Penthouse Exec Says All Men Are the Same

Penthouse Publisher Guccione Says Men Are Basically the Same, Only Sex Lives Vary Depending on Country All men are basically the same, according to Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione only their sex lives vary depending on the country they're from.
"The British are reserved, the French are arrogant, the Italians are lovers, and the Germans like to spank each other," Guccione tells Details magazine for its September issue. "Sex will always be the dominant factor in any man's life whether he realizes it or not. It's what motivates him to buy the car he drives, the house he lives in, and the clothes and jewelry he wears."
But even Guccione's expertise couldn't have helped him predict the proliferation of pornography that has caused a drop in Penthouse's circulation. The magazine filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week.
"Today, there are triple-X videos, adult channels, and pay-per-view films; there are strip clubs, phone sex, and most of all, Internet sites that have no restrictions," the 72-year-old said. "Attractive women are flooding the porn market in a way that surprises even me."

35 years in the soft-porn business and that's his biggest insight?

Of course, he has asked all his friends and business associates, and they all agree, right? The lack of depth to this argument is both fascinating and nauseating.

Nothing more than a pimp with an office. An old pimp, at that.

"Sex will always be the dominant factor in any man's life whether he realizes it or not. It's what motivates him to buy the car he drives, the house he lives in, and the clothes and jewelry he wears."My car is a beat-up old Jeep. My house (condo) is tiny and ruled by 2 cats. My clothes are from Wal-Mart. I wear NO Jewelry.
Is this why I am not getting any sex?
Thanks for the insights, Bob.

"Sex will always be the dominant factor in any man's life whether he realizes it or not...If sex is the "dominant" factor in any man's life, where do the motivations of "suicide bombers" fit in?

If sex is the "dominant" factor in any man's life, where do the motivations of "suicide bombers" fit in? Seems 72 virgins are very motivating.
