The guilty pleasures of Benny Hill and other repressed memories

[Herbwoman39]

It's amazing how repressed memories spring up at the slightest hint of insight.

I now remember being 13 and watching Benny Hill really late at night. I could have cared less about Benny himself. I was watching for the bouncing beauties that would run across the screen.

But I always had this churning in the pit of my stomach. I KNEW if my parents ever caught me, I'd be dead. So I watched with the volume low, sitting close enough that I could turn off the TV really quick if someone walked by.

I also remember watching my Dad's straight porn when no one was home and wishing I was the guy making the woman moan like that.

I miss Benny Hill. And the little bald guy who was his sidekick, remember him?

BTW, I recall reading that Hill, who made a career of hilariously salivating over his cast of babes, was gay. What a laugh he must have been having!....but characteristically, a laugh with nothing malicious in it.

I remember doing similar things when I was young. I always liked looking at the naked women more then men even though the crushes I would have were on boys. When I was around 13 or so my best friend snuck one of her dads dirty novels from his stash and gave it to me to read. "Sargent Pattons Sex Spree" or something like that. It was my first dose of real sex and the more details aspects of it like anal beads, golden showers, etc.

Wll I liked Benny Hill too, but I also remember reading the National Geographic magaines and watching the naked men and women from the African tribes. You know that shaped many of the ways I saw things....I was 13 before I realized naked women didn't carry spears....

My Mom was an artist and she had a HUGE collection of National Geographic mags so I understand *completely* what you mean about the native people. I swear those are like soft porn for our generation. I loved looking at those photos.

Lord HerbWoman.... sitting here having my morning coffee and reading your very memory provoking thread.

That is what makes this site so enjoyable, is the people who contribute the thought provoking threads that bring us back to the full reality that we are ALL human and each have something to offer others, however small.

My first exposure to 'forbidden' pleasures were the 'Tijuana Bibles' or the '8 Pagers' as they were called. These small, poorly produced paper cartoon booklets of the popular comic figures of the day were found under the counters of some 7-11 stores and other places and were sold for a dime.

They were a very early form of crude, forbidden, fantasy of willing females and overly hung males and ran the gamut of Dagwood and Blondie, Sky King, Popeye, and other figures that you read in the privacy of wherever you went for privacy, and fantasized while you brought pleasure to yourself and then hid them, as best as you could until next time when the urge overcame logic. And back then, the urge could overcome logic several times a day.

God help you if your mother found them... she would scream and threaten all sorts of terrible things like, "wait till your father gets home..." And when he did, often times he would give you a stern talking to and you '8 Pager' would simply disappear.

I always wondered later in life if my mother and father enjoyed them as much as I did?

Oh well... enough of my ramblings for now. Thank you HerbWoman for allowing me to share your stroll down this lane of memories.

Loved Benny Hill and still watch re-runs on BBC in America.
When I was younger even the bra ads in the Sears catalog was enough to excite me. Come to think about it.... just about everything was enough to excite me.
Now that I am older..... :banghead:

P.S. Tommy... you actually had a dime to spend...?

I was relieved to find out I was adopted... the thought of my parents having sex gave me nightmares as a kid. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Apparently you don't know the women I know.
