For those of you men who are around my age, you were probably covertly reading whatever kind of smut you could get your hands on since the early 1980s. The specifics of what I was reading (not using) at that time are kind of vague. I did however come across the afformentioned magazine on one of those random iterative clicking journeys through Wikipedia that you are all surely familiar with.What I remember about Velvet specifically was that it was considered far and by large the nastiest of the nastiest dirt available at the time. So nasty even, that the only copy I actually ever saw belonged to some sick twisted kid at summer camp who stole it from his father before he left for the summer.
It would be interesting today, in the year 2007 to see what exactly was printed in this magazine. I remember it was pretty obscene at the time, but based on the cover alone, I bet it pales in comparison to a PG rated movie today (also note that Richard Pryor was somehow involved with this particular issue.)

Is it me, or was that Jered Shore that had that mag?
I think it was someone more random than that when we were like 7 years old. But it's certainly possible.
