A wild and uncompromising history of four infamous magazines and the outlaws behind them, Dirty! The adventure begins in the early s and rips through the tumultuous '60s and '70s -- when Hustler 's Larry Flynt and Screw 's Al Goldstein were arrested dozens of times, recklessly pushing the boundaries of free speech, attacking politicians, and putting unapologetic filth front and center -- through the s when a sexed-up culture high on the Internet finally killed the era when men looked for satisfaction in the centerfold. As America goes, so goes its porn. Along the way we meet many unexpected heroes -- John Lennon, Lenny Bruce, Helen Gurley Brown, and the staff of Mad magazine among them -- and villains -- from Richard Nixon and the Moral Majority to Hugh Hefner himself, whose legacy, we learn, is built on a self-perpetuated lie. Mike Edison is the former publisher of High Times magazine, a Hustler and Penthouse correspondent, and the former editor-in-chief of Screw magazine. Edison lives and works in New York City. The contents of this publication are neither obscene nor pornographic according to the guidelines set by the United States Supreme Court. Excerpt from Dirty!

I intend to spend some quality time in the temple, with my bishop, and with close family and friends as I think and pray my way through this decision, but I would also value your insights into this. You will be kept abreast of political changes within the church that regulate your wife's behavior -- you are probably already aware of several rules she follows. The church is really good at putting on a happy, wholesome face to show the world, but if you look behind the curtain, you see that it's a despicable cult. We are here looking for the other people who live this life and understand how difficult and, at times, painful this career is with which to live since the majority of people think like you until they see our families in action. I am 27, LDS, and 5 days away from marrying my own amazing non-Mormon man. But wait a minute. I do not text or call him frequently-- I'll send him the occasional message, but generally I let him initiate contact and dictate the pace.
