Escort (magazine): Difference between revisions
remove image, the page already has one cover shot which is enough for identification purposes, and secondly, the article is too short for two images cluttering it up |
As original cover design has been deleted from main page, I have added it as a reference |

Escort is a British men's adult magazine, or softcore magazine, which falls under the description of pornography, or erotica.[1]
By 2011, Escort was in its 31st 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.
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 "readers' wives".[2][3] It often features photo-shoots taken in an "ordinary" location like a pub, or outdoors at a place familiar to British readers.
Up to and including vol. 15 (1995), Escort had a distinctive 'cut-out' cover [4], which folded out into a poster; this 'cut-out' design allowed a few smaller pictures on the contents page to be visible, thus giving a sneak preview of other women posing in the magazine; one of these smaller pictures was usually that from the magazine's regular 'Girls of ...' feature showing women posing at various locations of that issue's chosen town.
Escort is published by the Paul Raymond Publications company,[2][5] which also releases six other similar titles each month, Club International, Just Girls, Mayfair, Men Only, Men's World, and Razzle.
