“Awakening To The Immutable Laws Of Nature”

What’s going on with these naked castaways? They’re the stars of a strange little bit of pseudo-porn (probably very wholesome, just with lurid marketing) from more than a century ago, courtesy of the March 1917 issue of Metropolitan magazine:

Our naked couple are the hero and heroine of a story being distributed as a magazine subscription promotion, per this advertisement:

Two young people, a girl and a boy shipwrecked in infancy on a desert island, do not meet until they are twenty years old. Previous to having met, neither had ever seen a human being before. Naturally, their modes of living are extremely primitive and in a daring story Morgan Robertson tells of their awakening to the immutable laws of Nature. It’s an idyll of young love…

“But what if we took the story of Adam and Eve, made it all modern with castaways on a desert island, and sold it like it was a dirty story?”

The Erect Penis Conundrum

She’s so fresh and innocent, she’s got to pause and think when she’s confronted with an erect penis. “Oh me, oh my, whatever should I do now?”

She looks like a smart young lady, I’m sure she’ll puzzle it out!

The Innocent Freak

Clarisse Thorn has a new post about cheating, and her reactions to it. Worth your time, but made even better by the series of Post Secret postcards she uses to illustrate it. I liked Ms. Innocent Freak and her mad ransom-note collage skills:

Before The Fall

I got and read a copy of John Gilmore’s L.A. Despair: A Landscape of Crimes & Bad Times in the course of trying to learn more about the tragic story of actress Barbara Payton, one of whose characters is prominent in a post over at my other blog home. I was a little surprised when I found the first plate was one of porn actor John Holmes, in a scene of almost primal innocence. It’s a striking image — I’m sorry I don’t know the name of the actress.

After innocence, the fall. It’s well known that the lives of porn actors sometimes do not end well.

Also the lives of bus drivers, tax accountants, and housewives. Remember that.
