Readers letters in vintage magazines/erotic letters
 

Much time and energy is devoted here to the pictures of the beautiful models who have graced the pages of our favourite magazines, does anyone know if such effort is put into the letter pages from the same magazines anywhere?
I used to get as much enjoyment out of reading about fellow readers exploits as I did looking at the wonderful women.
I'd love to be able to read some of them again.
Any guidance anyone?

I guess I could scan some letters pages from the Fiestas and such for you, though it'd take time and energy to put them through an OCR to make them a text file or similar. Will have a go later on today...

Here, as a "test of concept", is the "I Confess" from Fiesta Summer Special #11. I've made these scans extra size [but greyed them to save bandwidth] so you can put them through an OCR if you want to. [If you do, please post the results on here!]

Or would you [and everyone else for that matter] want the scans as normal? Feedback [and K >:D] appreciated.

Don't you think most of those were fake? "Dear Penthouse, I never believed the letters in your forum, until one afternoon when..." :D

Re: erotic letters
 

You're right, Mr B - the ones in Penthouse, Parade and other ones were definitely fake - the same style of writing every time. Even as fiction, though, they still have a certain aura to those who were originally there at the time...

Re: erotic letters
 

I completely agree ( Sorry, I should of mentioned that). It's was part of the whole experience of discovering that world.

Re: erotic letters
 

Thanks for the scan.

I can vouch for the letters in Fiesta - I sent one in and they published it virtually word for word.

At school one of the lads brought in some of his fathers copies of "Forum" which as I recall was virtually wall to wall letters. I borrowed some and was soon hooked on reliving peoples sex lives via the letters pages (I have a good imagination).

Some to an adolescent youth were educational and some were so far fetched as to be unbelieveable - even to us lads - but almost all were enjoyable.

I remember two 'I Confess' letters being set at weddings and were really good stories.

Anyone have them?

As I have noted elsewhere, it seems that written erotica from all of these magazines is neglected.

Some of the best letters were in Mayfair
