Apologies if this has been covered before, I searched but found nought. Does Screw Magazine take you back to a simpler time, a time of classified ads and pay phones? Any great stories? As a teenager I "screwed" up the nerve to buy a copy from a sidewalk news kiosk, usually in Times Square.
At the time I was a junior reporter for the internal newspaper of another publisher and, when our team played Screw I covered the game. Our team won and I wanted to see if I could slip a double-entendre past our editor so I wrote that our team "had administered a thorough licking" to Screw. I was amazed when it slipped through and appeared in print. Never did hear how many of our readers wee laughing up their sleeves.
responded to a Screw ad. Townhouse in mid-town Manhattan, must have been worth a fortune. Fee was the royal price of $150, and I could only afford to visit one time. Uncovered. Ladies looked like models, in fact I think they were. You sat down with one of the beauties and browsed through a photo album. Shazzam!
As a college student I lived in a house with a bunch of hippies, each one of us rented a bedroom and we shared a kitchen and bathrooom. It was a wierd collection of long hairs: I was a serious student but others were just there for the parties, including "Porno Frank" who was supporting himself by selling things he advertised in Screw magazine. Some were legit, like dildos. I remember trying to eat a hotdog while he packed up dildos for shipment. But he also posted ad such as "Pictures of 43 sexy pre-teens, send $5 to Pporno Frank", for which someone would receive a copy of his 4th grade class photo. He actually made a fair bit of money doing this and Screw eventually began posting warning in the Classified section.

I still have several issues saved of Screw from the good old days, and I did use to follow the ads as a guide for planning activities. They still make interesting reading when I dig them out. The publisher, Al Goldstein, you may know, passed away not long ago.
