Product Information

The introduction of halftone printing in 1880 allowed photographs to be replicated relatively inexpensively and it wasn’t long before the adult industry sat up and took notice; here was a method to mass produce erotic imagery and circulate these to a wider audience. Magazines like Loaded and FHM were all competing for shelf space but doing a better job at appealing to the masses who preferred to avoid the stigma of reaching to the top shelf for dirty magazines. Not only that but the growth of the internet was fast fulfilling the need for pornography a lot more discreetly.

The first editor of the High Society magazine was former porn star, Gloria Leonard who is credited with creating the first phone sex lines. The ‘upmarket’ sister title to the UK’s ‘ Fiesta’ (see below), Knave ran for 45 years before failing to keep up its circulation. Photographed without clothing, props or jewellery the centrefold is double-sided and the reverse shows the same model at a 45 degree angle. Club The magazine’s selling point has always been its association with promoting new talent in the AV industry as well as its unfussy centrefolds. As explicit images were becoming more common the seventies saw yet more titles hitting the top shelf with Hustler in 1974 in the USA and Men Only and Club International in the UK.

Early 20 th Century The return of the naked form in the March/April 2017 was launched with the much heralded marketing statement that ‘Naked is Normal’ and that sentiment has lain at the heart of Hefner’s vision for Playboy from its inception in 1953.

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.” 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.
