The Sexual Revolution brought France and Germany back into serious mens magazine production, along with Italy, England and even Australia between 1959 and 1969. Playboy met serious competition from Penthouse, big breast magazines debuted, and this volume covers it all in 650+ covers and interiors.
Sexual revolution, civil rights, Flower Power, miniskirt, womens liberation, The Pill, Black Panthers, hippies; all these words and phrases entered our language in the turbulent 1960s. The decade started as an extension of the domestic 50s and ended with worldwide chaos as baby boomers reached sexual maturity. What a fun decade for mens magazines.
While Playboys world dominance grew, with France, Germany, England, and Italy producing mens lifestyle titles, diversification spread in the U.S. The first big breast magazines debuted, with Fling, Gem and The Swinger; mens adventure titles with nudes provided nostalgia for mid-life veterans; humor magazines hung on barely while hippie nudist titles exploited a legal loophole allowing them to show pubic hair.
Italy finally joined the party with sexy fumetto photo comics and a hero named Supersex. Latin America clung to the old burlesque format, mired in religious restriction and political unrest. France retained post-war favorite Folies de Paris et de Hollywood for an older audience and launched elegant Playboy clone LUI for its sons. While the world donned miniskirts England did England, reveling in bloomer and petticoat fetishism with Spick and Span digests. But no one topped Germany, where Ulrike Meinhof edited Konkret in 1969, a magazine of sexual and political revolution, before forming Red Army Fraction with Andreas Baader to bomb, kidnap, and assassinate her way into domestic terror history.
Volume 3 contains over 650 groovy covers and photos from Argentina, England, France, Germany, Italy, and The U.S., plus text.
