COMMENT | When I was in school, our sex education consisted of the pornographic magazine being passed from one student to another, in secret.
The “porno mag” was smuggled into class, hidden in a school atlas. It was the biggest textbook which could easily hide the “Playboy” magazine.
Didn't they say that the best way to conceal something was to place it somewhere so obvious, that people wouldn't suspect it's being hidden?
The nuns at our Convent school, our teachers and our parents were pleasantly surprised that we were keen on geography. Little did they know.
By the time it was my turn to “read” the magazine, it was very battered with the pages, especially the centrefold, held together by sellotape.
Porno magazines are a terrible form of sex education, but that was all we had.
Sex was a taboo subject then; it still is today.
