British pornographic magazine

Escort is a British men's adult magazine which contains softcore pornography and erotica. It is published by Paul Raymond Publications, a company that also publishes a number of similar magazines, including Club International, Mayfair, Men Only, Men's World, and Razzle. The origin of these titles lies in businessman Paul Raymond's expansion from strip club management into magazine publishing in the 1960s.

A monthly pin up magazine with the title Escort was published between 1958 and 1971 by City Magazines. The title was acquired by Raymond, and from 1971 to 1980 was incorporated into another title he had acquired from City Magazines, Men Only. In 1980, Raymond began publishing Escort as a top shelf magazine with the revived title.

The magazine's content is a combination of photographs and text, with the photographs almost entirely being those of partially or completely nude women. Escort specialises in pictures of amateur (i. e. non professional) models, some of which are sent to the magazine by readers – these are described as "readers' wives". It often features photo shoots taken in an "ordinary" location like a pub, or outdoors at a place familiar to British readers. In 2008 Stephen Bleach, who had worked as publishing director for Paul Raymond Publications, described Escort as "cheerfully brazen" in contrast to Club International and Men Only, which he described as "pseudo glamorous". In 2013 Escort was described by Pierre Perrone, a former magazine editor for the company, as "downmarket".
