skin mags

Nudity-focused publications

Skin mags are magazines featuring nude or sexually explicit photographs, typically of women.

The term is informal and slightly dated, from when pornographic material came primarily in print form: He had a stack of skin mags hidden under his mattress.

The "skin" refers to the exposed flesh on display.
