This rare October 1972 edition of the iconic British men’s title represents a bold slice of Seventies softcore history and countercultural commentary. Published by Galaxy Publications Limited during the peak of the sexual revolution, this issue captures the permissive spirit of the era through its unique blend of provocative photography and investigative reporting.

The front cover presents a striking portrait of a model in sheer white loungewear, serving as the gateway to a series of controversial features typical of the publication’s edgy reputation. Key articles highlighted in this volume include a special report titled Martyrs of the Sexual Revolution which examines the real victims of a permissive society, alongside a consumers guide to romance in hospitals under the provocative heading Matrons of Dishonour.

Further content explores niche interests through a pictorial study of fetishism in the piece titled Buttocks Beautiful, while the humorous and risqué Inter-City Sex examines the effect trains supposedly have on social interactions. As an upmarket sister publication to Fiesta, this magazine is a sought-after artifact for collectors of vintage adult media and social historians interested in the shifting moral landscapes of the early nineteen seventies.
