If you grew up in the 50s and 60s, then there's a good chance your father was an avid reader of men's pulp magazines. These incomparable publications always had dynamic art on the cover that would be deemed so politically incorrect today that feminists would march on the publisher's headquarters with torches and pitchforks. For the WWII generation, however, the mags provided a way of enjoying sexually-driven stories with a decidedly S&M flavor. Inevitably the covers featured incredible art of women being enslaved, tortured or abused by Nazis, Japanese troops or other vintage enemy forces. In the course of the accompanying story, the women always manage to get the upper hand and dispatch their tormentors, often wielding machine guns along side their cigar-chomping G.I. saviors. The other sexual angles to these issues included "warnings" that nymphomania was spreading among college girls or in that dreaded modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah, "suburbia". (The word itself once seemed synonymous with orgies and wife swapping.) Now there is a superb blog that pays homage to this bygone era of tasteless entertainment: www.menspulpmags.com The biggest advantage is that you no longer have to sneak into your old man's stash of magazines and read them under the covers. - Lee Pfeiffer
