It was the French who produced the first nude magazines in 1880, as souvenirs for patrons of Parisian music halls. Newsstand magazines followed, and the elegant \u003cem\u003eLa Vie Parisienne\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eParis Life\u003c\/em\u003e), full of sexy fiction and illustrations, debuted in 1914. American \u003cstrong\u003eWilford Fawcett\u003c\/strong\u003e launched \u003cem\u003eCapt. Billy’s Whiz Bang\u003c\/em\u003e in 1919, helping launch the first sexual revolution of the 1920s. Decadent \u003cstrong\u003eWeimar Berlin\u003c\/strong\u003e produced cabaret, fetish and free love magazines, countered by nudist titles pushing fascist politics!\n\nThe 1930s economic depression boosted demand for cheap escape, and men’s magazines delivered. There were film magazines of sexy starlets; “model study” art magazines; hardcore comics called \u003cem\u003eTijuana Bibles\u003c\/em\u003e; “spicy” fiction digests with sexy painted covers; and detective titles of bad dames. When another world war erupted it required pinup magazines for fighting men, and after the war new men’s magazines rose from the ashes.\n\n“Men’s magazine” is a euphemism for “sex magazine,” and this series traces its origins from 1900 to 1979, from the first coy French illustrations to the adult emporiums of Amsterdam, in six volumes, 2,760 pages, and nearly 4,000 full color covers and interior images. \u003cstrong\u003eDian Hanson\u003c\/strong\u003e produced men’s magazines from 1976 to 2001, including \u003cem\u003ePuritan, Juggs\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLeg Show\u003c\/em\u003e, before becoming Taschen’s Sexy Book editor.\n\nFirst published in 2005, long unavailable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59640611569950,"sku":"HISM01H","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/hism01h-history-of-mens-magazine-vol-1-book.jpg?v=1784499640","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/dian-hansons-the-history-of-mens-magazines-volume-1-from-1900-to-post-wwii","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
