Club International is a monthly British adult magazine published by Paul Raymond Publications that features softcore pictures of nude women. It is a sister magazine of the American magazine Club.

History and profile

Club International was founded in 1972 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.

Club International is published by Paul Raymond Publications, which publishes eight of the UK's ten top adult magazines. Along with Mayfair magazine, Club International is considered one of Raymond's most upmarket top shelf productions, with the photo spreads generally featuring more glamorous photosets shot by experienced photographers. It has, however, featured a number of well-known models and pornstars, such as Lexi Lowe, Tanya Tate, Monica Sweet, Zsanett Égerházi, Sandra Shine, Peaches, Silvia Saint, Stephanie Swift, and popular Hungarian model Sophie Moone (often credited as 'Stella'). Also among the women featured is the "Reader's Girlfriend", presented as an amateur model who is the girlfriend of a Club International reader.

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, there are the regular automotive features, editorials, video and book reviews, as well as a jokes page. Starting in 2008, a free DVD has been included with every issue.

Online edition

Club International is also sold in digital format. Initially this was via the Paul Raymond digital newsstand from 2013 until that website closed. Subsequently it has been available digitally from the publisher's main website.
