The first nudesBack in 1962 my best friend and I found several moldy Playboy in the deep woods of the Blue Hills. Up to then my only knowledge of the female anatomy came from examinations of my sister’s Barbie dolls, but I understand the Playboy Messiah’s decision to drop nudity.
The Internet is awash with sex of all genres and it costs nothing.

Where nothing is real, not even a teenage boy’s fantasy.
