[Margaret Pilkington]

I can recall womens 'bits'being discussed in the She magazine before the eighties........I used to buy that Mag now and again, once I had read it I gave it to my Mother-in-law.....she wasn't keen on it (because I had done the puzzles in there) she didn't care much for the frank discussion of various sexual topics.
I think you would have to go back a bit further than the eighties.......even in the fifties I remember my gran talking of various delicate issues in 'code'......for instance someone who had got accidentally pregnant, the chap had 'bitten the apple before he bowt(bought) the tree'.....or that they had played 'hide the sausage' there were lots of euphemisms that my little ears were not supposed to pick up on.
