## History and profile

*Club International* was founded in 1972[1][2][3] and is published every four weeks, making thirteen issues per year. Each edition consists of one hundred printed pages and is staple-bound, with the exception of the slightly larger "special edition", published at the start of each new volume, which has some 120 pages and flat glued binding.[Template:Citation needed](/mw/index.php?title=Template:Citation_needed&action=edit&redlink=1)

*Club International* is published by [Paul Raymond Publications](/mw/index.php?title=Paul_Raymond_Publications&action=edit&redlink=1), which, according to a 2001 report, published eight of the UK's ten top adult magazines.[4] Along with *[Mayfair](/mw/index.php?title=Mayfair_(magazine)&action=edit&redlink=1)* magazine, *Club International* is considered one of Raymond's most [upmarket](/mw/index.php?title=Upmarket&action=edit&redlink=1) top shelf productions, with the photo spreads generally featuring more glamorous photosets shot by experienced photographers.[1]

## Content

Each edition of *Club International* features ten photosets, with the exception of the slightly larger "special edition" which features between twelve and thirteen sets. The photosets are usually single-model shoots but there are also [lesbian](/mw/index.php?title=Lesbian&action=edit&redlink=1) scenes. The shoots are generally [softcore](/mw/index.php?title=Softcore_pornography&action=edit&redlink=1), and as such do not feature any sort of penetration or oral-genital contact. However, some photoshoots feature the occasional "pink" shot, where a model exposes her vaginal lips. During the early to mid-1980s, a regular feature was "Club Event", a picture sequence involving a group of models (usually about half a dozen) performing a form of striptease around a central theme such as a Christmas party, or while wearing (and removing) various types of uniforms.[Template:Citation needed](/mw/index.php?title=Template:Citation_needed&action=edit&redlink=1)

### Models

The magazine once offered the British TV newsreader [Anna Ford](/mw/index.php?title=Anna_Ford&action=edit&redlink=1) a fee of £75,000 to appear naked in its pages, but she declined.[5] It has, however, featured a number of well-known models and [pornstars](/mw/index.php?title=Pornographic_actor&action=edit&redlink=1), such as Lexi Lowe, [Tanya Tate](/mw/index.php?title=Tanya_Tate&action=edit&redlink=1), Monica Sweet, Zsanett Égerházi, Sandra Shine, Peaches, [Silvia Saint](/mw/index.php?title=Silvia_Saint&action=edit&redlink=1), Stephanie Swift, and Hungarian model Sophie Moone (often credited as 'Stella').[Template:Citation needed](/mw/index.php?title=Template:Citation_needed&action=edit&redlink=1) Also among the women featured is the "Reader's Girlfriend", presented as an amateur model who is the girlfriend of a *Club International* reader.[Template:Citation needed](/mw/index.php?title=Template:Citation_needed&action=edit&redlink=1)

### Features

Long-running features in *Club International* include its regular readers' letters page, "Talkin' Blue", where 'readers' share tales of their sexual experiences, and "Peaches", a feature that covers anal sex (although the writing is far more explicit than the images that accompany the feature). As with a number of similar [men's magazines](/mw/index.php?title=List_of_men%27s_magazines&action=edit&redlink=1), there are the regular automotive features, editorials, video and book reviews, as well as a jokes page. Starting in 2008, a free [DVD](/mw/index.php?title=DVD&action=edit&redlink=1) has been included with every issue.[6]

### Online edition

*Club International* is also sold in digital format. Initially this was via the Paul Raymond [digital newsstand](/mw/index.php?title=Digital_newsstand&action=edit&redlink=1) from 2013 until that website closed. Subsequently it has been available digitally from the publisher's main website.[7]
