Off Our Backs is a feminist magazine; more radical than Ms. I don't know if it's still published, but I saw a few issues in the late 70's. On Our Backs is a lesbian S&M porn magazine. It was still being published as of three years ago. If you live in the San Francisco area, you can get it at Good Vibrations -- I believe there's some overlap between the folks who run Good Vibrations and those who publish On Our Backs. Many feminist bookstores won't carry On Our Backs because they consider it to be pornography. Also, Ms. magazine won't carry ads from Good Vibrations, although they once did a feature on the store. -ed falk, sun microsystems sun!falk, falk@sun.com card-carrying ACLU member.
