I agree. Hanging around outside. Waiting until the shop was empty, I'd get more and more excited - and nervous - about the thrill of going in to buy them. I'd scan the top shelf (this is the UK in the 70s/80s) and take a couple of mags down, flicking them open. Then the exciting/embarrassing bit - taking the mags to the sales counter with a raging hard on and the knowing look from the female sales assistant who (deliberately, I think) took an age to look for the price of each, ring them up, and laying them on the counter in full view while she took the money and opened the till and sorted the change. And me getting redder and redder as a queue behind formed and she going as slowly as possible to make me squirm as she fiddled with a brown paper bag and finally the relief as she handed them to me with sometimes the steely 'enjoy yourself' comment, heavy with all its implied meaning, you wanker, you loser...
And then the excitement of smuggling them indoors, cock bulging with anticipation. Carefully opening the brown wrapper later in bed, then opening up to see all those Escort lovelies in stockings and suspenders, all that hairy cunt. Then a long slow wank, edging and edging, building up the pleasure. Then, when you'd found the most exciting pic or the horniest reader's letter, the huge release of spunk, spurting onto chest, face and bedroom wall.
Many nights maybe weeks with the new magazines, masturbating to several climaxes until you were wanting new images, new stories - and having to go through it all again, the thrill building at the thought.
Mmmm, I particularly liked Mary Millington in Playbirds - she was one of the first in the UK who loved to spread her pussy for the camera. God only knows how many times she helped me cum :-)

Very similar to my experiences. Loved Mary Millington.
Escort had the more down to earth type of models, whereas Mayfair and Club offered classier wank targets.
Playbirds, Whitehouse, Playdames, Rustler, Raider spring to mind as regular purchases as they had a slightly harder tone.
My favoured newsagent had a good range which made the choosing which mag to buy more of a dilema. I think a key factor was the girl on the cover.

.

Reminds me of the German magazine Frivol that I used to jack off to when I lived there. Love the cover, her pretty spread pussy tells you that it's nice and raunchy inside. Do you still have a copy? What a great memory for you and your wife!

Used to luv the Scan mags available 2nd hand at the local dodgy mag seller. Moved onto the Central London places with a huge range of US (Hawk was one) and European stuff. Also specialist stuff like Janus.

But not bought one in ages now.

Yes! Once i was a confident porn buyer, it was such a turn on to buyu a magazine (or sex toy) when the counter was staffed with a cutie. i'd end up jerking off to her before the mag!

I once saw a businessman openly reading Hustler waiting for a train at the station one night. just seeing the covers as he held it up made me want one too. So I went and bought Club (hotter babes) and read it near him.

In my main porn mag buyng phase I was in college. and i'd be so damn nervous buying them and try and find new stores so I woulnd't be seen twice (obvi, seems stupid now). One time, I went near my apt and the usual guy behind the counter paged through them as he rang me up. I went back there every month then for my new mags! I do miss stroking over pics, mag in one hand, cock in the other

I started buying Playboys back in the late 60's when I was 18. I went to the airport gift shop on the way to my part time job to buy them. It was thrilling. I felt so nervous going to the counter and purchasing. I knew it would be hours until I could pull over in my old car and masturbate to the babes. But after work, on my way home, I would pull over into a secluded spot and pull my pants down and whack away.

It's been about 5 years since I last bought a porn mag. But same deal, pull over into a secluded spot and masturbate wildly before going home.

The last time I did this, I left my spunk soaked mag on a construction site for workers to discover. I checked back a few days later, and the mag was near the spot I left it, and low and behold, some man used it and left his fresh spunk covering a hot, nude babe with her shaved pussy all covered. So fucking hot to know I shared the mag with another masturbator. I took the mag, jizzed all over the previous perv's cumstain, then left the mag on top of a trash bin at a gas station for someone else to ejaculate on. So dirty, so nasty!

Very arousing thread! Never bought soft stuff from high street shops but eventually got brave enough to visit proper sex shops. The courage it took to dive through those coloured ribbon curtains, then trying not to catch anyone's eye due to embarrassment. If only I'd known then that fellow wankers enjoy talking about it! Some of those other guys in the Birmingham and London shops I visited are probably on here now, cocks in hand.
Anyone in UK remember Private National News? It allowed readers to display themselves as well as the girls. It ran a monthly Big Penis competition! Great mag.

Was lucky the local newsagent used to leave the unsold magazines out the front of the shop about 11pm so out the pub, check the pile for porno mags and happy days!!

My introduction to porn mags was my uncles stash of Penthouse. I loved them.

Then years later I got married. My wife would never allow a dirty magazine in our house. My second job required me to travel around in a company car Monday to Friday. I would spend Monday afternoons looking for adult bookstores to buy a magazine in. Sometimes if there was not one I would find a penthouse or hustler. I would spend all week jacking off to the magazines then throw it away Friday on my way home.

This is how I became interested in booths and gloryholes. When I would find a bookstore I would stop to buy a magazine. One day I see this college age guy come in buy tokens and go in the back. I did the same. I am thinking I was in heaven. It was noon on a Monday and I was in a booth jacking off to a porn screen. This was all pre internet so seeing a porn movie was difficult at best. It was awesome to jack off with a few dollars of tokens then buy the perviest book I could find to beat off to the rest of the week.

One day I am in a booth and jacking myself off when this hard cock pops through a gloryhole I had not noticed. I got my dick sucked that day and jacked him off through the hole. Hooked!

We do have a copy and she is ok with it perhaps I can scan the pixs she is in!

I'd love to see her!

Yes, please share!

been a long time but just recently picked up an older copy of a playboy mag with pamela anderson - my all time fave jerk off girl

Started off buying soft porn mags at the newsagents when I was out driving around for work Eventually managed to pluck up the courage to go into sex shops - and soon worked out where they were on my travels and bought hard porn mags there Started off with Pirate and then Private Mags and could not believe they showed explicit fucking pics Moved on to Color Climax, Sex, Anal and others and loved pulling over in the car somewhere quiet and wanking off into a tissue
Still love those mags and similar and have spent time downloading mag scans from the internet. Love the pics and always get me hard and cumming.
