Paul Raymond Publications designed a magazine in response to what two US adult magazines?
Mayfair (magazine) Mayfair is a British adult magazine for men. Founded in 1965, it was designed as a response to US magazines such as "Playboy" and "Penthouse", which had recently launched in the UK. For many years it claimed the largest distribution of any men's magazine in the UK. It is a softcore magazine and is thus available in newsagents, although some larger retailers require a modesty bag to hide the cover.
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.
