Paul Raymond Publications designed a magazine in response to what two US adult magazines?
Paul Raymond Publications Paul Raymond Publications is a British pornography publisher of monthly softcore pornographic magazine titles: "Escort", "Club International", "Mayfair", "Men Only", "Men's World", "Razzle", "Swing Mag", "Club DVD" and "Escort DVD". It also publishes an adult website at which features both softcore and hardcore content since UK law does not allow hardcore R18 imagery to be sold on newsstands. Their magazines are generally available in most newsagents, although some larger retailers require a modesty bag in order to protect minors from seeing gratuitous flesh on display on the cover. As from 2013, their magazines are also available in digital format exclusively on the Paul Raymond digital newsstand. Blue Active Media Ltd. is the parent company.
Pubic Wars Pubic Wars, a pun on the Punic Wars, is the name given to the rivalry between the pornographic magazines "Playboy" and "Penthouse" during the 1960s and 1970s. Each magazine strove to show just a little bit more than the other, without getting too crude. The term was coined by "Playboy" owner Hugh Hefner. In 1950s and 1960s America, it was generally agreed that nude photographs were not pornographic unless they showed pubic hair or genitals. "Respectable" photography was careful to come close to, but not cross over, this line. Consequently, the depiction of pubic hair was "de facto" forbidden in U.S. pornographic magazines.
