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?

I used to read Minx too limited!

I also remember position of the fortnight in More but don’t remember willy of the week!

Not just you! I bought a copy when I was 19, and put one of the posters up on my wall. I had to pin a playing card over the crotch area, because my flatmate was very prim and she had a massive fit over it, even though we had single rooms and she actually had to come into my room to see it.

I don't think For Women lasted long, but it had some very, um, nice stories.

No, neither of you are imagining it. Early 90s as I remember, it was meant to be a sort of Playboy for women. I think I bought the first couple of issues but it was all very samey. I don't think women get have the same instant arousal to a naked man, however attractive, that men get to naked women.

Plus, the photos were subject to the Mull of Kintyre rule https://www.yourdictionary.com/mull-of-kintyre-rule so it was all a bit of let down really.

Does anyone remember that other magazine, it didn't run for long, it came out every 2 weeks and it actually had actual content, it had current affairs, a focus piece in each issue - I remember one of the first was about FGM and it had a small bit of beauty and a tv guide, (maybe it was weekly then), but its the only magazine I've known of for a very long time that might give what I'd want to read about and it folded fairly quickly unfortunately.

I can't think of that it was called though. I did email the publishers once to see if they'd ever consider anythgin like it again but got fobbed off. When pretty every magazine is about celebrities (heat/closer etc) or just one big advert (glamour) there isn't much I want to spend my money on.

Would have been early 2000's.

Was it Grazia @ImSweetEnoughDarlin ?

I remember position of the week but don't remember Willy of the week 😂

No, thats still going isn't it?

I think it was called First but I can't find anything online about it.

It was!

I definitely remember a magazine aimed at that age which had a two page spread of different willies. I was 👀. Might have been a one off rather than a regular feature.

And it was in 1993 as I had the magazine in my work locker and my locker got searched and I had the magazine folded open on that page! 🙈😂

It was Sky magazine! They used to have them dressed up as different characters too.

As a student I recall looking round a prospective house share where the girls had papered pretty much the entire living room in torn-out Position Of The Fortnight pages! Can't deny I was rather intrigued but ended up living somewhere else.

As a bloke though what rather bugged me about More was that it seemed to almost celebrate laddish and rather shallow blokes at times - as in "they're a bit thick and often think with their dicks but ya got to love 'em anyway". That might have just been my rather skewed perception, though!

Yes I rember I was about 11(no one stopped what you got in those days)😂 I rember they used to do a yearly thing I’m sure about men. Anyway one magazine I bought had wee booklet inside of different willys) I found it intersting😂 asked my aunt about who was quick enough to tell on me to my mum. ooh the mental scars from that day😂 but how until so many real willys in a booklet from before there was enough on internet; good ways to being curious at that time

oh my god, I remember that 🤣

I remember this!

I loved reading those magazines when I was about 13-16! All I can think of was what an absolute riot it must have been to work for them in their golden age of position of week etc!

Haha I remember that one!

I think they were trying to make sex fun and break down any shame or embarrassment, but wish they’d also explained there are only really 3 positions!! 😂

some of the advice was also BS - I remember one position was sex in the shower. They said that water was a great lubricant….anyone who has ever had sex knows that water isn’t a lubricant - it washes it away!

Was that the one that had Ainsley Harriott with strategically positioned grapes or was that a different issue?

I’m clearly scarred by it all!
