Habit, started off before the internet was invented, used to send polaroids off to a PO box number and then wait for a reply, had some fun replies tho, and made some good friends along the way.... did anyone else have to by Loot and read the back pages??...lol
I used Loot and got a couple of meets. There was Rendezvous, which I used. And a couple more. They reminded me of Spick and Span even older pocket sized magazines. Bit of nostalgia anyone? Also there was a Reader's Wives thing for a while, which worked.
But actually the most productive were the early dating agencies. So long as you were happy with sifting through a remarkably similar batch of battery hens, and usually fairly conventional sex. But they occasionally coughed up a more spirited and adventurous woman, which produced a state of vigorous and racy sex. At least until you realised they were two sticks short of a bundle and likely to cause untold grief in the long run.
