Reply to comment by enderandrew42 in TIL about "The Pearl": An underground pornographic magazine issued monthly between 1879 and 1880. Its contents were three serial erotic tales simultaneously, devoted to sex in high society, incest, and flagellation. It was shut down by the British authorities for violating standards of obscenity. by DasherPack

Penthouse mag too, iirc. Then Hustler arrived on the scene and it was all about the wanking from there on out.

Penthouse seemed to straddle the line with journalism but more nudes, more explicit nudes and "Penthouse Letters". Hustler leaned fully into porn and taboo humor.
