Collector Appeal
• 1973 issues are increasingly scarce, especially in clean, bagged condition
• Early U.S. Penthouse prints (1970–1975) are among the most desirable due to cultural significance and softer artistic photography
• Excellent for vintage magazine collectors, erotica historians, and archive builders
• Strong resale consistency — early-70s Penthouse issues typically outperform 1980s–1990s editions
• Ideal investment piece for long-term collectors

places an order to the moment it arrives at their door. Every parcel is packed with genuine attention so that buyers can shop with confidence, knowing their privacy is protected at all times. Our workspace is completely smoke free and pet free, which means every item is kept clean, odour free, and in the best possible condition. Based in London, we welcome customers who prefer to collect their orders in person and we are always happy to arrange a convenient time. We continue to grow our presence on the website and on eBay while preparing to expand onto additional platforms, allowing more people to discover the kind of vintage magazines, adult content, alternative culture items, and unusual media that define our store.
Before any product is listed, it is carefully checked by hand to ensure it meets the standards our customers expect. Items are individually plastic wrapped, stored in an organised environment, and kept safe from sunlight or damage so that collectors receive them in excellent condition. We also buy and share products from sellers who want their magazines or media to go to a home where they will be appreciated rather than forgotten. Our approach is simple and honest. Provide a discreet service. Keep every order secure. Treat each item with the same level of care we would expect if we were the customer. As Naughtybydesire grows, we remain committed to offering a reliable experience, a trusted environment for buyers and sellers, and a collection that continues to evolve with new discoveries and rare finds.
