Peter Wolff was the brains behind Cheri magazine. God knows, he had the experience and the track record. As part of his deal with any publisher, he always insisted on a tab at a convenient bar, with his own table. He was a compulsive gambler and four-pack-a-day smoker.
His office was littered with betting stubs, cigarette butts, take-out food, random slides, and manuscripts. His t-shirts and jeans were stained, and his long gray hair was often unwashed: he was fat and not particularly handsome. And yet he managed to have sex with most of the models, through his immense charm and intelligence.
He never believed a publisher could fire him, but eventually the drinking, the arrogance, plus spending tons and tons of money, would always be too much for them. But to view Wolff as purely an adult magazine veteran is to underestimate and undervalue him. He became involved in the world of counter-cultural publications in the late s, before becoming involved in erotic magazines. But Wolff differed from the vision of porn magnates like Hugh Hefner and Bob Guccione in that he had little time for the fantasy world of the beautiful people.
He was fascinated in the sexual interests of common men — and their wives. He wanted to democratize the content and involve the readers directly in the magazines he produced. In early , Carl Ruderman needed a figurehead to divert attention from his position as publisher. And not just any female — he wanted a glamorous woman already associated with the New York sex scene.
Appointing Bree Anthony proved a smart idea — and selecting her eventual successor, adult film actress Gloria Leonard , an even smarter one. Wolff was fired by Ruderman after the first two issues, May and June , but soon found a home at Cheri, the magazine that would prove to be his most lasting success.
August Vol 1, No. The first issue of Cheri came out in August — with a typically over-the-top announcement by Peter Wolff that mirrored a similarly hyperbolic introduction he had written when he launched High Society just three months earlier:. A star-spangled, Yankee-doodling dingdong of a magazine!
A motherfucker of a book! Bid farewell to commercialized cunt-mongering. Their writing would ostensibly be a form of gonzo journalism, but would include enough titillating sexual detail to appeal to the raincoat crowd.
Other columnists were less well-known but equally colorful. In the first few months, the photo spreads were often generic picture sets acquired from agencies, but photographer Peter Hurd contributed a pictorial of Annie Sprinkle accompanied by an interview of the adult film star conducted by Wolff. When he had been at Gallery magazine, Wolff had held an amateur photo contest that had drawn a huge response — and which had got him fired.
But you will have to take my word for that. It is frightening that there are still people out there who want to have this fight, and that others are willing to support them without even being aware of their positions. Thank you for taking the time to provide the references. These aren't simply "accusations" Lacey, they are fact. I thought everyone knew these squeaky-clean religious-appearing goodie-two-shoes-image guys have always been against nudity on the web. Stop burying your heads in the sand folks.
Get informed. Read and learn about the positions these guys present. Yes, because you should always unquestioningly believe everything the media reports as complete unaltered fact with absolutely no slant or underlying agenda.
I swear I've seen most of these under Al Bundy's arm at one time or another. And the fight against porn is just a fake fight designed to whip of a frenzy by people who are desperate for followers. Porn is not a majority of the content of the internet. It might have been at the start, just like porn was with VHS videos. But not anymore. Now a days, with flicker, youtube, facebook, twitter, blogs etc, porn is a tiny minority.
So its not any issue any more. But the puritans want to have something to rail against so will bandy about made up figures that make it sound like porn is a major problem. Whenever you see stats from any campaigning group be suspicious, very suspicious, as they are always without fail, made up and twisted. Playing Pictures of Lily by The Who now - woo woo woo woo woo!
