Dian Hanson began her publishing career as a pornographic magazine editor, historian, and writer by helping to found the 1970s hardcore journal Puritan. She went on to work for men’s magazines Partner, OUI, Adult Cinema Review, Outlaw Biker, and Big Butt, but was most famously the editor of Juggs and Leg Show fetish magazines from 1987-2001. Since 2001 Dian Hanson has held the role of Sexy Book Editor at TASCHEN and oversees the production of all TASCHEN’s titillating titles. Her 60 plus publications for TASCHEN include The Art of Pin-up and many more.
Her success lies in her understanding of human desire, in large part attributable to her career-long correspondence with readers, queer, straight, and questioning, and her ability to translate their fetishes and fantasy.
