NEW GENTLEMEN’S CLUB

This is an adult porn magazine committed to gentlemen. New Gentlemen’s Club was born in the minds of some pervert editors and art directors who teamed up in Milan with a specific intent: fuck up the limit of decency. Pictures are carefully covered by a sleek veil framing amusing dialogues and porn romances. Many ad hoc contents are featured inside the magazine, which is printed in a pocket size like the first 60s comics you could always bring with you. And no worries cause on the bus you’ll have many amusing articles and porn tales to read among cock/pussy pictures. More on newgentlemensclub.net

CHAPTER ONE: “…When I was five, home with the flu or asthmatic bronchitis, I would try to pull the cock out of big Jim’s crotch and find a hole, some sign of a pussy, on Barbie (obviously I had both dolls, with my mother’s blessing) so they could screw. At seven I jercked off listening to my parents humping in the next room. I tried to come together with my mom. (…) it was during an art history class, partially spent tossing pubic hairs onto the hair-do of the female eyesore sitting in the row in front of me, that for the first time I stuck a Stabilo Boss Fluo Highlighter up my ass.”

For its 3rd issue the intriguing Lurve magazine had the bon goût to feature photographer Cécile Boroletti on their cover. No doubt that the content will make up for that promising introduction!

As we have spent the last two weeks exploring A#7, it is very exciting to present the reflections of Kris Van Assche himself on creating an ‘A’. I asked Kris the following 10 questions this December, with over a year since his issue was released. His responses are intimate and thoughtful while remaining direct and informative – the words of a man with a clarity of vision and confidence in his work.
