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!

My point is that a lot of men seem to want men's magazines that have cheesecake but aren't porn. Magazines like Maxim seem to be doing pretty well. But Penthouse is stuck with the idea that men want more explicit pictures of women and it is failing. In other words, men want a lot of things and suggesting that explicit pictures explains what men wants leaves on blind to a lot of other things that men want that a lot of other publishers seem to be having no problems having success with.
