Polaroid Girlfriends of the s

The post-war era saw radical changes in every aspect of society, including culture. There was a huge boom in access to nude images, in magazine form, on the movie screen, and even in the home, after Polaroid cameras went on sale in the late 1940s. Suddenly people didn't necessarily have to take rolls of film to be developed at a photo shop or pharmacy. That was still common, but those who wanted instant pictures - or nudes that might be embarrassing to take to a photo shop - could simply take Polaroids in the privacy of their own homes. Any man hoping to convince his wife or girlfriend to pose nude could argue that the pictures would remain hidden in a shoebox or at the bottom of a dresser drawer, away from any prying eyes. Research indicates that millions of US women posed for nude or semi-nude photos, a number that increased dramatically with the arrival of phone cameras. Many of those women thought their children or their husband's buddies would never see their nude images, but often things turned out differently. Hubby would flash a few pics of his wife to a friend or two, or a curious son would find interesting pictures in a hiding place. Here are some of those images that were most likely never meant to be seen by anyone else. Is your own mother one of those who can be found naked on the Internet?
