“I’m surprised I’m just now hearing about Viva! Granted I was only eight when it first published, but I can’t believe no one’s older sister had a copy, as they did with Playgirl just a few years later. With articles from such luminaries as Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, plus soft core porn, it sounds more like an early combo of Playboy (which really did have great articles!) and Men’s Health. As an aside, it figures men would have been mansplaining to women what women find erotic. THAT hasn’t changed.”
