I used to enjoy reading them, seeing my movie reviews and reportage from various sets and looking at the photo sets too. It's amazing how things have changed and how many of the publishers have gone out of business or been acquired by one of the few remaining mag publishers.
I recently cleaned out my garage and organized some of my archives and found some of the lesser adult mags like "Teenz" that I used to contribute photo sets to back in the day- on 35mm slide film, mind you. I sure don't miss slides and film processing and those damn plastic slide holders.

Magna also bought Montcalm Publishing which published Gallery, Fox, Lollipops etc plus mainstream mags like Twilight Zone out of bankruptcy. They're running them all on the cheap - they have to, the sales numbers on most adult mags are very low. I think Hustler and Barely Legal still sell substantial numbers.
I remember reading skin mags in the 80's too - they were good, the porn industry was more interesting in those days, the Internet has allowed the public to see behind the curtain too much.
