''Escort'' is a British men's adult magazine, or softcore magazine, which falls under the description of pornography, or erotica.〔Adam Briggs, Paul Cobley, "The media: an introduction", Pearson Education, 2002, ISBN 0-582-42346-5, p.477〕 By 2012, ''Escort'' was in its 32nd 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".〔Karl Simms, "Ethics and the subject", ''Critical studies vol.8'', Rodopi, 1997, ISBN 90-420-0022-8, p.208〕〔Peter Childs, Mike Storry, "Encyclopedia of contemporary British culture", ''Encyclopedias of Contemporary European Culture Series vol.4'', Taylor & Francis, 1999, ISBN 0-415-14726-3, p.537〕 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,〔Original cover design as shown on volume 13, number 3 (1993): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Escort_vol13_no3.jpg〕 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 Paul Raymond Publications 〔〔Lisa Z. Sigel, "International exposure: perspectives on modern European pornography, 1800-2000", Rutgers University Press, 2005, ISBN 0-8135-3519-0, p.167〕 which also releases other similar titles including, ''Club International'', ''Mayfair'', ''Men Only'', ''Men's World'', and ''Razzle''. ''Escort'' also has a digital identity on the official Paul Raymond site (paulraymond.xxx ), where the hardcore imagery not found in the print version is also shown. Escort is generally available in most newsagents, although some larger retailers require a modesty bag in order to protect minors from seeing gratuitous flesh on display on the cover. As from 2013, the magazine is also available in digital format exclusively on the Paul Raymond (digital newsstand ). ==See also== * Outline of British pornography 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Escort (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
