Most of us boys growing up in the 1950s had no access at all to pornography or even nude pictures of women (besides an occassional topless maiden in National Geographic which gave us a boner for a week!) Full frontal nudity was a taboo, even in men's magazines! I finally found a nudist magazine one day but they had the women's pubic area airbrushed out which confused me. I knew girls had cracks down there (I had seen my sisters nude a few times) but couldn't understand where that crack went when girls got older. I thought maybe it slipped further down between their legs so they could have babies. I also had no idea that after puberty, hair grew in that region. I graduated from high school not having a clue on what was really down there!
