Adult Porn
A newer world where sex and sexual expression is for all
With its blend of brain candy and eye candy, it's easy to compare Adult, a magazine "of contemporary erotics and experience," to early Playboy. But Adult's mix of lit, pulp, and porn reflects a newer world where sex and sexual expression is for all, not something where men are subject, woman merely object, and everyone is straight.
Founded by a co-ed team of New York-based writers and artists, the first print issue of Adult appeared in fall 2013, featuring softcore photo essays, a report about visiting a dildo factory, a recipe for oyster omelets, an interview with horror director David Cronenberg, erotic poetry, and a citizen's guide to sousveilling the cops. Its first two ads are for luxury designer Marc Jacobs and the indie leftist mag The New Inquiry.
The second issue (minus the male founders) will be released this fall. The online version, adult-mag.com, provides lightly kinky and artfully amateurish photos amid first-person sex tales and meditations on the meaning of naked selfies.
