New women's sex magazine launches

Added : ( Sun Aug 15 2004 )

Looking for a stylish, sassy and sexy read? Then you need Scarlet magazine.

Scarlet hits the news-stands in mid-October. It's designed for intelligent women, who are sexually confident, but know that there's always something new to learn. Open and frank, it’s the way that women speak to each other when men aren’t around.

Attitudes towards female sexuality have changed massively in recent years. Ann Summers sold over a million vibrators last year, and Black Lace has sold over three million erotic books. Fifteen per cent of internet porn users are women. And no-one can doubt the impact of Sex and the City. It's obvious that women love sex just as much as men do - so Scarlet is there to help them satisfy their urges.

Publisher, Gavin Griffiths is no stranger to sex magazines. Previously running the Erotic Review, he saw a gap in the market for a young and funky sex title for women:

"I realised that there was no mainstream publication catering for sexually adventurous women. I started chatting to Emily Dubberley, veteran of the female sex market, and it rapidly became clear that we could put together a magazine unlike any others currently out there, and offer women what they really want."

Research shows that women want sex content that combines fantasy with advice, gorgeous men with interactivity – and Scarlet fulfils all these criteria. It has hot stories designed to help women get off. It's got no-nonsense sex features with a real woman's sense of humour, and the best sex writers around today; Emily Dubberley, founder of cliterati.co.uk, Lovers' Guide scriptwriter and author of 'Brief Encounters: The Essential Guide to Casual Sex' and 'Things a woman should know about seduction'; Sarah Hedley, Sex Editor of Cosmopolitan; Flic Everett, Agony Aunt for Company and author of 'Sex tips for Girls'; Dr Pam Spurr, sex editor of the Sunday People and LBC radio presenter; Helen Knox, contraceptive and sexual health specialist and founder of http://www.sexplained.com, and Rachel Kramer Bussel, Playgirl journalist and erotic author, whose work has been published in over 40 anthologies.

And it's not just sex. Scarlet also features some of the hottest writers around today; Mil Millington, Guardian columnist and author of Things my girlfriend and I have argued about; Lou Wener, ex rock star and author of 'The Big Blind; Jane Wenham Jones, author of 'Perfect Alibi' and 'Raising the Roof', and Paul Carr Guardian journalist and founder of the London News Review.

Readers will also have a chance to get involved in the magazine, with opportunities for them to get their writing, photography and art out to a wider audience.

With inspirational and groundbreaking design by leading multimedia design agency M2 (http://www.mtwo.co.uk) and sensual photography by Nahid de Belgeonne (http://www.sauce-goddess.co.uk) Scarlet is a visually tempting treat, as thrilling to look at as it is to read.

So set your inner Scarlet Woman free; you have nothing to lose but your inhibitions.
