History

The first known publication devoted exclusively to minor-attraction was the scholary journal International Journal of Greek Love, edited in the USA between January 1965 and November 1966 by the famous numismatist Walter Breen.[2] According to the blurb inside the journal, IJGL was a "quarterly devoted to literary, historical, sociological, psychological and related studies centered around the phenomenon of Greek love, defined as the love between man and adolescent boy." Despite its small circulation, the IJGL managed to have a considerable impact on gay and lesbian scholarship. As expected, the best researched articles are those that have been most quoted. Jonathan Drake's article on boy prostitution in Turkey[3] remains one of the most cited sources for homosexuality in this country, while Hammond's article on Paidikion,[4] an anonymous 570 page pederasty manuscript ostensibly written by Kenneth Searight c. 1917,[5] and Bradley's survey of lesbian "Greek Love",[6] are two other contributions that have been discussed.

Between the late 1970s and early 1980s, in countries like Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United States, taking advantage of a loophole that allowed the distribution of Child Pornography, were published some legal child porn magazines as such Lolita,[7] Piccolo, Boy and others.[8] In some cases, commercial producers such as Color Climax Corporation took over its distribution.[9] In the US were produced magazines such as Nudist Moppets, which showed naked children three to twelve, and Lollitots, which showed naked girls eight to fourteen years old. The USA made illegal in 1977 using children for pornography, however, some of those magazines had never involved any kind of sex act in the first place. Commercial child pornography ceased in Denmark in 1980 when Danish laws against it were passed.[10] The last child pornography magazines out of the Netherlands appeared in 1982.

In 1979 appeared the first issue of PAN: A Magazine About Boy-Love,[11] an international non-pornographic magazine about boylove published in English in Amsterdam by Spartacus, containing articles, photos of boys and other content of interest for boylovers. In total, 21 issues were published until December 1985. Experts such as Frits Bernard and Edward Brongersma submitted contributions.

During the 1980s, in parallel with the newsletters of the various boylove and minor-attracted people's organizations, many magazines were published more or less connected with these movements, such as Palestra[12] (1985) or Gaie France (1986–1993), gay magazine close to the French New Right, founded by Michel Caignet. Also published, were a large number of photographic journals: Backside[13] (1983–1985), Beach Boys (1985–1986), Eklat (1985) and Photokid (1986).

In 1987, Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia was launched in the Netherlands - a scholarly journal, which took a positive scholarly approach towards the study of pedophilia (in the less age-bounded sense used by activists at the time).[14] From the beginning, Paidika was different from other pedophilia-related publications. It had a professional layout and an impressive editorial board which reviewed the submissions to the journal. During its nine years of publication, Paidika managed to remain faithful to Bullough's (1990, 320)[14] observation and publish a great number of well researched scholarly articles. D.H. Mader's study of pederasty in the Bible[15] and Robert Bauserman's cross-cultural study of boylove[16] are two much quoted pieces. Moreover, what we know about pedophiles like Karol Szymanowski[17] and Jacques d'Adelsward-Fersen[18] are through articles published in Paidika. The journal was sometimes attacked and discredited as a "pedophile magazine".[19] The fact that it had an activist aspect allowed many people to downplay the importance of research published in the journal. Bullough and others were attacked for being in its editorial board, while "Dr" Laura Schlessinger and others tried to discredit academics that have published or given interviews in Paidika, like Bruce Rind, Robert Bauserman and Ralph Underwager.[20][21][22]

In 1993, the Amikejo Foundation of Netherlands published the first issue of Koinos, a bilingual magazine in English and German about the beauty of male adolescents. It contains articles on art and politics, academic essays,[23][24] interviews, reviews of books and films, stories and photos of boys, with contributions from several professional photographers. Its name refers to the Koine Greek, the common standard dialect used during the Hellenistic period. It was published every four months and could be purchased through international order and a limited number of distributors in the Netherlands and Germany.

Between 2006 and 2010, the Swede Karl Andersson edited Destroyer, a gay magazine focused exclusively on boys and younger men.[25] The magazine, containing features, photos, essays, interviews, reviews, columns, culture articles and fiction, was printed and officially published in the Czech Republic, but distributed globally through its website. It has received a lot of criticism from the media and child-protection professionals for allegedly "sexualising" children,[26] but Andersson has been quick to defend his publication and gives interviews to argue against his critics.

This is far from an exhaustive list, and is biased towards English-language publications. See, for example, Frits Bernard's list of publications in 1985, mentioned in our external links at the foot of the page.

Contact!

According to "Alcibiades", a former PIE member, this was a cheaply produced A5 newsletter for PIE which consisted entirely of members’ letters. After the 1981 PIE trial had rendered it illegal for rank & file members to communicate directly by post, this was the only means to enable them to hear one another’s voices prior to the advent of internet bulletin boards. Published from 1982/83, Contact! 6 resulted in the second PIE trial, of editor Steven Freeman and two committee colleagues, Roger Nash and David Joy, on charges of “incitement” to illegal sexual activities with children – it had contained a letter examining the question of intercourse. Nash and Joy (neither of whom were connected with the editing of that paper) were imprisoned in 1984. Steven Freeman left the UK prior to the trial to seek political asylum in Holland, but six years later was deported back to the UK and stood trial in 1991. He, too, was imprisoned, for “publishing an obscene article”. PIE wound up shortly after the 1984 trial, its committee too demoralized to continue.

Online Activism

Uncommon Sense

Activist webmagazine affiliated with Newgon, and coinciding with the early second-wave of the MAP Movement. Short-lived, but preceded and succeeded by a team blog of the same name.

Modern online Pedophile/Hebephile magazines

Modern online magazines tend to cater to MAPs with a low pedohebephilic AoA. This is thought to be because various "teen" publications such as XY Magazine, instagram accounts and popular culture outlets more effectively cater to high hebephilic AoAs, or are covertly designed with hebephilic MAPs in mind. In rough, reverse chronological order:

We Are Child Love

Proposed gender-neutral pedophile-oriented magazine mirroring the style of Alice Lovers. We are likely to be able to archive this magazine once it is published.

Ethos Magazine

Currently in publication. Pedohebephile-focused boy content and serious features.

Alice Lovers and True Innocence Magazines

Girllove magazine covered in our article on its parent, Visions of Alice (archives available).

Modern Boylover Magazine (Boylover.net)

Boylover.net was known to publish a magazine, which went on after its closure, and is now archived:

Fresh Petals

Defunct. Said by Thomas O'Carroll to be an online girllove magazine of the late 90s and early 00s, not much information exists about it.

Photographic/Erotica/Nudist Print Magazines (not currently published)

Little is known (or, perhaps shared) about these titles from the 1960s and 70s, however many such publications were circulated, featuring both boys and girls. Within Scandinavia in particular, they were said to operate openly and on a commercial scale, prior to Child Pornography legislation. Color Climax Corporation produced legal youth erotica in this era. Inside the pages of child porn magazines sold in the seventies and eighties at sex shops you could find the publishing company address and contact phone number as well as a copyright notice. Due to the small number of printed issues, it is believed that there wasn't a huge demand for them.
