Whitehouse magazine, also known as Whitehouse International, was a British pornographic magazine originally published by David Sullivan, and later sold to Gold Star Publications. It was first published in 1974.[1] Billed as "The International Quality Glamour Magazine", it was substantially more explicit than its predecessors, showing uncensored images of genitalia.
Although reputed to have been named after anti-pornography campaigner Mary Whitehouse,[2] [3] the magazine contained a disclaimer saying that its name had nothing to do with her.[4] The model Mary Millington made numerous appearances in the magazine.[5]
Although Whitehouse was one of Sullivan's most successful magazines, sales fell over the years. As of 2001, sales had declined to around £250,000 per year.[6] Publication ceased in 2008.[7]
The industrial music band Whitehouse are named after the magazine.[8]
