I bought these issues of Cthulhu Sex more out of curiosity than out of a salacious desire to indulge in the viewing of seedy tentacle porn. At least that's the story I'm sticking with. I picked these up in Arkham – the long lamented shop in Brighton, UK, of which I've previously spoken. Interestingly Cthulhu Sex has a something of an occult/Chaos magickal/TOPY-like tenor, but is much less exciting and transgressive than it sounds (or indeed tries to make itself out to be). These are without doubt rather odd – as well as slightly embarrassing – additions to my collection.
I do have most of the issues of CSM (the early ones are hard to find, and I admit I ceased looking particularly hard), and it while it did feature the occasional Mythos piece from someone like Dan Clore, it was never particularly Lovecraftian, despite the title.
