No, no Ive read plenty of Cosmo, and my daughter gets Cosmo Girl, and they have about 5 pages of eewww guys per issue. Yuk!
And I thought that EVERYONE knew that Playgirl was for gay guys...just eewwww.
Where are the mags for hetero girls? (Hehe, I dont expect you guys to know, just curious as to why they havent taken off like the girlie stuff)
Also, take a look at a list of interviews that Playboy has published in the 60's:
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Frank Sinatra
Jimmy Hoffa
Ayn Rand
Malcolm X
I think that Playboy qualifies as pornography, but certainly of the soft variety. But porn, nonetheless.
I once had the issue with the long John Lennon interview. I was a huge Lennon fan at the time, and would have bought it just for that.
I finally noticed the interview about 6 months after I bought the mag. :0)
Like Ron White says, once you've seen one woman naked, you want to see the rest naked too.
Hugh Hefner has done MORE to promote promiscuity, abortion, hatred between the sexes and radical feminism than anyone alive today.
On some level, religious puritans realize that the current war will doom them in much the same way the war against Naziism doomed genteel anti-Semitism. The parallels are just too uncomfortable, even if not conscously considered.
What it really was was the introduction of the home VHS machine.
Print porn is barely hanging on these days. Hefner's money comes from the cable operation. Guccione's all but bankrupt. Flynt's wildly diversified.
thankfully, we'll never know. : )
It happened a while back. I believe the guy was arrested.
Huh? Can you back that up with some evidence?
No, there have been plenty of nudes in art throughout history.
HUSTLER magazine has even better interviews now!
no actually I've seen this myself in Chicago.
Like it or not, sin began thousands of years before the 1950's - and assuredly in pornography-format.
But Hefner was the promoter - the pimp - of his and our age.
Did you EVER read the "Playboy Philosophy"? I DID - a lot, when I was young, callow and collegate.
Hugh presented women as purely sex objects, sex as an acceptable form of indoor sport between people with no commitment between the partners, and he did this quite slickly.
Women who were just entering the workplace at the time Playboy and his twisted philosphy became popular among many young males with overactive glands, found themselves the targets of guys who just wanted bed-partners instead of life partners.
The popularization of the reaction by many women to this led to the growth of radical anti-male feminism in America.
Its no accident that some of the most virulent feminazis were once Playboy "bunnies".
Hugh's latest "experiments" were with homosexuality.
If you have seen pcitures of Hugh lately, he looks a lot older than his age - if possible.
But then what do you expect from a low-life dissolute hedonist?
"What it really was was the introduction of the home VHS machine. "
Well, that came some time after Playboy. Actually, there was a brisk market in the 50s and 60s for 8mm stag movies. Since home movies were a popular thing at the time, many households had an 8mm projector.
There were a number of outlets for 8mm porn, and it was pretty popular among the young adult male set. You run across a stash of them now and then at estate sales these days. They're really, really cheap, as are the projectors.
The movies are rather crude, though, in comparison to the more heavily produced VHS porn tapes. Still...they were popular.
