Escort (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Escort is a British men's adult magazine, or softcore magazine, which falls under the description of pornography, or erotica.

By 2006, Escort was in its 24th year, or volume. The content is a combination of photographs and text, with the photographs almost entirely being those of partially or completely nude females. They are photographed in an "American" style, in that their entire body is exposed, genitalia included, also they frequently open their vaginal lips (or labia) to provide a more detailed view of their genital area.

In contrast to the glamorous professional look portrayed by American titles like Playboy and Penthouse, and fellow British titles like Mayfair, Escort specialises in pictures of amateur (i.e. non-professional) models, some of which are sent to the magazine by readers - these are affectionately known as "reader's wives". It often features photo-shoots taken in an "ordinary" location like a pub, or outdoors at a place familiar to British readers. Its readership (and the "reader's wives") tend to be drawn from the British working class, making it an interesting expression of working class culture.

Escort is published by the Paul Raymond Publications company, which also releases six other similar titles each month, Club International, Just Girls, Mayfair, Men Only, Men's World, and Razzle.
