Grup (Star Trek: TOS zine)

You may be looking for Grip or Grope.
Grup was the first adult, or R-rated Star Trek zine.
The title is a reference to the show: "Grup" was the abbreviation of "grownup" used in the original Star Trek episode "Miri."
From an early ad: "The adult trekzine with the centerfold. Artwork, articles, fiction and poems from Trekdom's best-loved artists and authors." from an ad in Leonard's Pennsy & Otherwise Freaks v.2 n.1

==Grup, Visibility, and Awareness of TPTB==
Gene Roddenberry, the show's actors, and other showrunners certainly knew of this zine's existence.
The editor, Barnes, comments in Star Trek Lives! about three letters she received, regarding Grup:
Gene Roddenberry had this to say in 1976 in an interview:
==Grup's Birth==
==The First Issue's Historical Significance==
Besides the adult fiction, the first issue had a full-sized fold-out centerfold by Roz Oberdieck. (A note about the later reprints by New Leaf Publications: "Due to reprint agreement restrictions, fold-outs are reduced to 8 1/2 x 11 format.")
From Star Trek Lives!: "It was a Star Trek fanzine which was the first to shatter with a shot which should have been heard -- or seen-- 'round the galaxy: a thoroughly nude male centerfold of the elegant Mr. Spock."
==The Second Issue's Historical Significance==
While not exactly historical, this issue contains a centerfold of George Takei by artist George Barr. "When asked about the centerfold, George Takei's has often said that, "While being anatomically correct, it is somewhat flattering." It was indeed a great complement for George to not only recognize but to praise the artist." from the editorial of "Best of Grup #1."
This image was also reprinted in Graveside Grope.
The 1976 Hosato Yearbook included a riff by Eileen Skidmore on this illustration. 
File:grup2inside1.jpg|Sulu centerfold from issue #2, George Barr, also in Graveside Grope, this was reprinted in "Best of Grup #1" and, at least in one instance, was autographed by George Takei himself. A poster of this illustration was sold at at Phoenix Fan Convention which George and several other TPTBs attended; it required an age statement to purchase. It was also displayed in 1973 at the first Equicon.

==The Third Issue's Historical Significance==
The first K/S story to appear in a zine was "A Fragment Out of Time" by Diane Marchant, published in Grup 3 in 1974. It was written so obliquely that it wasn't clear to many readers that the two people having sex were both men, much less Kirk and Spock, until Diane's letter to the editor in the next issue. By the time the last issue was published in 1978, Boldly Writing claims that "Grup seemed almost tame compared to what was coming out elsewhere."
From Jenna at Beyond Dreams Press:
Marchant wrote an essay in defense of "A Fragment Out of Time" in the following issue of "Grup" called "Pandora's Box... Again."
==The Fourth Issue's Historical Significance==
The historical significance comes by way of a review of this issue in The Halkan Council #12 which contains one of the earliest uses of the term "Kirk/Spock" in Connie Faddis's review of Grup #4 (1975): 
Another fan in 1976: 
==The Possibility of the Fifth or Sixth Issue's Historical Significance==
In A 1980 Interview with Leslie Fish, Fish talked about her story Descensus Averno and how it had been submitted to "Naked Times". If it had been printed, the story would have been one of the very earliest published K/S stories:

In it, Dr McCoy asks if Captain Kirk has finished reading his technical manual copy of Grup yet.

Even if what I feel is not... mutual, what I offer is... is... without conditions. If your physical needs aren't fulfilled, you'll die. There's a faint possibility that something, like a battle, might sublimate the drive; but it's not definite, especially since last time was... unconsummated. You're of more value to the ship alive than dead. I offer myself as an alternative. Giving vent to your... ah... sexual needs, may with the help of medication, enable you to be of use to the ship."
