Sex Bizarre Reviews


Recommended Posts

Thanks so much for this @greedyneedygirl - it must have been a labour of love for you to pull together the issues from the Internet - not an unpleasant one. I'll be following this thread with interest 🙂. One thing I remember from hard-core magazines of this type, but perhaps 10-15 years later, was the multi-lingual captions for some of the stories. Did this first edition have that?

Great idea indeed. I look forward to reading your reviews.   I bought some issues of this magazine in the 1980s and they were the first pictures I had ever seen of women peeing.  I absolutely loved them. It will be a real treat to read your opinions and reactions to the scenes and stories.

Thanks @greedyneedygirlfor starting you're review of the classic Sex Bizarre and Color Climax magazines. I am a big fan of the classic retro porn images and movies. There was something so natural and non staged or forced about the action.

I like how you describe the action of the images in fine detail. It is very sexy to read you're interpretation of what's going on 

Keep up the good work 😉

No text in the first issue at all, that came later. I'll mention it in later reviews, English, German and Danish I think.

Yes, that 'naturalism' was a key attraction, certainly giving the impression that the 'models' enjoyed participating in the photo-stories.

I remember going into sex shops in Amsterdam in the 80's and being mesmerised by the contents of Sex Bizarre and Color Climax. They paved the way for watersports magasines in that era.

Yes, I've been to Amsterdam a few times, the first time on a student visit. We walked the streets, but dare not enter any of the shops, some had magazines displayed in the windows. Most major European Cities would have had zones that had sex shops, live shows and prostitution. Soho, London in the 1970's was controlled by organised crime and the shops were constantly subject to vice squad raids.

In Australia, in the days before everyone owned a VCR, sex shops often sold illegal, hardcore porn mags like Sex Bizzarre. Shops were regularly raided by the police (our tax dollars being put to good use, lol), but it didn't stop them selling hardcore stuff - the fines were probably fairly miniscule, compared to the money that could be made. I guess the sales of magazines would have declined as more and more people got VCRs. I can remember buying a couple of watersports VHS tapes, but I can also remember buying a tape in which a scene of a woman peeing on a guy had been edited out.

Sex Bizzarre magazines were the first pee porn I ever saw, and I was surprised to see pee included as part of what was otherwise fairly vanilla content.

Amsterdam was, at the time a very safe place to walk around as the shops, cinemas and girls relied on tourists for their trade so their pimps made sure there was no crime. Last time I went, which was a few years ago, I felt very unsafe due to the huge number of imigrants roaming the streets.

Soho seemed the complete opposite, in fact I am amazed Soho survived at all, it was such an unwelcoming place.

Apologies, I have diverted you off slightly off topic.

That's interesting, I never figured on Australia being part of the global 'porn' network! Excuse my ignorance. Color Climax Corporation shot films at the same time, 16mm, then converted to 8mm for re-sale in adult shops and mail order. They then ventured into VHS Cassettes, creating better quality films, these were also sold in sex shops.

Not at all, any comments help contextualise my project. Holland had/has a very relaxed view on censorship and vice, although I have heard that they are trying to 'clean-up', in much the same way New York, (in and around Times Square) did in the 1990's. The problem with the UK, as I understand it was the re-selling of counterfeit Danish magazines, using the covers to produce tame soft-core images. You're right about Soho.

I only bought a couple of Sex Bizzare mags, but I do remember wondering why the women quite often wore wigs, Was the wig supposed to be some sort of disguise? Filming pee porn must have been a bit trickier than filming vanilla porn - the performers had to be ready and able to pee on command, and if a scene didn't go to plan, you couldn't go back and do a second take. I'm thinking the blonde with the shaved pussy in SB 4 would have been a rarity for 1970s porn - all the women in the SB mags I bought had pubic hair.

I wonder whether they employed cleaners!!

I'd like to think that the production was a bit of a cottage industry and that everyone did everything. I fondly imagine the photographers helping out with the cleaning, and the models putting the kettle on for a nice after-shoot cuppa and digestive biscuit, and bringing their own towels, maybe toilet paper etc. I am sure it wasn't like that, but I'd like to hope it was!

I agree, Kupar...but for the 'cuppa' and a digestive biscuit! 😂 In Denmark!? Although as I understand they did recruit from beyond Scandinavia, so you could be right.

In the late 60s and early 70s,  wigs in different colours and styles were basically a fashion accessory for women.  Shopping malls had "wig boutiques."  I never noticed that this had changed until you mentioned it,  but now you point it out,  I haven't seen a woman wearing a wig for a long time.

It’s not long before one of the women pees directly on the younger guy’s face, then everyone joins in, perhaps the first time that pissing over faces and bodies is depicted.

Some really sweet pics of the women peeing on the guys' faces.  It was nice to see the woman from the front cover having her pussy licked by her man too,  although it looks like it was before she pissed on him.  These were the most erotic for me, as I have always loved to enjoy a woman's pee scent during cunnilingus.
