It seems that the availability on the internet of lovely ladies to ogle has caused the demise of this aspect of the magazine that gained fame in the fifties. But I'm sure that this won't effect sales as the articles are so good...
 

He does nothing for me, but maybe Playgirl would be interested, if it still exists, and, of course, there are mags for some kind of guys that might like it...
 
All joking aside, I am pleased. Women have enough difficulty as it is not being objectified, without having our bits plastered everywhere. Like most women, I find porn offensive for that reason.

But is what is in Playboy, porn?

What's wrong with admiring the human body?

I guess it depends upon ones definitions ...
 
I hear you Phil, and I know you see us as equals. However, so many see us as a collection of boobies, and all the other condescending terms I cannot post here that reference parts of our bodies. It makes me cringe. I have zero tolerance for leering good old boys attitude. Perhaps when men and women achieve parity, I may feel differently. Often women let it slide, not wanting to make waves. Few like it.
 
Well, now, I recall that Burt Reynolds did a spread for some girlie magazine years ago and it sold like hot cakes...
 
Yup, and then there are, or were, those Chippendale guys that the women adored; I know because I was one of them for a few years...
 
This thread is hilarious. But on a more serious note, this news is only a sign that media-saturated-full-nudity has desensitized the populous and we may never be able to restore the lost art of mystery and provocative suggestiveness. Well, not totally lost but certainly endangered. There are and will always be other men's magazines like Maxim and GQ, in fact, they are another level of competition that caused Playboy's demise (along with Hollywood and "other" studios). It's only natural that men respectfully admire a woman's body. Respectful nude statue's and nude art have been around a long time…and admired by both men and women (for the sake of art).
