A fantasy sketch from my randy teenage years

I've unearthed this drawing I did when I was a youngster, while still (externally at least), a devout practicing Roman Catholic - and what a sex-crazed little bugger I must have been! I know that I would never have owned up in Confession to having drawn anything like this even though I knew that even just thinking of such things was a mortal sin, condemning me to everlasting Hell-fire torment. 
   This was at a time long before porn videos were available and even before porno magazines were easily obtainable. One had to order them from abroad, always with the very real risk of having the package opened and examined by the police - and often actually being charged with soliciting 'indecent' material, so it was a very oppressive and dangerous time when I didn't dare risk as much as some did. The only regular and marginally less dangerous means to gather porn material was from contacts written on walls of public shithouses - or to read the stories, looking at the drawings (while tossing yourself off) - and, as I did, to make one's own contributions to this 'artists and writers gallery' for others to appreciate. Sad times.
    I haven't shown this drawing to anyone before - and it would have been a shame to have kept it unseen. I never continued with sketching, though now wish I had. However, the subject of this drawing shows that my teenage imagination was pretty fertile - and I already  knew what was turning me on. Hope some of you like it too.
