Reply to comment by drekwithoutpolitics in TIL about "The Pearl": An underground pornographic magazine issued monthly between 1879 and 1880. Its contents were three serial erotic tales simultaneously, devoted to sex in high society, incest, and flagellation. It was shut down by the British authorities for violating standards of obscenity. by DasherPack

That every issue had three serial stories at the same time.

Aha! Thank you, that makes sense.

I’m a little surprised it only lasted one year. I guess I assumed they could keep it under wraps longer
