Chris44g Storm Magazines

Speedy Book Services’ or S.B.S. As they were known by published a range of gentlemen‘s pocket magazines in the late 1960s‘s into the early seventies. The swinging sixties and into the 1970’s was a period of significant change in censorship and our perceived moral values, and this is reflected in what is shown and deemed acceptable to display in gentlemen‘s magazines and erotic photographs. From the birth of readily available Pin Up ‘adult’ magazines in the 1940’s right up to the 1970’s, just a glimpse of pubic hair was enough to land a magazine publisher in some quite serious legal trouble. The post war period a time of considerable change in society as a whole, the swinging sixties was in full swing with it‘s higher hemlines, new colourful fashions and the emergence of tights swept away the old petticoats, stockings and suspenders of the 1950’s. Wartime austerity was rejected and a new dawn had arrived. Censorship was being relaxed, this was inevitable due to publishers who constantly pushed away at the barriers that were deemed acceptable and by the mid 1970’s sexually explicit photo magazines rather than the old tease, nudist and art study styles could be found in newsagents and bookshops throughout the country, displaying both nipples and public hair, often with a glimpse of previously hidden labia too. Before the 1970’s the only nudity allowed as as classic artistic aids and poses, but now sexually suggestive photographs were emerging with ladies posing holding their breasts and opening their legs to reveal their feminine charms to an eager audience. SBS magazines were produced throughout this period of change and transition to the ‘permissive society’. They published some of the raunchiest material pushing but staying within the limitations of the law at that time. You can observe the relaxing censorship as more and more is gradually revealed over the years. Their artistic focus was on everyday run of the mill lingerie that a real working class girl would wear.
