"Lui" is a French adult entertainment magazine created in November 1963 by Daniel Filipacchi, a fashion photographer turned publisher.

The objective was to be bring some charm «à la française» to the market of man-only magazines, following the success of "Playboy" in the USA, launched just a decade before.

France, indeed, in the first half of XXth century had an outstanding reputation for erotic publications, feeding also foreign market and inspiring also ersatz France-flavoured magazines abroad, when, for example, US publishers used French-assonating titles like "Chère" and "Dreamé" or placed tricolour flags on the covers, attempting to attract the casual buyer [Jacques Lanzmann — Novelist, lyricist and editor of "Lui", "The Independent", 04 July 2006] . It was anyway a semi-clandestine circulating material, not allowed to be freely displayed or admittedly bought. In this sense "Playboy" changed the way 'soft-pornography' (become more respectfully 'adult entertainment'), can be publicly circulated.

This magazine was particularly successful from its origins to the early eighties, featuring many B-List but also prominent French actresses, such as Brigitte Bardot, Mireille Darc or Marlène Jobert. Its motto was "Lui, le magazine de l'homme moderne".

It featured a pin-up by Aslan.

After 1990 there were various attempts to relaunch the title. Currently it is published every three months.
