In the first part of <a href="https://www.therialtoreport.com/2024/07/28/dian-hanson/">&#8216;Dian Hanson, Chronicles,&#8217;</a> Dian spoke of her upbringing in the northwest United States, an often shocking family life with a difficult and frightening father &#8211; who just happened to be the supreme grand master of a sex-magic cult. It was  a difficult childhood that included bullying, sexual assault, and running away from home, culminating in an unhappy marriage to a transvestite which ended after her troubled and abusive husband forced them to put their daughter up for adoption.
One of the few highlights and true interests from her teen years was Dian’s discovery of sexuality and pornography &#8211; thanks in part to the work of the psychologist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Krafft-Ebing">Krafft-Ebbing</a> and the growing permissiveness in the country, as exemplified by the publication of the strangely titillating Illustrated Presidential Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography.
In the <a href="https://www.therialtoreport.com/2024/08/04/peter-wolff/">second episode of our series</a>, we heard how Dian got divorced and moved on with her life by finding work as a nurse in Pennsylvania – despite lacking any formal training – before starting a hardcore magazine, Puritan, with a boyfriend &#8211; despite not having had any experience in publishing. Dian liked the sex magazine work much more than she liked her boyfriend, so she ditched him and went on to partner with Peter Wolff, an eccentric veteran of the New York sex publication scene. Together they helmed popular titles such as Partner, <a href="https://www.therialtoreport.com/2020/10/11/adult-cinema-review-2/">Adult Cinema Review</a>, and Oui, and though the pair were alternately and repeatedly feted and then fired, they developed a template for a new type of publication: a men’s magazine that would be guided by the desires of the readers.
Episode 3 is about the 1980s and 1990s &#8211; and how Dian’s career continued in the ever-expanding and competitive world of sex publications.
