APA-69 Classic: For Ladies, Gentleman, and Others of Taste Issue 93: Even though *APA Eros* is gone, we still have *APA-69 Classic* to explore our most private activies -- sex. Fimilar names on the membership roster include Richard Freeman and Arthur Hlavaty but everyone contributed some fine material.
In addition to all the mailing comments, we get some erotic fiction from Bernadette bosky and Arthur Rapp. They included a very strange application from something called the Christian Dating Club that seems to have everyone on earth including "non-evangelical-denomination unbelivers, those who have used contraceptives, divorced, semi-seducers, smokers, hadicapped, skin diseases, unemployed, male gynecologists, male dentists, the overweight."

Areola: A Journal of Erotica Vol 3 Issue 2 August '95: A simple but enjoyable collection of short erotic stories. It's nice to find hot erotic stories in a zine -- not a art mag, not a slick sex rag, just a simple zine. Best of all, it's priced like a zine so you can afford to enjoy it.
Miranda Wilcox wrote about a sexual encounter on train; James Collier spun a tale of an illicit affiar; and Tom Ash told us about visiting a whorehouse in Seoul.

This issue seems particularly useful. I think it's due to the large number of reader-submitted articles, covering a broad spectrum of experiences. Lots of tips for traveling trough India and an intriging interview with an American expat about sex trade abuses in Cambodia.

The Bag Man Times Issue 2 July '95: One of the rudest collection of comics I've ever seen. Eric creates collages with photos clipped out of porno mags and also draws gross (but appealing) comics.
Highlights include the illustration of what the phone sex babe *really* looks like, behind the scenes in a resturant's kitchen, and fishing with the rednecks. I like how he personalizes each copy by writing in their name in select captions.
There's also action shots pasted over with Bill and Hillary's faces, drawings of guys with droopy dicks, and strange newsclips.

Instead of pages and pages of beaver shots we get informative articles exploring safe ways to have fun with exotic toys and complex fantasies.

Cuir Vol 1 Issue 8 June '95: While people may go to Nevada for legal prostitution, San Francisco is where *it all* happens. There are more sexuality publications based here than anywhere else on Earth. I wouldn't say that it's specifically a reflection of the queer community, it's just that people here really know how to enjoy life and sex. The publication reflects that spirit as it's probably the world's only publication for the pansexual S/M community that's distrubuted free every month.

Danzine: A Free & Exciting Monthly for Ladies in the Biz! Issue 3 September '95: At first I thought this was a zine about the life of someone named Dan. But I quickly realized it's dedicated to adult entertainers and live "dan-zers."
If you think the world of sex is weird, check out Teresa's legal research of what constitutes prostitution. A friend of hers was busted for doing a girl show in a booth and the vice cops said that agreeing to sex for money is the same whether it's with a partner or a customer. How nice of the cop to beat himself off before the arrest.
A very supportive resource for women in the industry.

The Genuine Article: A Quarterly Newsletter in Praise of Natural Womanly Beauty Vol 1 Issue 3: Frank Wallis' zine devoted to the apprectiation of natural breasts without any plastic surgery augmentation.
Frank *exposed* the truth behind topless sunbathing on France's beaches. While going topless at French beaches is socially acceptable, only 16% of the women surveyed says they do it all the time. Another surprising statistic is that 76% said they consider their breasts beautiful. American responces would probably be half that figure. I also enjoyed Richard Hollender's informative recomendations for photographers and editors who work with nude models. He used to be the managing editor at *High Society* so he knows what he's talking about.

Genuine Article: A Quarterly Newsletter in Praise of Natural Womanly Beauty Issue 2: Frank Wallis, publisher of *The Anti-Hollywood Reporter*, brings us this newsletter that sings the praises of the female body.
A lot of sexually oriented zines (to say nothing of mainstream magazines) tend to express their attraction to the feminine form with a poorly repressed drool. You can almost picture these guys slobbering on the keyboard as they adjust their trenchcoats. *Genuine Article*, however, presents its ideas intelligently and with style. The letters section is devoted to the discussion of breast augmentation, and there's even a letter from the editor of *D-Cup* magazine. There's the second part of "The Truth About Breast Implants," and an interview with Danielle Ashe, a naturally buxom nude model.

The reader is treated to page after page of hairy armpits and legs, to say nothing of pubic hair that seems to spread like a rash.

Help Me: Outlaw Biker Confidential Issue 1: In responce to complaints about *Dora Zine* being an overprice picture book with no stories, DVH created this new publication that features five stories, plenty of pictures, and a lower price.
Just like *Dora Zine*, this is a very graphic and brutal publicaion, almost more so, with its deatailed descriptions of rape. If you are offended by material such as this (like *Answer Me* #4) I suggest that you just avoid it. Others who are interested in graphic descriptions and photographs of brutal sexuality are likely to find just what they're looking for. The stories are most certainly fiction, though with so many photographs, and limited reproduction techniques, I'm not sure that *all* of these photos are staged. Other then that, I have no further judgements.

JJ(O): Jack and Jill (Off) Issue 2: GUEST REVIEWED BY JENN GOGGLEBOX: To be quite honest with you, I haven't read very many sex zines. The closest thing to sex in most zines I see is teenage girls writing about torturous crushes they have on mean boys who care about their skateboards more than their dicks.
And they frame the entire rant with cute hearts and stars and quotes from Olympia bands. So you can imagine what a tingly little jolt Jack and Jill (Off) gave me, with all its naked pics and stories of licking, fucking and sucking. Actually, the sex stories didn't seem much different than the regular fare in Penhouse's letters section, but what's really great about this zine are the masturbation stories, with such profound gems of advice as this: "Try lubing up tour dick and sliding it between the toilet bowl and seat. The smooth porcelain feels great, you can vary the pressure on your cock and clean up in amazingly simple!" What ingenuity! The one thing about the masturbation stories that kinda confused me was how perfectly perky they all were. Where are the tales of old men who just got released from the mental hospital last week, smell like fermented piss and wear nothing but Darth Vadar underoos, prowling around the subway cars and stopping to jack off in your face while hollering "You want mashed potatos?! I GOT YO' MASHED POTATOS!!" Actually, I do have a sorta interesting jerk-off story and since I'm not officially doing a zine anymore, I'll write it here. A couple weeks ago I was hitchhiking by myself from Mexico to San Francisco and this blond surfer boy picked me up around twilight. We somehow started talking about sex and he asked me if I would watch him jerk off. He said it so innocently, as if he was asking me to help with his paper route. I said okay, and we parked in a field and while the sun sunk down behind the ocean I watched him, um, wax his board. When he was done he drove me a couple more towns, we shook hands (very wet hands, albeit) and said goodbye. Okay, so to get back to the zine review, Jack and Jill (Off) is a good sex zine. A little too male-oriented, but if you're male then I guess you won't mind that.

Libido: The Journal of Sex and Sensibility Vol 7 Issue 3 Summer '95: A sophisticated journal about sexuality and eroticism. While many porn mags proclaim to have "adult" content, this magazine is truly for adults.
They came across a copy of the *American Encyclopedia of Sex*, published back in 1935. Finding it truly bizarre, they reprinted some choice excerpts for historical and humor sake. I also enjoyed Sophie duChien's story of reciving an angry letter from an anti-sex female lawyer that led to a meeting of the minds (and bodies).
The photos are both artistic and erotic and wouldn't be out of place hanging in a museum (well, a progressive museum).

ManZine Vol 2 Issue 4: I like how Frank Wallis ballances the erotic photos with engaging discussions about sexuality.
Frank goes for the traditional zine style here by assempling a number of collages featuring waif-like models with bold, slogal-like texts pasted on top. While I've seen things like this often in zine (most notably Riot Grrrl zines), Frank's is certainly a more mature interpretation. We also get resources for collectors of vintage pin-up art and suggestions for improving Demi Moore's *Striptease* (i.e. make it brutally realistic).

ManZine Vol 2 Issue 3: I like how Frank Wallis ballances the erotic photos with engaging discussions about sexuality.
This is by far his best issue yet. It features a wide range of articles covering sexuality from a multitude of perspectives. I loved everything in here but my favorate piece is the collection of short interviews with publishers of sex zines. Frank got the publishers of *Black Sheets, Paramour, Libido, Bust,* and *BNI* to all talk about why they do their zines. Frank's got a knack for getting people to open up via the Net. I enjoyed the articles where people responded to his inquries into women's feelings about condoms, if Black men really don't like to eat pussy, and unique place people have had sex. Great contributions from Richard Hollander about what really goes on at *Hight Society*, Lady Green exploring S/M in film, and a collection of photographs from Todd Friedman. To top it all off, there's a three page resource guide to Traci Lords' many films.

NAMBLA Bulletin: Voice of the North American Man/Boy Love Association Vol 16 Issue 2 August '95: A publication of the North American Man/Boy Love Association. News of our shrinking freedoms and the endless struggles of that much miligned organization.
Bill Andriette reports on the new law requiring additional paperwork for sexually explicit publication. What this law requires is that publications maintain a public record of all the identies and ages of all models depicted in the magazine. It's so burdonsome that it will no doubt effect the bottom line of hundreds of tiny sex zines and may result in many of them shutting down for good. Because this law only applies to models engaging in "sexually explicit conduct," tame mainstream publications are alowed to go about their business unaffected. So far Brenda Tatelbaum is the first to go public in stating that she will not comply with the law in her publication *EIDOS*. Even though this legislation was created under the auspices of attacking groups like NAMBLA, it won't (directly) effect the publication *NAMBLA Bulletin*.

NAMBLA Bulletin: Voice of the North American Man/Boy Love Association Vol 16 Issue 1 July '95: A publication of the North American Man/Boy Love Association. News of our shrinking freedoms and the endless struggles of that much miligned organization.
In September of '94 three NAMBLA activists formed an New York-based non-profit corporation called Zymurgy. The priciple goals are to promote a greater understanding of sexuality and to provide fundraising for NAMBLA. Now the New York State Attorney General Dennis Vacco made a number of false allegations and vowed to dissolve the corporation. Hmmm, must be an election comming up.

The Necroerotic Vol 1 Issue 2: *The Necroeritic* is "a zine devoted to those who find sexual lust in cadavers." This zine is founded on the principles of defending peoples' rights to have sex with the dead and promoting necrophelia for people of all ages.
John has "had the pleasure of spending several dick-hardening evenings at the Wayne State University medical library" examining their collection of coroner journals. He includes references and descriptions of his favoraite articles in the *American Journal of Forensic Medicine*. Surprisingly, another good source for necro stories is the *Weekly World News*. John explained how his fantasy girl is a young victim of a serial killer with numerous bruses and and stab wounds covering her body. Contrast this to Donald Browning, who said he likes 'em clean, recently dead, and very beautiful.

We get a short biography of the orgininal Seargeant Bertrand who was a very active necropheliac back in 1847. He explained how legalized necrophilia, like necro-erotic brothels and potter's field date parlors, can help solve society's problems. We also get a true story of scaning the obituaries to find a youthful corpse to admire, a short piece of erotic fiction, and very gruesome photographs.

It's really wonderful hearing about all the people she met but even better are all the photos of the leading figure in the U.S. sex industry.

The main feature is a full report on the 1995 Planet Sex ball. Tuppy also wrote up one of the most straghtfoward and informative piece I've ever read about the sexuality and sexual function of disabled people. It was written as a primer for sex workers so that they can better understand the needs and the responces of their disabled clients. It sounds like Tuppy is doing some incredible work for those people with sexual needs outside the mainstream. Bravo!

I like how they mix cheesy photos of naked guys in rediculous poses with lots of intriging writing. My favorate piece is the collection of interviews with women who work in the porn industry. They interviewed the senior editor at *Penthouse*, the head of Feminists for Free Expression, the marketing director for CyberSpice, and the owner of the Blue Angel Erotic Cabaret.
Since they're being so nice, include something (like a photo of your piece genitalia) for their trouble.

Of course it isn't a typical readers' poll as it includes such questions as "How long is your penis?" "How deep is your love?" and "What does semen taste like?" Seven people responded including such notables as d.b. VelVeeda and John Porcellino. I really enjoyed the sex toy reveiw section that features lengthy discussions about using Alka Seltzer, female condoms, and vibrators in sex play. Not to be too limiting, we get a rant about Windows 95 and a whole bunch of amusing comix.

Roots: Transgenderism in Time & Space Vol 1 Issue 1 Autumn, 1995: "It seemed like every book on crossdressing or transsexualism or transgenderism either ignored its presence in the ancient world, or gave a skewed and simplified version of it which I, as someone who's gotten a Master's in Greek and Latin, could not recognize." This is another reason why I love zines - they'll print the truths overlooked by the regular media.
This issue looks at transgenderism, both female-to-male and male-to-female, mostly in classical Greek history and mythology. "The three greatest heroes found in Greek mythology all have something very interesting in common: at some time during their lives, Achilles, Heracles, and Theseus all took on characteristics of the opposite sex." Some of the essays here also cover transgenderism in modern pop culture (especially music) and tribal practices.

In addition to all the photos, we get news, interviews, and product reviews that are written in the friendliest "here's some neat stuff I discovered" tone.

I really like the AIDS conspiracy bits, especially the congressional transcrips from 1970 where they talked about developing an AIDS-like biologial warfare disease in about 10 years. It also has the results of his sex/virginity survey.

Video Xcitement: The Nation's Leading Adult Video Shopping Publication Vol 9 Issue 4 July '95: "A monthly publication serving adult video enthusiasts and collectors worldwide, offering them a forum in which to buy, sell and trade adult-oriented videotapes."
This is *VX's* 100th consecutive issue. There's quite a variety of stuff reviewed within these pages: amateur, pro, bondage, catfights, spanking, and anal. The review of the video *The Fat, the Bald, and the Ugly* kind of made me cringe, but it exemplifies the attention to detail demonstrated by *VX's* publisher. All manner of erotic entertainment is covered, and there are plenty of ads to help the reader find what he or she is looking for.

WhAP!: Women Who Administer Punishment Vol 1 Issue 1: I've seen a bunch of zines devoted to women as tops/men as bottoms S/M relationships, but never with this much character, style, and humor. Instead of dry discussions about tools and techniques, *WhAP!* playfully explores the power dynamics between men and women.
They start with a bang with this hilarious article about Conservative Republican Women, exploring thier personal style and dress. We also get a revised marriage cememony to unite dominatrix with slave, tips for diapering your hubby, some short fiction, and a nine-page illustraed overview of the spanking scenario.
I love how it's full of 50's styled female images. It takes you back, both visually and mentally.
