Privately Published: A Descent Into Early 20th Century Mail Order Erotica

Author Colin Dickey shares the sexual tribulations of 20th-century mail order erotica at Machine Project. Not familiar with the lost literary subgenre? To avoid post office censors, mail order erotic literature used to be disguised as academic papers, which created an unsatisfying and frustrating mix of science and smut. So the next time you sneak in some "me" time, make sure to thank the Internet (or your imagination).
