Madonna SEX book Memories

Do y'all remember Madonna's SEX book? I was just thinking about this the other day and how it was such a big deal.

Picture it... 1992. It was my first semester in college. My new geeky, gay friend Kelly just cashed his (late) student loan check at the bank. While we were walking around campus, he turned to me and said, "Before I buy ANYTHING for class or pay a bill, I have to get Madonna's book, TODAY!"

Kelly had tried to get the book in town, but because it was Murray, KY, it would be a miracle if he could get it within 6 months. So, Kelly called around Paducah, KY to see where he could find it. Within 2 hours, he learned that the book was at an adult bookstore called Tammy's.

So we jumped in his car and headed down to Paducah to the porn store. Now, this was our first time at the porn store, so we had no idea what to expect. As we entered the shop, we noticed the weird burnt plastic smell and the creepy guys looking at us. We were a little scared, but walked to the counter and asked for the book. I also bought one because I thought we were buying a piece of history (silly teens).

The next day we had a SEX book party. Our friends came over to Kelly's room and we watched 'Truth or Dare' and gawked over the pages of the book. I was all into Vanilla Ice (don't judge) and this page.

Over the years the book fell apart and I through it out before I graduated. But I have been thinking about finding it on eBay and adding it to my coffee book collection. I guess, it was a piece of history to me.

Class of 1992

Wow! I haven't seen this in years. I lost my senior yearbook and I wish I knew how to get another one. Anywho...These are some of my classmates in high school.

There's me and my best friend, Davida, followed by my best friend/crush Brandon at the end.

Stephanie was the rebel, Darren was cute and Chris, I think he came out years later.

Those were interesting times back then. Although I was closeted, lonely and stuck in a small town, I knew the best days were coming.

And by the power of Greyskull, I was right!
