Private is a pornographic magazine published by the Private Media Group since 1965 .
The magazine was founded by the Swedish photographer Berth Milton Sr. , who initially enclosed his pornographic photographs with erotic booklets that he sold in his bookstore in Stockholm . He still sold the first issues of his magazine himself at magazine kiosks, as there was no distribution for such magazines. After the decision of Memoirs v. Massachusetts of the United States Supreme Court in 1966 first questioned the prohibition of pornography . The magazine, which had been sold under the counter in the United States until then, has now been sold openly and is considered to be the first legally distributed pornographic magazine from its ninth issue. Since the mid-1980s, Private has been published in Barcelona , Spain, which was the second largest market for pornographic products after Germany. The magazine grew to become the best-selling pornographic magazine in the world before it lost its importance in the course of the digitization of pornography in the 1990s. The Private Media Group was taken over in 1991 by Berth Milton Jr. , who added web offers to the portfolio, expanded video production and successfully floated the company. Private magazine, which forms the cornerstone of the company, is continued to this day.
The art publisher Taschen published two collections, each in five volumes, in which photographic works by Private from the 1970s and 1980s are presented.
