Title of a short-lived 80s "high class" adult magazine?

ricochet · October 1st, 2018, 10:00 PM

Hi! Please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place - I've been a member for a while, but I haven't posted recently.

I'm trying to remember the name of an old 1980s "mens" magazine. I recall it was very much like a Playboy competitor, and felt more like a "lifestyle" title. It was "classy," high-end, filled with articles, etc, but it contained selected nude, "tasteful" pictorials. I also recall the cover(s) was not indicative of any nude content within - I seem to recall some nebulous cover with a beach at sunset.

If I remember correctly, this magazine was "new" in the early 80s, and didn't last long- possibly only a few issues. I thought it might have been a spinoff publication by Penthouse or Hustler, but I can't verify that.

Anyhow, I've been racking my brain, but I simply can't remember the name. Any ideas would be appreciated

Wasn't "Executive" was it?

Unfortunately, no. I do appreciate your suggestion though.

It's something that's been nagging me for a while now. Just can't seem to remember what it is.

I thought about that one, too, but the magazine I'm thinking of had much tamer covers - you would almost mistake it for a lifestyle/mens magazine lol
