I guess when most talk of before computers, they mean things like the Internet and such.
I have worked on computers since 1969, and learned about them in the 60s at school.
Yes things were hard to find back then. I remember finding some adult magazines and such in my teens. In the early 70s would visit NYC and check out the adult book stores. Always embarrassed to get ones about CDs and such. Try and find out about TS was very hard. Sometimes could find medical stuff in libraries.
After the military in 1974 found a group that would meet once a month or so, mostly CDs. Occasionally would find others that wanted more. We quickly started to go to Lesbian clubs. The Gay clubs weren't big on CDs or TS. Found a group of around 12 and had our own little support group.
And as they say that was the beginning for me.
