UK question number fifty. Page three and more

[Tomh1966]

I have an upcoming character who was a page 3 girl and is married now. Yes, her husband knows.

As I understand it, page 3 was only topless. What were some other outlets ***ca year 2010*** that would be 'Playboy' nudity but UK based? Ie softcore full nudity but no penetration, masturbation, or toys etc.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Playboy, Penthouse, Razzle, Glamour, I think.

The Daily Sport and Sunday Sport 'newspapers' had fake nude celebs and lots of topless girls - not sure if they were also nude but the wee thongs didn't cover much.

As from Kumquatqueen, but also Mayfair and Club International.

Mayfair and Club International.

Boy, those names bring back some memories!
I remember Mayfair having some pretty steamy stories.

 

[Tomh1966]

Were Razzle and Mayfair fully nude in 2010? I googled it and only came up with magazine covers.

Im looking for nude 'softcore.' IE not XXX or Hustler Magazine

 

[Tomh1966]

Yech that came out wrong. I need an example that is fully nude but not hardcore. Sigh. Think before I write is not happening apparently. Year ~2010 is important as that is when it happened.

Anything that could be bought at the UK version of the 'news stand' would fulfil your requirements exactly. The titles Kumquatqueen and I reference were all 'fully nude but softcore' and could be bought off the top shelf of any newsagent shop. Mayfair or Penthouse were at the top end of the market, Club International a step down, and Razzle at the bottom end, quality-wise.

Not any newsagent - WHSmith and others stopped selling porn by 2010. But independent newsagents would. Or you could order them to WHSmith.

The 'lads mags' like Nuts, Zoo, Bizarre and FHM and Sky often had bits of nudity in passing.

Note that the Sun stopped Page 3 in 2015 after a campaign against it.

For 2010, you could have her doing BabeStation (IIRC) and those other sex phone television programs at the end of the list of digital channels.

By 2010 you could buy hardcore pornography in registered sex shops, but not in the newsagent at the cornershop (but anyone would have stopped buying paper porn by then anyway, your year seems well after the golden age of innocent porn.)

and Razzle at the bottom end, quality-wise.

I don't think this can be stressed enough. Don't let your character have appeared in Razzle!
