EDITORIAL NOTE
SWANK TALK
When I started working part-time at SWANK's phone sex hotline, I'd never dreamed I would ever become a centerfold—especially in such an exciting issue! I just can't believe it! It's like losing my cherry all over again!
To kick things off, the gang here has corralled porn's newest blond beauty, Rebecca Rage, to pose for an explosive photo set that proves that blondes can have more fun! Next up, in the fantasy-come-true department, sumptuous Tracy Adams gives a tongue tutorial to a lucky student in Groaning Pains. Plus, if you're in the mood for more exotic erotica, Kieko, an awesome import from the Land of the Rising Sun, is sure to get a rise out of you!
When you're near a phone, remember to Dial "D" For Desire. Yes, if you haven't guessed already, this is my pictorial, and it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself (which I don't, really—everyone else thinks it looks great, too). In Lust In The Afternoon, you'll catch a hot couple engaging in a little spontaneous sexual combustion. Later on, Carolina will amuse you with a shirt-shredding striptease and a pair of bi beauties get involved in some Double Trouble. But that's not all, folks!
For anyone who's taken a walk on the wild side—or would just like to—The Book Of Lust is must reading. This anonymous diary just showed up in the mail one day, and they're still trying to figure out where it came from. One thing is for sure—this is hot stuff!
For some rough-and-ready action, don't miss Off Road Racing, a thrill-packed photo essay about the perils and rewards of this stimulating and challenging sport.
If you've ever wanted to just grab a girl and do it in the road, take a peek at Why Don't We Do It On The Beach?, an in-depth investigation of kinky couples who like to get down and dirty in public. And speaking of sexual show-offs, our X-Rated Screening Room takes a luscious look at some of the lewdest ladies in porn: Amber Lynn, Lois Ayres and Penny Morgan.
It was a lot of fun helping these guys pull together such a sizzling issue, and I know you'll have as much fun reading it! But I've got to run—the phone's ringing and I can't wait to answer it!

Swank is a pornographic magazine for heterosexual men published in the United States. It includes 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.

The Magna Publishing Group bought Swank along with dozens of other pornographic titles, including Stag, in 1993 from Charles "Chip" Goodman, the son of Martin Goodman, founder of Marvel Comics. According to the New York Times, Stag and 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 1950’s and 1960’s employed future novelists like Mario Puzo and Bruce Jay Friedman as writers and editors.”

At the time Magna purchased the magazines from Goodman, the company was known as Swank Publications, and was a part of the GCR Publishing Group, which also published non-pornographic magazines, including such titles as New Body and Victorian Accents.

The Magna Publishing Group's website includes the claim that Swank has been established for "well over 65 years." A magazine called "Swank" was founded by Fox Features Comics founder Victor Fox in the 1940s. This early version of the magazine was a knockoff of Esquire, but eventually evolved to its current format. The magazine has had breaks in publication of several years during its history, so the "over 65 years" claim may be disputed by some media historians.
