    Her torrid freshness became an underground legend among the talent set. Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable Brooke Shields to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal, but oh, so sweet. Welcome to the end of innocence, Brookie.

    Multiple people had to okay that. How? HOW???

      Multiple people had to okay that.

      Did they though? Back in the 70s? I wasn’t alive so this is a real question, but "Okay"ing things before publishing feels more recent than that. Especially in something like high times.

        According to someone else in this thread it was written by the founder and owner, as well. You can still publish weird predatory shit about a tween now, although you’d probably try to stay anonymous.

        Is a criminal thing to say about anyone at any age.

        Even saying that about an adult is suspect.

      Don’t ask Danish people about which kind of porn was not only legal, but actively produced in their country up until the '90s

        Don’t ask Americans about the movie starring an underage Brooke Shields where her virginity being auctioned off is a plot point.
