==History==
 
The first known publication devoted exclusively to minor-attraction was the scholary journal ''[[International Journal of Greek Love]]'', edited  in the USA between January 1965 and November 1966 by the famous numismatist [[Walter Breen]].<ref name="love">Norton, Rictor; Crew, Louie. "[https://web.archive.org/web/20160303171640/https://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/pubd/homophobicimagination.html The homophobic imagination: an editorial]". ''College English'', Vol. XXXVI, nr. 3 (November 1974), pp. 272-290.</ref> According to the blurb inside the journal, IJGL was a "quarterly devoted to literary, historical, sociological, psychological and related studies centered around the phenomenon of Greek love, defined as the love between man and adolescent boy." Despite its small circulation, the IJGL managed to have a considerable impact on gay and lesbian scholarship. As expected, the best researched articles are those that have been most quoted. Jonathan Drake's article on boy prostitution in Turkey<ref>Drake, Jonathan. "[http://www.williamapercy.com/wiki/images/Le_Vice.pdf 'Le Vice' in Turkey]". ''International Journal of Greek Love''. Oliver Layton Press, Vol. I, nr. 2 (November 1966), pp. 13-27</ref> remains one of the most cited sources for homosexuality in this country, while Hammond's article on ''[[Paidikion]]'',<ref>Hammond, Toby.

Between the late 1970s and early 1980s, in countries like Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United States, taking advantage of a loophole that allowed the distribution of [[Child Pornography]], were published some legal child porn magazines as such ''Lolita'',<ref>Howitt, Dennis; Kerry, Sheldon.

ISBN 0-8147-4263-7.</ref> In the US were produced magazines such as ''Nudist Moppets'', which showed naked children three to twelve, and ''Lollitots'', which showed naked girls eight to fourteen years old. The USA made illegal in 1977 using children for pornography, however, some of those magazines had never involved any kind of sex act in the first place. Commercial child pornography ceased in Denmark in 1980 when Danish laws against it were passed.<ref>[http://www.ipce.info/ipceweb/Library/califa_aftermath_text.htm The Aftermath of the Great Kiddy-Porn Panic of '77].</ref> The last child pornography magazines out of the Netherlands appeared in 1982.
 
In 1979 appeared the first issue of ''[[PAN|PAN: A Magazine About Boy-Love]]'',<ref>Califia, Pat. ''Public sex: The culture of radical sex''. Berkeley: Cleis Press, 1994.</ref> an international non-pornographic magazine about [[boylove]] published in English in Amsterdam by Spartacus, containing articles, photos of boys and other content of interest for boylovers. In total, 21 issues were published until December 1985. Experts such as [[Frits Bernard]] and [[Edward Brongersma]] submitted contributions.
 
During the 1980s, in parallel with the newsletters of the various boylove and minor-attracted people's organizations, many magazines were published more or less connected with these movements, such as ''Palestra''<ref name="palestra">Sommaire. ''Palestra'', 1985. (French)</ref> (1985) or ''Gaie France'' (1986–1993), gay magazine close to the French New Right, founded by [[Michel Caignet]]. Also published, were a large number of photographic journals: ''Backside''<ref name="back">Marceau, Willy. "Backside". ''Le Petit Gredin'', GRED, nr. 6, spring 1985. (French)</ref> (1983–1985),  ''Beach Boys'' (1985–1986), ''Eklat'' (1985) and ''Photokid'' (1986).
 
In 1987, ''[[Paidika]]: The Journal of Paedophilia'' was launched in the Netherlands - a scholarly journal, which took a positive scholarly approach towards the study of pedophilia (in the less age-bounded sense used by activists at the time).<ref name="paidika">Bullough, Vern L. "Review of Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia". ''Journal of Homosexuality'', Vol. XX, nr. 1/2, 1990, pp. 319-320.</ref> From the beginning, ''Paidika'' was different from other pedophilia-related publications. It had a professional layout and an impressive editorial board  which reviewed the submissions to the journal. During its nine years of publication, ''Paidika'' managed to remain faithful to [[Vern Bullough|Bullough]]'s (1990, 320)<ref name="paidika" /> observation and publish a great number of well researched scholarly articles. [[Donald Mader|D.H. Mader]]'s study of [[pederasty]] in the Bible<ref>Mader, Donald.

"Man-Boy Sexual Relationships in a Cross-Cultural Perspective". ''Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia, Vol. II, nr. 1, sommer 1989, pp. 28-40. ISSN:0167-5907.</ref> are two much quoted pieces. Moreover, what we know about pedophiles like [[Karol Szymanowski]]<ref>Kennedy, Hubert. "Karol Szymanowski: His Boy-Love Novel, and the Boy He Loved".

ISSN:0167-5907.</ref> are through articles published in ''Paidika''. The journal was sometimes attacked and discredited as a "pedophile magazine".<ref>Dallam, S. J. "Science or Propaganda? An Examination of Rind, Tromovitch and Bauserman". ''Journal of Child Sexual Abuse'', Vol. IX, nr. 3/4, 2002, pp. 109-134.</ref> The fact that it had an activist aspect allowed many people to downplay the importance of research published in the journal. Bullough and others were attacked for being in its editorial board, while "Dr" [[Laura Schlessinger]] and others tried to discredit academics that have published or given interviews in ''Paidika'', like [[Bruce Rind]], [[Robert Bauserman]] and [[Ralph Underwager]].<ref>Salter, Anna.

In 1993, the Amikejo Foundation of Netherlands published the first issue of ''[[Koinos]]'', a bilingual magazine in English and German about the beauty of male adolescents. It contains articles on art and politics, academic essays,<ref>[http://www.ipce.info/ipceweb/Library/00-013a_gos_koi_20_e.htm Radical Reconsideration of the Concept of Child Sexual Abuse].

Its name refers to the ''Koine Greek'', the common standard dialect used during the Hellenistic period. It was published every four months and could be purchased through international order and a limited number of distributors in the Netherlands and Germany.
 
Between 2006 and 2010, the Swede Karl Andersson edited ''[[Destroyer]]'', a gay magazine focused exclusively on boys and younger men.<ref name="destroyer">Andersson, Karl. ''Gay Man's Worst Friend - the Story of Destroyer Magazine''. Entartetes Leben, 2011. ISBN 91-633-6899-4.</ref> The magazine, containing features, photos, essays, interviews, reviews, columns, culture articles and fiction,  was printed and officially published in the Czech Republic, but distributed globally through its website. It has received a lot of criticism from the media and child-protection professionals for allegedly "sexualising" children,<ref>[http://su.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:198151 The Beautiful Boy, The Destroyer: Sexradikalers förhandlingar om tidskriften Destroyer – en intervjustudie om anständiga bögar, fula gubbar och sexualiserade barn].

History

The first known publication devoted exclusively to minor-attraction was the scholary journal International Journal of Greek Love, edited in the USA between January 1965 and November 1966 by the famous numismatist Walter Breen.[1] According to the blurb inside the journal, IJGL was a "quarterly devoted to literary, historical, sociological, psychological and related studies centered around the phenomenon of Greek love, defined as the love between man and adolescent boy." Despite its small circulation, the IJGL managed to have a considerable impact on gay and lesbian scholarship. As expected, the best researched articles are those that have been most quoted. Jonathan Drake's article on boy prostitution in Turkey[2] remains one of the most cited sources for homosexuality in this country, while Hammond's article on Paidikion,[3] an anonymous 570 page pederasty manuscript ostensibly written by Kenneth Searight c. 1917,[4] and Bradley's survey of lesbian "Greek Love",[5] are two other contributions that have been discussed.

Between the late 1970s and early 1980s, in countries like Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United States, taking advantage of a loophole that allowed the distribution of Child Pornography, were published some legal child porn magazines as such Lolita,[6] Piccolo, Boy and others.[7] In some cases, commercial producers such as Color Climax Corporation took over its distribution.[8] In the US were produced magazines such as Nudist Moppets, which showed naked children three to twelve, and Lollitots, which showed naked girls eight to fourteen years old. The USA made illegal in 1977 using children for pornography, however, some of those magazines had never involved any kind of sex act in the first place. Commercial child pornography ceased in Denmark in 1980 when Danish laws against it were passed.[9] The last child pornography magazines out of the Netherlands appeared in 1982.

In 1979 appeared the first issue of PAN: A Magazine About Boy-Love,[10] an international non-pornographic magazine about boylove published in English in Amsterdam by Spartacus, containing articles, photos of boys and other content of interest for boylovers. In total, 21 issues were published until December 1985. Experts such as Frits Bernard and Edward Brongersma submitted contributions.

During the 1980s, in parallel with the newsletters of the various boylove and minor-attracted people's organizations, many magazines were published more or less connected with these movements, such as Palestra[11] (1985) or Gaie France (1986–1993), gay magazine close to the French New Right, founded by Michel Caignet. Also published, were a large number of photographic journals: Backside[12] (1983–1985), Beach Boys (1985–1986), Eklat (1985) and Photokid (1986).

In 1987, Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia was launched in the Netherlands - a scholarly journal, which took a positive scholarly approach towards the study of pedophilia (in the less age-bounded sense used by activists at the time).[13] From the beginning, Paidika was different from other pedophilia-related publications. It had a professional layout and an impressive editorial board which reviewed the submissions to the journal. During its nine years of publication, Paidika managed to remain faithful to Bullough's (1990, 320)[13] observation and publish a great number of well researched scholarly articles. D.H. Mader's study of pederasty in the Bible[14] and Robert Bauserman's cross-cultural study of boylove[15] are two much quoted pieces. Moreover, what we know about pedophiles like Karol Szymanowski[16] and Jacques d'Adelsward-Fersen[17] are through articles published in Paidika. The journal was sometimes attacked and discredited as a "pedophile magazine".[18] The fact that it had an activist aspect allowed many people to downplay the importance of research published in the journal. Bullough and others were attacked for being in its editorial board, while "Dr" Laura Schlessinger and others tried to discredit academics that have published or given interviews in Paidika, like Bruce Rind, Robert Bauserman and Ralph Underwager.[19][20][21]

In 1993, the Amikejo Foundation of Netherlands published the first issue of Koinos, a bilingual magazine in English and German about the beauty of male adolescents. It contains articles on art and politics, academic essays,[22][23] interviews, reviews of books and films, stories and photos of boys, with contributions from several professional photographers. Its name refers to the Koine Greek, the common standard dialect used during the Hellenistic period. It was published every four months and could be purchased through international order and a limited number of distributors in the Netherlands and Germany.

Between 2006 and 2010, the Swede Karl Andersson edited Destroyer, a gay magazine focused exclusively on boys and younger men.[24] The magazine, containing features, photos, essays, interviews, reviews, columns, culture articles and fiction, was printed and officially published in the Czech Republic, but distributed globally through its website. It has received a lot of criticism from the media and child-protection professionals for allegedly "sexualising" children,[25] but Andersson has been quick to defend his publication and gives interviews to argue against his critics.

Online Activism

Uncommon Sense

Activist webmagazine affiliated with Newgon, and coinciding with the early second-wave of the MAP Movement. Short-lived, but preceded and succeeded by a team blog of the same name.

Modern online Pedophile/Hebephile magazines

Modern online magazines tend to cater to MAPs with a low pedohebephilic AoA. This is thought to be because various "teen" publications such as XY Magazine, instagram accounts and popular culture outlets more effectively cater to high hebephilic AoAs, or are covertly designed with hebephilic MAPs in mind. In rough, reverse chronological order:

We Are Child Love

Proposed gender-neutral pedophile-oriented magazine mirroring the style of Alice Lovers. We are likely to be able to archive this magazine once it is published.

Ethos Magazine

Alice Lovers and True Innocence Magazines

Little is known (or, perhaps shared) about these titles from the 1960s and 70s, however many such publications were circulated, featuring both boys and girls. Within Scandinavia in particular, they were said to operate openly and on a commercial scale, prior to Child Pornography legislation. Color Climax Corporation produced legal youth erotica in this era.
