How did we all meet before the internet

So I was thinking that I was swinging well before the internet took over. I met people in so many ways including clubs and others hosting parties. Who remembers life before the internet?

What used to be called "Contact Magazines" were prevalent - you'd send letters with polaroids to PO Box numbers - had a surprising amount of success once you could hack through the still existent crap. Also clubs like Submission / Skin Two / Torture Garden et al

I can remember in the 80s replying to an advert in a music magazine, said something like young gay male into pet shop boys seeks friends Coventry, I was like that’s me , so replied to the P.O. Box address months later I was in my room my dad shouts down , there’s a bloke outside asking for you , went downstairs and this older bloke was on the doorstep, he told me I had written to him , I shit myself as I wasn’t out and didn’t realise they gave out my address to him , I made out I didn’t understand what he was going on about and must be a mistake, he went away thankfully

When I was 15 my "mates" put an advert in a teen mag for "pen pals"....I had over 100 replies from girls all over the country. ... many of them clearly wanting much more than just a pen pal...including several rather naughty polaroids.....

Also remember going to phone box with my 10p's to avoid parents listening. Once in 6th gorm it was party central.....

"Free ads used tooo have a contact page"

I met quite a few guys through the local free ads paper. I used to put my own adverts in them.

There was many.

Xtasy mag that was based in Reading.

Barbra Kelly mag can't remember where that was from.

Stiletto Heel that was based just outside Leeds.

Rendezvous think that was London based.

Many more fun times.

i started working in the music industry around 84/85. it was like entering a parallel dimension. the culture was long hours of intense work followed by long hours of intense partying. the public had no idead. journalists were just as vulnerable to being outed so they tended to keep quiet mostly. i remember the first photoshoot we worked on with a rubber theme around 87/88 i think. that changed everything.

So true. We used mags like Silk Swingers and Experience and have to say the success rate was way better than now. Still friends with people we met that way too.

The Journal of Sex, it was a palaver but due to the effort involved only the genuine would persevere!

Me and my then girlfriend used contact mags because she wanted to try two cocks. It was a hell of a palaver having to use box numbers provided by the magazine (Rendezvous seemed to be the best with more genuine ads). It took us at least 6 months to set up the first meeting. We both enjoyed the threesome experience and did arrange a few more... But it was so much of a hassle that we dropped it. Things would have been a lot different if the Internet and sites like this existed then.
