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...

Their sales of the mags was 5 million when I was a kid, latest figures is 500,000 and that's a big drop.If I want to see nudies its right here at the click of the finger...free.
 

Hmmm. I am totally in favour of nudity in the name of art. Sadly, I believe art was not on the minds of most men who viewed most magazines such as Playboy. Full frontal or not, explicit sexualised poses are not respectful of women.
 

I had that first issue of Playboy featuring Marilyn Monroe in 1956 but lost it the same year. I bet it would be of value now even with a few shop worn pages. Question.......why is it that young boys never took Popular Mechanics magazine into the bathroom to read.

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.

Can't we appreciate you as equals and appreciate the boobies too? I have boobies! :smug1:

My wife and I exchanged our gifts Christmas Eve after stuffing the kids stockings. For several years it was a tradition for us to exchange a Playboy and a Playgirl.

I do hear you, though Shali. I must admit to checking out pretty girls discreetly, but I always thought it was horrible what women have to put up with on a daily basis, with all of the cat calls, and constantly being hit on.

Oh! Dear Underdock.
I reckon you have dropped a Booby there, taking on Shirley like that.
Take my advice.
When in a hole.
Stop digging !!!
I worry for you my friend.
I really do!

"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)."

NOW, ya got me interested! I am somewhat at a loss, though, to understand the division or wall, if you will, existing between "respectful nude", and "sexual nude".

Is respectful nude NOT erotic, but the other kind is?

So, nude = sexy is not so. Or, my noodles may be all wet! :confused:

EDIT: Well, having dug my hole even deeper, why stop now? Respectful nude is acceptably admired by both sexes, but nude women admired by men, NO WAY! OK. So, what about nude men viewed by women? Someone jump in and cover my grave up!

It's the ages-old "women are allowed to complain but men are not" standard ...
 
Jiminy! I don't know how you guys do it! BTW, the wristwatch bit was a "gauge" to tell the depth of the tan. The watch area was never exposed to the sun. Crazy, huh?

In my old age now, I use a different kind of gauge. :rolleyes:
