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."

And we are supposed to trust his advice? If he really knew what men wanted, he'd be able to keep his magazine afloat. There are a ton of men's magazines out there that are doing just fine so I think other publishers have a much better grasp of what men want than he does.

I wear NO Jewelry.

Real men don't wear jewelry, do they?

[HurkinMcGurkin]

Arrogant sex? What's that?

When you shout out your own name?

Arrogant sex?

Ask Clintoon our X42 crimedog.

When you shout out your own name?

Possibly masturbation?

[ffusco]

Guccione knows what men want, just not how to provide it to the marketplace flooded with free net porn. Penthouse was the edgier Playboy.
Playboy publishing also has seen empire crumble. The casinos are all gone, Heff a aging legend and Playboy magazine's is no longer hip.

I for one will never buy porn again!

[ffusco]

A Rolex Submariner is my "jewelry."

[ffusco]

Masturbation isn't arrogant. It's preventative maintainance.

[N. Theknow]

Arrogant sex? What's that?

It's for married couples that when they see each other say "f..." you.

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

Dear Bob,

No, the reason why you are not getting any sex is because you are sitting at your computer FReeping when you could be out scoring luscious young things.

No charge for the advice.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!

It's got something to do with the cats.

Looks like Bob is quite the babe-magnet, and can catch flies on his tongue.

Hey... don't insult the frog...

It's got something to do with the cats.

No way. My cats are the sexiest things you ever saw.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

"My cats are the sexiest things you ever saw."

Like I said, it may be the cats.

[spodefly]

Like I said, it may be the cats.

I would blame my flabby gut and geekiness before I would blame the cats.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Ok, you win. It's your flabby gut and geekiness. :)
