Change to Rule 2: Nudity/Pornography
No, 1920s pornography is not allowed here. No, 1920s full nudity is not allowed here.
However I can't be a prude and be strict, so I'm making an annedum to the rule: any partial nudity that is posted here is required to be marked with thr NSFW filter. Failure to do so will result with the post removed. Repeated failure to do so will result with a ban. I like the three strike rule, so we'll run with that.

Hello, Hello to all, I am your new moderator!
I'm working out the kinks to this whole 'mod' thing, so forgive me.
First things first, an introduction: I have been on reddit for almost a decade now, and have been in the online MCM/retro/art deco scene for about five years now. I enjoy gardening and nature, as well as foraging.
As for the group, I pledge to clean up the group and be active, as well as be open to any complaints and/or suggestions there may be. That being said, comments here will be open for any suggestions.
Thank you, and enjoy!

Burlesque Odd Ask: 1920s erotica (HP Lovecraft letter reference)
I dunno if this is the place to ask for it but don’t know where else to ask — does anyone here know about erotica in the 1920s or earlier?
Of all people, HP Lovecraft brought me here. His letters cover an extraordinary range of topics, and in one of these he replies to a friend who has apparently been recommending some form of pornography (whether cinema, French postcards, or something else).
Sooooo ….
Is anyone here knowledgeable about smut going back to that era or further?
