The latest edition of a magazine published by Italian fashion house Benetton has been banned in Singapore because of its explicit sexual content, the government’s media regulator said yesterday.

Colors magazine’s spring issue contains explicit illustrations and photos of nudity and sexual acts, including orgies, the Media Development Authority (MDA) said. The magazine is known for its provocative pictures and hard-hitting topics like Aids, race, religion, war and immigration.

“The MDA has directed the distributor of Colors magazine to withdraw all copies of the spring issue from the market,” the MDA said in an e-mail. Last year, Singapore lifted a ban on Cosmopolitan magazine and on the television series “Sex and the City”, which had been deemed too racy.
