VINTAGE STREAKING 

The female ournalist smiles at the naked rummers, while the men in the audience are really upset !

Minns ni streak-perioden? Birgitta Sandstedt slappte 1974 in nakna Lektyrmedarbetare i studion

Do you remember the streak period? In 1974, [the jounalist] Birgitta Sandstedt let naked Lektyr [Swedish magazine] employees into the studio

So what we see are three naked men running into a TV studio. He who runs first looks to be taking a rather wide curve, so one would like to believe that the speed is high. All three naturally have shoes and/or socks. On the right we glimpse a happily smiling host, the only woman in the picture. Behind and between the dicks sits an all-male debate panel, some of whom look as if they've just been notified of their mother's death, and one particular guy in bakelite frames, to the left of the hippie's shoulder, seems to be leaning forward to get a particularly close look in the crack. To the right of the last Adam, a studio man appears to be immortalizing his private photo album. You don't really want to know more, but leave the rest to the imagination. But those of you who can read the inset caption - the picture is f.ö. taken from one of my favorite books: "Did you see? TV remembers for twenty-five years" by Lizette and Allan Schulman (whose sons have since tried to recreate this shock effect with varying results) - see that the year is 1974 and the program is called Kvällsöppet. And that the three propeller owners are journalists from the newspaper Lektyr, which then stood approximately where Slitz and Moore stand today. Although, of course, with hairier bushes, more archipelago environments and fewer silicon implants. Streaking was popular in the seventies, at a time when anything that broke taboos was by definition good. I myself have indulged in this old folk sport - both privately and in public service - and insist that it is a very sympathetic way of fooling around. Undoubtedly, it is the prankster who takes the biggest hit. Had it been practical, I would have wanted this picture on my tombstone.

At our college, the streakers were 95% male. It would have been even better if all the streakers were male and there should be more of them, like every male in the college.

I went to a party when I was at university. Some lads just stripped one of their mates. I think it was his birthday. My girlfriend loved it he just sat there naked with a beer watching TV. She always loved looking at naked men. He had a little dick like me so I didn't mind too much.
