Club is a monthly American pornographic magazine which is a spin-off publication of the United Kingdom's Club International. Club features sexually oriented articles, video reviews, and pictorials that include hardcore pornography, masturbation, dildo usage, and lesbian sex. Canada had stricter pornography laws in the eighties and nineties and the Canadian market was lucrative enough that Club started making a special version of the magazine solely for the Canadian market during these decades. During the early and mid 1990s the magazine featured softcore and simulated sex pictorials and had at least two contract models that appeared monthly (Charmaine Sinclair and Jo Guest). Club and its UK sister publication, Club International, are the flagship publications for Paul Raymond Publications which distributes eight of the ten top selling adult magazines in the UK. When Paragon Publishing, the U.S. franchisee of Club, filed for bankruptcy the publishing was taken over by Paul Raymond Publications. In August 2009, Magna Publishing Group purchased Club magazine and its sister publications from Club Media Inc., increasing the total number of titles it publishes to over sixty. The deal also included sister publications Club International, Club Confidential, and Best of Club. Magna Publishing Group also produces such established men's magazine titles such as Swank, Genesis, Fox, Gallery, Velvet, and Gent. In December 2015 Magna Publishing Group was purchased by 1-800-PHONESEX.

Paul Raymond (November 15, 1925 to March 2, 2008), born Geoffrey Anthony Quinn, was an English publisher, club owner, and property developer. After opening the UK's first strip club, Raymond became very wealthy, buying property on a large scale and launched Paul Raymond Publications with the soft-porn magazine Men Only, soon followed by Escort, Club International, Mayfair and many other titles. He was starting to hand over control to his daughter Debbie when she died of a heroin overdose in 1992, after which he became a recluse.
