Well, we never encountered such accidents spewing pornography (if it's still called that?)in my time, but you can see how far we've progressed. Of course, in those days what was considered unnatural is now no longer a certainty. Everything is expressed on a scale of one to ten today and if it's in the middle, it's up for grabs - users choice. Let it all hang out. Just think it was illegal by CA state law even 40 yrs ago to sell condoms except in a pharmacy and the pharmacist dispensed them privately as they were not on display as they are today. Kids under 18 could not obtain them at all. There was a wholesaler in Alabama that shipped "Silver Tex" rubbers at about 1/10th the cost of the regulated priced ones here in California. The first time fine for selling them in bars, taverns and wherever by hustlers was $1,000. Some sidewalk salesmen I remember bought these by the gross lots as they were packed and added much to their living selling these out in the street. Angler
