Escort (magazine)

Escort is a British men's softcore adult magazine featuring erotica published monthly by Blue Active Media Ltd.[1] It is published by Paul Raymond Publications,[2][3] a company that also publishes a number of similar magazines, including Club International, Mayfair, Men Only, Men's World, and Razzle.

The origin of these titles lies in businessman Paul Raymond's expansion from strip club management into magazine publishing in the 1960s.

[5] In 1980, Raymond began publishing Escort as a top-shelf magazine with the revived title.

[2][7] It often features photo-shoots taken in an "ordinary" location like a pub, or outdoors at a place familiar to British readers.

In 2008 Stephen Bleach, who had worked as publishing director for Paul Raymond Publications, described Escort as "cheerfully brazen" in contrast to Club International and Men Only, which he described as "pseudo-glamorous".
