We went two different places but I love your examples much better than mine.
IIRC: In some places, Playboy or Hustler were outlawed completely by city ordinances.
Other places only certain stores could carry them. Even in the late 80's, they had to be sealed in plastic so kids couldn't read them. The hard core books and magazines had to be sold in adult book stores. (One industry the Internet has almost if not completely put out of business. )
