PURE SEX ON THE BEACH

Go in the water? That's the freaking North Sea you're talking about.

It’s been a few years, so we’re returning to subject of German actress Karin Schubert today with this brilliant shot that first appeared as a centerfold in the West German magazine Sexy, a publication that did this sort of thing often. Schubert is a unique figure. She was born in Hamburg during wartime in 1944, debuted in cinema during the late ’60s, then, after establishing herself as a mainstream actress, went into porn. We talked about that in detail here, and we also mused on the relationship between mainstream erotic films and xxx movies, with her as an example, at this post. The latter link contains some of our ponderings concerning nudity on our website, so you may be interested in that, and if so, we go into more detail on that subject here, and talk about the entire purpose behind the site here. The above shot dates from 1971. And by the way, Germany does have some nice beaches—when they aren’t covered by snow.

If a woman strips in the forest and no one sees her, did it really happen?

Edwige Fenech was born Edwige Sfenek in French-controlled Algeria to Maltese and Italian parents, and went on to become one of the most inspiring sex symbols of the late ’60s and early ’70s, acting in giallos, comedies, and horror films, hosting a chat show in the 1980s, and recently appearing in Hostel: Part II. The striking image above is from the West German magazine Sexy, and it dates from 1971 or 1972. The caption tells us Fenech is the “Traum-Girl der Woche,” or Dream-Girl of the Week. 

West German nudie mag states the obvious about its four-time cover star.

We always talk about how Pulp Intl. is like an old bookstore that you need to sort through to find the good stuff. Here’s a prime example. Whenever we screw up a post the blank template sits in the database staring at us, so rather than be reminded of our past mistakes, we eventually use those spots to add items to the website to reward visitors who look really hard. Case in point—a full four years after originally messing up this little spot in the database we’ve filled it with the above covers of the West German nudie magazine Sexy, all featuring Christina Lindberg in various states of undress and from various lovely angles. As smut mags go, Sexy was a class act, and many aspiring and actual movie stars appeared in its pages. Examples—Edwige Fenech and Marlene Wiese. These four shots of Lindberg were published from 1971 to 1974, and if you’ve found them, they were certainly worth the effort weren’t they?
