jerk off over them as I lusted over their gorgeous breasts and perfectly rounded butts.
I was shy and always found it embarrassing buying those mags especially if it was a female shop assistant.
However it was also a thrill knowing that the latest copy was out and I would scan the top shelf for it, have a quick flick through the pages, sometimes seeing a really sexy girl in there and thinking lets get home as quick as possible to see more.
My cock would sometimes get aroused as I scanned the mags on the shelf and by the time I got home I would be dripping precum and ready to wank. If no-one was home I would rush upstairs and spread the mag out on the bed and drop my trousers and pants to enjoy a good stroking session - if there was a good centrefold it wouldn't take me long to be approaching orgasm and emptying my balls for the latest sexy girl of the month - back then I would sometimes shoot too far and find my cum had shot onto the bedsheets - so exciting!!
Still have lots of my mags and occasionally have a wank with them but the internet has so much more variety these days and I am sure I wouldn't be wanking as much without it.

I'm sure all serious masturbators of a "certain age" started off their masturbating careers with the assistance of "girlie" magazines back in the day. I started off with Mayfair in the 70's and progressed to Razzle, Fiesta and the occasional slightly more hardcore mags off the top shelf, if I could find them. But my favourite wanking mag by far was Escort. I actually bought that every month for about 10 years during the 80's and also had the thrill of having a letter published (about wanking of course!) in an issue once! I agree with a lot of comments on here about how it was always more exciting to buy a mag from a female sales assistant, knowing that they knew exactly what you were going to do over it as soon as you got home! In fact I always used to try and make sure I was served by a female whenever I bought a mag because it always enhanced my wanking enjoyment later. With so much free masturbation material on the net now, I rarely buy mags these days but I'd be interested to know if any guys still buy them regularly.

Quickly posting so I can find the thread, but just wanted to say how fucking hard this thread has got me, brought back so many sordid memories.

Had a quick rub looking at your ruined magazines Hornye.

So fucking consumed by porn lust I'm gonna boldly walk into the nearest grotty cornershop and buy a load of mags to cum over

Always heartening to see there are fellow old school porn mag fans out there. The thrill of the purchase still gets my pulse racing and my cock tingling. Nothing, though, beats the act of blasting those filthy pages with massive loads of cum. Love it so much, I dedicated a tumblr to my spunky hobby:

StickyPages

Absolutely superb blog mate!

Well, true to my word, I've just gone and bought a load of wank mags!

Was working late and had clocked a garage nearby ages ago that still has a burgeoning top shelf of willing slut filled filth.

Strode in there about half eight, with my cock raging tucked into my belt, walked right up to the magazine rack and just started helping myself like a possessed pervert

Barely scanning the covered titles I grabbed Mayfair, a double pack of Cheri, another double pack of High Society, and Hustler.

My only regrets are that the cashier was some poor african immigrant and not a woman. But more than that I really, REALLY wanted to get Men's World as that was by far my most used wank rag as a lad but they didn't have it.

But unexpectedly, the cheri and high society are PACKED full of top quality porno whores who I wank over regularly -

Adriana Chechik, Riley Reid, Kagney Linn Karter, Ash Hollywood... the list goes on.

So fucking hard about being able to have a real dirty nasty wank over Adriana, then when I can't take it anymore just empty my balls all over the cunt

Already flicked through and started to pick out which slut I'm gonna ruin. Head is swimming with depraved lust Haven't bout a wank rag in 10 yrs or so

Agree with you both, loved an old lady / granny at the till. Never bought a mag if a guy was there esp someone of my own age (when 16-20 ish).

SimonBates - tried to message you but your inbox is full

Buying the mag over the counter is the best bit. Gives me a thrill, and let's face it the mags are there to be sold. Can't beat walking into the shop with a raging hard-on. Even better if the assistant is female below pensionable age.

I used to visit a second hand book shop that had a read-n-return section at the back for adult mags. Loved it one day when the female assistant couldn't find the prices on what I'd bought, flicking her way through pages of penetration, blow jobs and cum shots, then find the price and say something like, "They can be difficult to find these prices". Nice wink from her when she took my money.

Another time another female assistant passing the time of day asked innocently what had I planned later that day? I replied with "The Wife is out, so I'll be enjoying myself with these later" Well she did ask.

I always preferred to buy any magazines of a woman too. Added a extra thrill because you knew she knew what you were buying them for.

I remember the week after I turned 13 my Dad came in my bedroom as he was leaving for work and told me I had to take the trash out, if I didn't I be grounded.

Shortly after he left I got up to get the trash and found, right on top, six brand new porn magazines. We never talked about sex so it would've been weird for him to give them to me so he just left them in the garbage knowing they would be put to good use.

July 1997 issues of Hustler, Playboy, Genesis, (the very first issue of) Perfect 10, Cheri, and Chic!

That is absolutely brilliant- I am tempted to go and do the same!

thanks for all the replies - have just come back to this thread and currently having a fucking good wank!
