However, in the 1970s, there was a burst of new erotic magazines challenging the male status quo.įor example, Suck: The First European Sex Paper was a London-based underground porn magazine celebrating free love and the LGBTQ+ community. To begin with, Joyce's magazine Minx is not real. Newsweek has everything you need to know about the true story behind the hilarious new series. Prepare yourself for a whole load of genitalia (equally male and female), and a whole load of education on women's rights, sexuality, and second-wave feminism in HBO Max's Minx. The 10-part series follows the tale of feminist Joyce (played by Ophelia Lovibond) who teams up with adult-magazine publisher and producer Doug (Jake Johnson), to create the first female erotic magazine.
Minx on HBO is the brand new workplace comedy-drama with a side of feminism, pornography, and eroticism all in one.
