Trying to explain to how it worked then is easy. Customers came to us with very little prompting. We were selling a drug they demanded. Boys would jerk off for years to the underwear section of a Sears catalogue because no one would sell them porn. Once they looked old enough they would spend money to buy porn. No matter how soft, even topless was good enough. A magazine like Escort sold 100,000 a month in the UK only, Hustler close to a million in the US only. Doing no more than putting it on a shelf.
Marketing wasn't required. The consumer was hooked.
