National Graphic from today, 1965, with actress Mary Hughes on the cover from her film How To Stuff a Wild Bikini, and inside, stories about women’s exploding behinds and doctors making virgins. The former article is about fashion, and the latter is about sexual deception, i.e. surgically reconstructing the hymen so that a woman can appease her man by bleeding on her wedding night. You can draw your own conclusions about sexual pressures in places where the procedure is popular. Those places, by the way, include the U.S.—where born-again Christian women use it to erase evidence of their sexual past.
Like a virgin, touched for the very first time.
