Playboy has gone to non-nude...where are we going?

[bad Chad]

I understand their concept, but it makes no sense to me.  And it brings a bit of melancholy to my day, just a bit.   No frontal nudes in Playboy?  WTF?   I admit, I was always a partial to the much more dicy Penthouse, which long ago died along with Bob Gucciono and Omni magazine, now that was a good rag!

But somehow to me, seeing P/B go lame just feels like we are losing something that once meant something and now doesn't, and after all the hub ub, will be lost in history.  To bad, because it meant a lot to many, many aspiring young men across the planet.  But the internet has destroyed the fun of paper women, someday, the net will meet the same fate I suppose.

Paper women have developed into moving women on the web.

Personally think it's the way to go, never did like the Gynecology monthly version. A little imagination goes a long way.

So glad I didn't throw away that big stack in the attic with all the nekkid wemmen in 'em. Maybe the American pickers will make me an offer someday

It's a wonder the ceiling didn't come down.

I hear you, but for your sake, be very careful when googling anything to do with, cats, corn hole, rear  end wear,  inserting anything into anything and so on, and so on...

[Two Checks]

Why did Playboy stop doing nudes? It works for Maxxim, the most popular prison magazine!
Actually, I don't know that to be a fact, but IIRC Maxxim outsells Playboy by a bunch.

And I thought you were expert on corn or was it porn? 

[canuguzzi]

Now we know why the women who might stop by, leave without saying anything.

To use a cliche or banned phrase...

Just sayin.

PC (Political Correctness) has gone too far.

Haven't really cared since their decline in all things femi-oo-la-la... That being the post Barbie Benton era!

All down hill for me since, though not including,... her.

Come on man!  Have you ever paged through a Maxxim?  Thats why they are everywhere, they don't do total nude!  This is my complaint, P/B is dumbing down to play on Maxxims turf!

You aren't gonna see any of the really good stuff in Maxxim, and or P/B now!

....That being the post Barbie Benton era!....

Careful, it's also the post Lorena Bobbitt era!

Thank goodness there isn't a female moderator.

Wait for it....

Yeah - Heaven forbid men enjoy and appreciate the female form lest some tissue-skin label it objectifying.

Around these parts - there've been many a "man" in the past posting here who'd likely cry foul at fellas engaging in a titillating thread such as this... It ain't just the women who gripe. 'Sides, hasn't Playboy been run by a gal lo these many years? Perhaps I'm thinking of the other one.

No great loss, I only read the articles anyway.

ROTFLMAO.

Right, sure that has to be it, the female form. Didn't know there were so many artists on the forum. The big boob thread should have been the clue. lmao.

In my stuff/archives I have the issue with the Jimmy Carter interview.

[guzzisteve]

Heff must be dieing, no Heff, no boobs.

Way back when I was in high school, one of my teachers had her classes write term papers on a black history or culture issue. I happened to see an interview in Playboy (can't remember who) that was very topical, so I shared it with a classmate who was writing about the issue that made the interviewee famous.

I'm sure the interview was a cornerstone of my classmate's term paper. The teacher never commented on the source.

I am glad my lifespan has been 1960-???.
I feel sorry for young men who never rode aroud carousing all night in a bigblock Olds 442.
Thigs seem to be weirder and weirder between the sexes.
Television is awful. The list goes on and on.
I think we have lived in a golden era.

 You are just getting old Bill .

PC (Political Correctness) has gone too far.

 What was it called before Playboy was published?  Censorship? Decency?

It's been a pretty good run, Bill. Actually, I like the 30s, but the dental care sucked.

Speaking of PC, the faculty my local Ivy League School, Brown University, just voted to change the name of the school's October Columbus Day holiday to Indigenous Peoples Day.  The rub is that RI has one of the highest percentages of Italian-Americans, who take Columbus Day as virtually a religious observance.  I'm waiting for the inevitable town-gown clash over this.

 OK fellas , let's not crash this thread into the wall of politics . Thanks .
