Dirty Found. “We collect dirty found stuff: pervy Polaroids,
sleazy birthday cards, raunchy to-do lists, nasty poetry
on napkins, illustrations—anything that gives a glimpse
into someone else’s sex life. It’s just like our sister, Found
Magazine, only sleazier. We certainly didn’t invent the idea of
found stuff being cool. Every time we visit our friends in other
towns, someone’s always got some kinda unbelievable found
note or photo on their fridge. We wanted to make a magazine
so that everyone can check out all the strange, hilarious, and
heartbreaking things people’ve picked up. After a few years
of collecting all these finds, we ended up with a big, fat folder
of pervy stuff, and now it’s time to share the goods with you
guys. For more info, check [www.dirtyfound.com] and [www.
foundmagazine.com]. For Dirty Found orders in the US, send
$10 (plus $3 shipping). For international orders (outside
the US), send $10 (plus $6 shipping) to the address below.
Send us your finds! Dirty Found, 3455 Charing Cross Road,
Ann Arbor MI 48108-1911, USA.”

Debra Hyde discovered everything she knew about sex was
wrong when, long ago, she kissed a boy and learned that
everything her mother had told her was bullshit. Today, she
mouths off regularly about sex and culture at her blog, Pursed
Lips [www.pursedlips.com], and her erotic fiction appears in
many major erotica anthologies. She thinks life’s too short for
prudery, sex-phobic thinking, and sexual stupidity, and writes
to counter those voices that would like nothing more than a
full return to the days of the Comstock Law.
