EDITORIAL NOTE
"Hey Scotty, what's it gonna be?
One gin and tonic sounds mighty, mighty good to me."
Oh, if life's decisions could still be so simple. But those words were inspired
by a simpler time, by simpler people with simple minds.
Now life is cruel and complicated. And the big city is unforgiving, thus explaining
why the "hard" appears to be back in hardcore video. Rough stuff is
the name of the game. Fuck plot, let's fuck.
And how did we get to where we are today? It's a long, long story. But we've got
the straight dope in The History of Porn, the first in a two-part series that
will expose some of the highlights and lowlights of an already overexposed biz.
Is she the new face of porn? A cum covered, noholes-barred, nothing's too wild
or too sleazy face? If you can read the writing on the wall, the answer would
have to be a resounding YES! Her name — Candy Apples. Check out her somewhat
shocking interview and read everything we could print without being arrested.
It's three days and nights of sex — CES, the convention to end all conventions.
But it doesn't end there. VW saves you a front row seat for the 15th annual AVN
awards — see what it's like to spend some time at a Night of a Thousand
Stars — porn stars that is.
Hey, want to know what really goes on backstage at some of the hottest rock shows?
You know bands like Chicago, Grand Funk and Tonto's Expanding Headband, well we
don't have the drop on them, but go undercover with Nero Coozma as he takes a
peek at Notorious' new Backstage Sluts series.
She's 4'11" and only 95 pounds, but she's taken on the world of "reality
porn." Go on the "set" with Marilyn Star and get ready for the
wildest ride of your gonzo life. Plus, oodles of reviews, Top Ten, amateur reports
and much, much more.
Baring any self-inflicted fatality, I'll see you next ish.

About Swank Confidential
Swank is an adult or pornographic magazine published in the United States. The first incarnation was launched by Victor Fox of Fox Comics in 1941 (and again in 1945) as a men's lifestyle and pin-up magazine in the style of Esquire. Around 1954–1955, it was relaunched by Martin Goodman, the founder of Marvel Comics, and ran spicy adventure or suspense fiction by the likes of Ian Fleming, Graham Greene, Norman Mailer and Arthur C. Clarke. Humorist Bruce Jay Friedman was an editor in the late 1950s.
Along with its sister title, Stag, the magazine was bought by the Magna Publishing Group in 1993. Following that acquisition, the format of Swank changed to include hardcore sex, such as the use of sex toys, lesbian sex, and sexual intercourse between men and women. There are also a series of DVDs and an official website produced under the Swank name. Magna Publishing Group was bought by 1-800-PHONESEX in 2015.
According to its current owner, Magna Publishing Group, Swank has been established for "well over 65 years". A men's lifestyle title called Swank was launched in the early 1940s, by Victor Fox. In a 2002 article for The New York Times, Matthew Flamm wrote of the magazine's genesis: "[Swank] can even draw a line to the same pulp publishing outfit – Martin Goodman's Magazine Management Company – that in 1939 started the comic book publisher that eventually became Marvel Comics, and that in the 1950s and 1960s employed future novelists like Mario Puzo and Bruce Jay Friedman as writers and editors." Beat poet John Fles also wrote for the magazine. In keeping with its connection to Magazine Management, in the early 1970s Swank ran a three-page comics section that was created by Vaughn Bodē, and continued by Bernie Wrightson and then Jeff Jones.
During its first two decades of operation, Swank had breaks in publication lasting up to several years. The original format was similar to that of the popular men's title Esquire. Magazine archivist Phil Stephensen-Payne gives the date of the first issue as August 1941 and suggests that, after perhaps seven issues, the publication folded and then relaunched in August 1945. Humphrey Bogart, Oscar Levant and Earl Wilson were among the guest contributors over this period.
A later incarnation celebrated its 20th birthday on the cover of the October 1977 issue. By that time, the content included music-related feature articles by journalist and author Michael Gross.
The Magna Publishing Group bought Swank, along with titles including Stag magazine, in 1993. The previous owner was Charles "Chip" Goodman, the son of Martin Goodman. At the time of the purchase, the company was known as Swank Publications and was part of the GCR Publishing Group, which also published non-pornographic magazines such as New Body and Victorian Accents.
