Comments on: SEX WORRIES of TEENAGE BOYS (Jan, 1959) http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/12/22/sex-worries-of-teenage-boys/ Yesterday's tomorrow, today. Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Anna http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/12/22/sex-worries-of-teenage-boys/comment-page-1/#comment-1082069 Anna Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:18:35 +0000 http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/12/22/sex-worries-of-teenage-boys/#comment-1082069 I am an intern researching for a forthcoming exhibition at the soon to be opened Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate, UK. The exhibition, showing for 6 months from September 2011, will be called Nothing in the World but Youth, and will explore how young people have been represented in art and culture from the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. Rather than a chronological survey of artworks, we have identified themes that allow us to best explore this complex and often contradictory stage of life. The exhibition will address both teenage experience and the ambiguous views that society has had of its own young people since adolescence emerged in cultural consciousness as a distinct phase of life. The main body will, of course, consist of art works, but we are also looking for photographs, media footage and cuttings, and other relevant memorabilia to support and broaden our themes. I stumbled upon this blog and this Sexology article purely perchance, but it is a real gem, and we would absolutely *love* to be able to show it in the exhibition. I've been fruitlessly trying to trace an archive or collection, or even an individual who might have a copy of this issue (or, indeed, of any other issue containing pertinent, youth-specific, articles!). I have tried worldcat.org, but to no avail, and I've also looked on ebay, but, obviously, the issues cropping up there are sporadic and unpredictable. Do you have a copy yourself, or, if not, where did you find a copy from which to scan these pages? Would you be willing to consider loaning it, or a facsimile thereof, to us for the purposes of the exhibition? I would be extremely grateful were you able to help me at all, or else to point me in the direction of someone who might be able to. Thank you in advance!

The boys back then had some weird hangups. “I have been in-volved in sex play with a boy friend. What should I do?” I always thought people back then were a little more homophobic. Uhh, WTF??
