Paul Raymond Publications
Paul Raymond Publications is a British pornography publisher of monthly softcore pornographic magazine titles: ''Escort'', ''Club International'', ''Mayfair'', ''Men Only'', ''Men's World'', ''Razzle'', ''Swing Mag'', ''Club DVD'' and ''Escort DVD''. It also publishes an adult website at which features both softcore and hardcore content since UK law does not allow hardcore R18 imagery to be sold on newsstands. Their magazines are 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, their magazines are also available in digital format exclusively on the Paul Raymond (digital newsstand ). Blue Active Media Ltd. is the parent company.
== History ==
Paul Raymond's (1925–2008) publication ventures, financed by Raymond Revuebar profits, began with the short-lived ''King'' in 1964 〔(Obituary:Paul Raymond ), ''Daily Telegraph'', 3 March 2008〕 but the company was established with the purchase of ''Men Only'' in 1971 and ''Club International'' in 1972.〔(BBC NEWS | UK | Porn baron Raymond dies aged 82 )〕 Raymond relaunched ''Men Only'' with photographs of the women who worked at his strip-clubs.〔 Within a few years he made claim of a 500,000 circulation.〔 Raymonds daughter Debbie ran the company for a time, until her death in 1992 from an overdose.〔 The companies main competitors in the UK are Gold Star Publications, formerly owned by David Sullivan, and Northern & Shell, owned by Richard Desmond.〔 In 1999 the company had revenues of £20 million, and pre-tax profits of £19 million.〔 As of 2001 it produced eight of the 10 best-selling pornographic magazines in the UK, aided by its deal with Comag, one of Britains largest magazine distributors.〔 In the 2000s the companies fortunes waned due to competition from the internet and "lad mags".〔〔(Observer - Top shelf gathers dust )〕
