Pornography in this country is and always was a highly destructive behavioral weapon perpetrated against the people by the CIA.
The girls in that 1953 photo are average.
I’m watching the early- to mid-1950s “Death Valley Days” TV show, the western anthology series. Every episode has some absolutely stunning beauty in the mining camps or in the ranches. She’s always the love interest of the protagonist. The period clothes, gorgeous hair, and beautiful women — wow.
It’s interesting that quite a few of the episodes have the women in very strong roles. Not in today’s stupid “wonder” woman genre, but strong frontier, pioneer, farm, and ranch women leading things. They aren’t there just to make the men dinner.
Yep, I remember jokes about how some men claimed to read Playboy for the articles.
If I recall correctly there were court cases back in those days about pornography. And among the criteria involved dealing with whether a publication or a movie had any redeeming social value.
Playboy from the pastis pretty tame compared to modern pornography, and anything goes with internet pornography.
Hefner was the precursor to Howard Stern.
I dated a Bunny. She had nothing but the utmost respect for the professionalism required of the job. She was also in the Miss America pageant, a Budweiser girl, and an Pan Am world airways stewardess. Pan AM and Playboy were the two that seem to have been professional orgs worthy of her respect.
Wasn’t Hugh Hefner’s mansion the original (Epsteinesque) Honey Trap for celebrities and wealthy?
Four average-looking Caucasian females.
Jimmy Carter did a Playboy interview in 1976 when he was running for President—and shot himself in the foot with his “lusting in his heart” comment.
In 1978, while in college, I paid $125 for a lifetime subscription to Playboy. It was around $2.00 an issue then. That was over a weeks pay from my job then.
I got the magazine till it stopped printing a few years ago. I had long since stopped even opening it. Sold them all on ebay.
