bOING bOING #10 (Los Angeles)

With bOING bOING issue #10 you get the inevitable "SEX" issue, another subject that was de rigeuer with alternative culture types at the time. And for good reason, really...with the technological advances of the late-80s/early-90s you also had a second sexual revolution. Video technology and the Internet had revolutionized pornography, taking it out of the adult bookstores with greasy floors and bringing it to your living room and bedroom. This issue includes interviews with visionary Terence McKenna, sexy rocker Nathalie of the Lords Of Acid, and writers Brenda Laurel and Marc Laidlaw; a review of aphrodisiacs; articles on "virtual sex,""holy whores" and computer porn; and more book, zine, comics and music reviews than you could shake a stick at!

I had that issue! #10 It came out around 94 or 95 I think. I remember the photo of a wire sculpture for the sex goddess article. I did a deconstruction of it for an art appreciation class. I remember one of my classmates probably thought I was a perv when she realized it was an all sex issue. Wasn't there a sex toy review article too?
