When I think about the '90s, one thing that comes to mind is adult coloring books for adults. And now, there's a whole new generation of people who grew up with those books. But what if you were a teenager in the '90s? You might remember when your parents gave you an adult coloring book as a present. They were fun and it was something different from other gifts they could give you. But did you know that some publishers actually included nude women?
That's right - before the internet took over the world, Gent Publishing released adult coloring pages briefy in the '90s. The pages featured cartoon busty women with outlines to color in. It wasn't long-lived, but definitely real. The idea behind these pages was to help people relax and de-stress. And hey, why not do so while looking at some sexy ladies?
So how did this happen? Well, according to Glamour magazine, it all started when a guy named Jim Cummins noticed that there weren't many options for men who wanted to enjoy some erotic artwork without having to buy porn magazines. He decided to start his own publishing company called Gent Publishing and create "artistic" adult coloring pages. And then he put them together into a book called "The Adult Coloring Book."
The pages themselves are pretty tame by today's standards. There are no naked bodies or anything too explicit. Instead, they feature women wearing lingerie or swimsuits. But still, it must have been quite shocking back then! People didn't expect such things to be found in a coloring book meant for adults.
But don't worry - if you want to see more of these kinds of images, there are plenty of places online where you can find them nowadays. You can even print them out and color them yourself! So if you want to relive your childhood memories or just enjoy some erotica on paper, check out the internet. Just make sure you have something to cover up with if someone walks in on you!
