Naked Magazine's Worldwide Guide to Naked Places - 8th Edition: Volume 8

Product Information

The company still exists through the archive of its vintage pornographic material though the magazines themselves were sold to a German company in the 1990s A British magazine celebrating well-known erotic and porn models, Men’s World is a softcore publication. Club also produces several spin off titles including Club Extreme, Club Raw, Club Explicit, Club Kink, Club Asian, Club Letters, Club Confidential and Club Chicas. There is also an annual Best of Club publication. The internet is a noisy place and adult magazines offer a calm and restorative way to enjoy legalised porn from the comfort of your own home. The benefits of printed material over the web mean magazines will never lose a WiFi connection at just the wrong time. Unlike its British cousin, the American version contains hardcore content including insertions, lesbianism and masturbation.

The magazine’s selling point has always been its association with promoting new talent in the AV industry as well as its unfussy centrefolds. In this issue you will never be left feeling blah, as the incredible folks who submitted their work have really brought a lot of energy to the table. The format of girl-next-door, amateur style content is a popular one and includes features on reader’s wives and true confessions as well as glamour models. A Playboy creator is someone who is able to embrace their creativity, their sexuality and freely and unapologetically express themselves,” Cerny said in a statement. “I can’t wait to share more of my journey with exclusive behind-the-scenes content with my fans on my Playboy channel.”A brief spell in the 1990s saw the magazine try a more hardcore approach but has since reverted to the more popular and mainstream format, similar to that of Playboy. Escort’s USP is the publication of amateur models and, more specifically, reader’s wives and girlfriends (an elaborate form of hotwifing). Emulating the success of the popular format made famous by fellow British magazine, Fiesta (see below), Escort features softcore images of women in public locations.

This magazine commenced publication in 1966 as the ‘ Adam Film Quarterly’ and launched a second title, ‘ Adam Film World Guide’, in 1981 which eventually became the flagship title Penthouse saw a new kind of image with the models being posed to look indirectly at the camera and the magazine had the appeal of voyeurism. The title was also the first to publish a full frontal nude image or images that showed some pubic hair. Causing a good deal of controversy at the time, this development of mainstream publishers opened the doors for new entrants to the market including fellow UK title, Mayfair. The 1960s saw many new entrants to the adult magazine market, including British publication Mayfair. A case of ‘another one bites the dust’, Celebrity Skin was a niche magazine showcasing nude and semi-nude pictures of celebrities. With the rise of such material now being freely and widely available on the internet it is little wonder that circulation figures dwindled over the last decade making the title unviable. In the 1920s, the British title ‘Health & Efficiency’ began publishing images of the naked female form in the name of naturism. A cultured periodical that was already considered by many as being obscene was largely regarded as a softcore adult magazine by the time of the Second World War.Despite focusing much of its content on serious articles that provoke interesting debate and less on the naked female form, Playboy continues to be the granddaddy of the adult magazine. A French magazine which was set up to rival Playboy in Europe, Lui sold the US franchising rights to Playboy in 1972 (see Oui, above). The title gained notoriety in 1969 by questioning the sexuality of J Edgar Hoover and later in 1972 by publishing unauthorised photographs of Jaqueline Kennedy in the nude. These two powerhouses of pornographic print remained the only mainstream titles widely available on the market until the 1960s saw some new entrants; Lui, a French title launched in 1963 and Penthouse , a British magazine in 1965.
