WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRINT VERSION? ARE YOU GOING OUT OF BUSINESS?

    The print version will be no more after the Fall 2000 issue (published October 2000). Why? Printing is very expensive for a little erotica magazine. We can reach more people with more exciting content by publishing on the web. We have very big plans for this site as well as videos and other special projects. We'll be able to bring you much more varied content, up-to-the-minute information and events and special features like travel and erotic destinations. Keep watching libidomag.com to keep up with everything. So, no, we're not going out of business... quite the opposite!

WHAT IS LIBIDO?

For one, it's a journal about sex that's geared to turn on your mind and your body. It's a web site (formerly a magazine) for women and men who read and think.

SO WHAT IS IT, SOME NEW MAGAZINE ABOUT SEX?

Not at all. LIBIDO has been around since 1988 and garnered readers from all over the United States, Canada, and Europe. Its publishers, Marianna Beck and Jack Hafferkamp, set out to create a magazine that looked at sex as something healthy, celebratory and fun and that would be a turn-on for both women and men, separately or together.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?

Well, what other magazine can you think of that is sex-positive, gender-equal, and all embracing in terms of sexual orientation? LIBIDO is a magazine that's both intellectually demanding as well as stimulating.

WHAT IS IN LIBIDO?

Quite plainly, some of the best photography as well as best-written erotica published in the U.S. It also includes essays, news, poetry and anything else that has to do with sex sensibility.

SO WHO REALLY READS LIBIDO?

Intelligent, open-minded people who are interested in sex. That includes, straights, gays, bisexuals. Even lawyers.

WHAT'S LIBIDO'S POSITION REGARDING WOMEN AND PORNOGRAPHY?

The publishers believe that sexism, not sex, degrades women. Furthermore, any adult should be free to read about sex and view sexual images without repercussions from other feminist thought-police. While the publishers would agree that there are plenty of images out there in the world that are misogynistic and exploitative, many are not. To lump all sexual images together as degrading to women implies that women do not enjoy sex, that they don't engage in it of their own volition, and that something pleasurable to men must necessarily be repugnant to women. That attitude is not only patronizing to women but also puritanical and sex-negative.
