The history of adult magazines
The history of adult magazines probably started with the advent of half tone printing in the 1880s. By this method, black-and-white photographs could be reproduced inexpensively for the first time. As with any innovation, film, video, DVD and the Internet, the pornographers were in the forefront of the innovation. The half tone printing process meant these magazines could be reproduced to a mass market. The first girly mag's appeared in France featuring nude models, often burlesque actresses posing semi-nude, by today's standards these would be classed as very soft core, but in their day they would of been extremely shocking.
These publications, branched off so they could become acceptable in the mainstream by masquerading as either "art magazines" or for the so-called celebration of naturism, it was amazing how many men were in to naturism, when Health and Efficiency started in Britain in 1900.
By the 1940s glamour mags were far more acceptable, focusing mostly on the models legs, so these could be pinned up on the walls, therefor the term was coined "pin-up". By the 50s tastes had changed for the more voluptuous figure and concentrating more on the models breasts. Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable, were hugely popular pinup stars.
In 1953 Hugh Hefner started Playboy, the first glossy men's magazine of the type that we know today, featuring Marilyn Monroe as the centerfold in his first issue. These magazines featured nude and semi-nude women, but pubic hair was not shown as this was generally considered as the line of decency, if this line was crossed, it was called pornography. In 1965 Bob Guccione started Penthouse magazine.
This period was called the pubic wars, because of the rivalry between Playboy and Penthouse to go that little step further to push the boundaries. Penthouse magazine, was the first publication to show pubic hair and full frontal nudity from its conception, but in a blurry airbrushed approach, these images stepped beyond the bounds of so-called art magazines and jumped feet first into the world of pornography according to the more sensitive people of the 1960s.
Playboy did not show any pubic hair until its August issue in 1969 and did not show it on the centerfold model until the December issue of 1969, when glamour model Gloria Root showed a wisp or two.
Two years later, in 1971 Miss January, Liv Lindeland was to be the first playmate to clearly show the first full frontal shot on the centerfold. This opened the floodgates to more and more publishers of girlie mags, all trying to push legal boundaries further, the main one being Larry Flynt's Hustler.
