About Whitehouse Digest
Whitehouse magazine, also known as Whitehouse International, was a British pornographic magazine originally published by David Sullivan, and later sold to Gold Star Publications. It was first published in 1974. Billed as "The International Quality Glamour Magazine", it was substantially more explicit than its predecessors, showing uncensored images of genitalia.
Although reputed to have been named after anti-pornography campaigner Mary Whitehouse, the magazine contained a disclaimer saying that its name had nothing to do with her. The model Mary Millington made numerous appearances in the magazine.
Although Whitehouse was one of Sullivan's most successful magazines, sales fell over the years. As of 2001, sales had declined to around £250,000 per year. Publication ceased in 2008.
The industrial music band Whitehouse are named after the magazine.
About the Publisher, Whitehouse
It is suggested that Whitehouse magazine was named after the surname of Mary Whitehouse who was an avid complainer of the drop in British moral values through the 1970s. It wasn't just the magazines that she complained about. The mainstream TV broadcasters felt her wrath with shows such as 'Till Death Us Do Part'.
