More Magazine- willy of the week?

[AlisonHalligan]

Hmm, fellow Gen Xers, can you help? I have a vague memory of a magazine, possibly More, having a regular feature mocking an unusual looking penis. Seems unthinkable now but I'm pretty sure this actually happened rather than being some weird fever dream. Anyone remember?

Was she?! I’m 33 and remember her as ginger spice.

I remember one Position of the Week was basically like doing the wheelbarrow race on Sports Day, but with penetration. Ludicrous, and clearly humorous in retrospect, but we all took it very seriously and assumed that’s what sex was actually like.

The "wheelbarrow"'position was definitely a thing in the 90s, up there with missionary
and doggy in the teen perception of sex... Not that I've ever done it!

I’m another who remembers the good old wheelbarrow - including the little illustration of it 😂

I also remember the wheelbarrow, but I've never got round to doing it.

That's my Saturday night sorted 😁

(If I end up in a&e, I blaming all of you)

That was Mizz and JS had Hunk of the Month who were people who looked like Brian Tilsley from Coronation Street

I remembercall someone bringing a magazine into work that had full frontal nudes of one of the guys from Right Said Fred. It must've been, oh, over 20 years ago. It might have been More magazine because I'm sure it was dubbed More sex. I remember somebody reviewing it saying something like 'why should women get turned on by pictures of men who aren't'.

I don't remember Willy of the Week and I'm pretty sure I would.
I've progressed from Oh Boy, Jackie, Just 17 through to Mizz. I also used to look at the lads mags like FM and no recall

It sounds more like a piss take from Viz. I can still recall a special (Valentines issue) with a cut out DIY sanitary towel!

It was NewWoman magazine- I loved it (the magazine not the misshapen willies). Was sad when it went defunct.

Ps. The photo was smaller than a postage stamp hidden among masses of text!

😂

Thank you! I had completely forgotten about it.

More magazine was for millennials not genX.

It was launched in 1988. I can assure you Gen Xers read it in our teens!

I remember the wheelbarrow, never did it, although did work at b &q

Oh yes More magazine!

How me and my friends laughed

Position of the fortnight ha ha ha yes the wheelbarrow position WTAF?!

But no Willy of the week

Ah ha now reminiscing about Mizz magazine and Just Seventeen

Looking at the models in those magazines when I was 14/15/16 and feeling like a minger by comparison

But actually, looking back, I was lovely looking as a teenager but just couldn't see it myself (but def too short and not Mizz magazine model material)

Nope. I’m comfortably GenX and was reading More magazine when I was 14/15.

1988 - you're classed as a millennial..

She was presumably not reading More as a baby. She was a teen in the 80s, which means she was likely NOT a millennial. Millennials - by definition - were teens around d the millennium.

I vaguely remember Willy of the week - it was an illustration or am I totally misremembering?
It was all about wonky willys and buttons? A propaganda campaign to get us to accept any old weird looking thing (us women/girls had to look perfect though)

I would hope not!

But you're incorrect about the dates. Millennials defined as those born between 1981 and 1996.
Gen Z both between 1997 and 2012.

… people born in those years would be teens around the millennium. I was born in the mid millennials and I was a teen around the millennium. “Teen” was probably the wrong word, I meant more generally “coming of age” or growing up. Like, if I reminisce, it’s usually of the period around the millennium. Which is why I’m a millennial.

1982 here and was definitely reading More magazine at age 15

It sounds like you might have got your magazines mixed up

Ahhhh yes. Brian Tilsley 😂
