girlie magazines
Racy glossy publications
Girlie magazines are publications featuring photographs of nude or scantily clad women, intended primarily for male heterosexual arousal.
The term dates from the mid-20th century and sounds somewhat quaint now: He kept a stack of girlie magazines under his bed.
The diminutive "girlie" carries a leering quality that marks the term as mildly vulgar.
