Fiesta (magazine)
''Fiesta'' magazine was a British adult magazine featuring softcore pornography, published by Galaxy Publications Limited. It was a sister publication of '' Knave'', launched two years later. Launched in 1966 by the British photographer Russell Gay, ''Fiesta'' quickly became Britain's top-selling adult magazine. Dubbed "the magazine for men which women love to read", the monthly magazine's readers were responsible, in the early 1970s, for creating a feature that has been adopted in magazines worldwide: Readers' Wives. Central to this theme is the monthly "Readers' Wives Striptease" section, which shows a set of photos of a supposed wife or girlfriend of a reader being photographed by ''Fiesta'' undressing (often, but not always out of everyday clothing) to full nudity. The Readers' Wives section was the subject of a song by John Cooper Clarke on his album ''Disguise in Love''. As well as its Readers' Wives and photographic girl sets, ''Fiesta'' is built around a core of readers ...

Pornographic Magazine
Pornographic magazines or erotic magazines, sometimes known as adult, sex or top-shelf magazines, are magazines that contain content of an explicitly sexual nature. Publications of this kind may contain images of attractive naked subjects, as is the case in softcore pornography, and, in the usual case of hardcore pornography, depictions of masturbation, oral, vaginal or anal sex. They primarily serve to stimulate sexual arousal, and are often used as an aid to masturbation. Some magazines are general in their content, while others may be more specific and focus on a particular pornographic niche, part of the anatomy, or model characteristics. Examples include ''Asian Babes'' which focuses on Asian women, or ''Leg Show'' which concentrates on women's legs. Well-known adult magazines include ''Playboy'', ''Penthouse'', ''Playgirl'' and ''Hustler''. Magazines may also carry articles on topics including cars, humor, science, computers, culture and politics. With the continued pr ...

Magazines Disestablished In 2015
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus '' Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper.

Pornography In The United Kingdom
Pornography in the United Kingdom is regulated by a variety of laws, regulations, judicial processes, and voluntary schemes. Pornographic material generally has to be assessed by regulators or courts to determine its legality. The Victorian pornographic tradition included French photographs, erotic prints, and printed literature. As technology has advanced, pornography has taken diverse forms and become more widespread in society. In the twentieth century the production of pornographic magazines and films developed, and by the twenty-first century pornography was available by telephone, on television and via the internet. However, access to pornography has generally been more restricted than it has been in comparable Western countries. By 2006 the UK pornography industry was estimated to be worth about billion, compared to billion worldwide. Legal situation The UK has a markedly different tradition of pornography regulation from that found in most other Western countri ...

Razzle (magazine)
''Razzle'' is a British pornographic magazine featuring softcore pornography. It was founded in 1983 and is published by Paul Raymond Publications. It currently focuses on girl-next-door style pornography, offering cash for any photos of "readers' wives" printed; in the past, however, several notable glamour models were featured, including minor celebrity Jo Guest. It also includes the traditional feature of sexual fantasy tales presented as "true" stories. There was an earlier UK men's magazine of the same title, published by Ritz Publishing Co., that dates from the 1930s to the late 1950s. This was a pocket format title, which featured a colour centre spread by the illustrator George Davies. Despite the market for softcore pornography decreasing in the UK, ''Razzle'' is still successful, having launched some spin-off titles including ''Razzle Extreme'', ''The Best of Razzle'', ''Razzle Readers Wives'' and ''Razzle DVD''. ''Razzle'' does, however, offer hardcore imagery and video ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Paul Raymond Publications
Paul Raymond Publications is a British publisher of softcore monthly pornographic magazine titles, including '' Escort'', ''Club International'', ''Mayfair'', ''Men Only'', ''Men's World'' and '' Razzle''. The company's lawyers scrutinise the magazine content before publication to ensure that it is likely to comply with the Obscene Publications Act 1959 since UK law does not allow hardcore R18 imagery to be sold on newsstands. The magazines are generally available in most newsagents, although some larger retailers require them to be sold in bags to protect minors from seeing the cover photographs. The magazines have also been published in digital format since 2013. They were initially available from the dedicated Paul Raymond digital newsstand, but since that closed they have been sold via the publisher's main website which contains both softcore and hardcore pornography. Blue Active Media Ltd. is the parent company. History Paul Raymond (1925–2008) began his publication ve ...
