Color Climax Corporation - Magazines

Magazines

CCC was also known for its magazine series with titles such as Color Climax and Rodox. In their day these were regarded as some of the best quality pornographic magazines in Europe. This was the case particularly in the UK, where prior to the year 2000 the sale of hardcore porn was illegal. Before this date some British sex shops sold softcore British magazines in plastic packaging, with a Rodox or Color Climax front cover on the outside. The same shops sometimes sold watered-down reproductions of CCC titles, with any hardcore images removed. CCC magazines presented a wide variety of European and American stars. Photo-sets typically began with the models fully clothed, and ended with an image of male ejaculation, a storyline shared with other Danish magazines of the period such as Fucking and Con Amore. Many of those photos are still available today via the Color Climax website and also circulate widely (though in violation of copyright) around the Internet via file-sharing networks and other sources. Still photographs from the Lolita film series were also published in Color Climax magazines. By 2006 the company had published over 3,000 different books and magazines with a total of over 140 million editions; 8.5 million films, and almost a million video cassettes.
