I think I last looked at Playboy when I was 18...(I’m now 72)
My wife and I watched a show about Hefner some time ago (Biography, maybe?). He was very old and had a pair of twins as girlfriends and was practically living on Viagra. People were bringing him birthday gift baskets filled with more Viagra. He once appeared to be a cool and erudite host with his Playboy's Penthouse program in the late 50's/early 60's. In his late years, he was a sad sex-obsessed old man with nothing in his life but sex and more sex.
Makes me wonder about the guys who used to spend a lot of time at the Playboy mansion "partying" with Hef. Wasn't Cosby a frequent guest?

Depo-Provera is used the lessen sex drives in male sex criminals.
I really did read the articles... and some of the were incredible. Some of the highest quality writing in print.
But then I would usually get distracted...
Very true.
Hef was a creep, strolling around in a robe and diapers, just like Josef Stolen, ironically.
Gay dude in a bunny suit is almost as bad as morbidly obese chicks on the sports illustrated swimsuit issue
I wonder if someone is paying media to promote perversion and falsehood …
Example Drudge was paid by someone or group to use his website during the 2020 election.
Sports Illustrated featured a tranny. Now playboy.
Clearly against the target market they have.
But if someone offered you $500 to feature this crap on the iconic cover, complete with iconic ears and tail, it makes one wonder what else is happening.
Correction: $500–> $500 million
Interesting concept, if accompanied with a pill that extended middle age.
Bingo. And when it didn’t produce better sales they reversed the decision. Pretty obvious.
The culture Hef created eventually killed his own baby.
Porn addiction and homosexuality both are symptoms of arrested psycho-sexual development. Real men don’t have time for them. Playboy was always gueer.
Playgirl was purchased by very few women.
Imagine the surprise of the more famous “models”.
Cheaper than a pill to remove sexual desire would be a screen saver with a photo of Hillary Clinton.
This latest attempt to reboot Playboy and make it relevant will fail like all the others because the editors are too stupid and woke to understand what made it successful in the first place. Playbook had guts when it started and pushed against the social taboos of the time, they didn’t simply bend over and accept them.
If Playboy really wanted to save their brand they would return to the time in the ‘50s and ‘60s when “men were men and women were glad of it”. The whole premise of Playboy was to teach working class stiffs that if they made a lot of money, drank Chivas, wore Patek Phillipe watches, and dressed cool they could get even the most beautiful women in the world (i.e. Marilyn Monroe) to take off their clothes for them. It doesn’t have to be true, just useful to sell magazines. It also helped if they occasionally read something other than comic books.
If Playboy had anything left of their male anatomy they would go full retro and shock the woke world. What made Playboy successful was not competing with porn but with real societal taboos. They had the sense to sell working class stiffs enough to make them stiffer but no more.
I think decreasing the male sex drive would make the world fall apart faster.
Men without interest in women are destructive rather than creative and constructive.
I don’t want to live in a world where men are essentially feminized. No thank you.
auto correct?
“The sexual revolution was largely driven by The Pill.”
Not sure on this. I believe it was driven by the removal of religious respect when the schools took out prayer so the kids could be exposed to it. And then things like Woodstock, and places like Haight-Ashbury and Venice Beach in California, Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon in the northwest, Delano South Beach, Florida, New York and New Orleans are hot spots for the “sexual revolution.”
But the pill was just a tool. And it wasn’t effective as more and more women out of wedlock were getting pregnant, many unwanted, although it has lessoned over the last few years. And there are numerous forms of birth control now avaialble with even young women as early as age 13 can now independently make decisions on their use.
So it isn’t the tool. It’s the user and the parents who should be teaching children more about sexual decisions and not letting the same people that think they are tasked with this along with their decision to pass out condoms to everyone even into grammar schools and as young as 5th grade students, roughly 10 years old.
