Well, Playboy is closing up...and to think it is happening after 3 years since the creator Hugh Heffner died. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/202...xwLYYnUs-k7-RUM

It’s probably more because they stopped being an easy access Soft-Core pin-up outlet and tried to become a real magazine easily a decade after the period when magazines were financially solvent.

It was always about the boobs and anyone who thinks otherwise is a charlatan.

Back in the days before the internet, porn was hard to get if you were a minor. But even as a horny teenager, the playboy vhs tape I obtained was so boring I had to turn it off.

That was clearly a desperation move because the magazine was failing anyway. And they went back to boobs pretty fast because they sold even less magazines that way.


And the company isn't closing, they're just not printing the magazine anymore.

In fifty years, Playboy magazines without any of their pages stuck together will each be worth a small fortune.

Yeah probably. I decided to get into education again at a late age and fellow mature student and I made friends with a 17 year old student. If he ever called you over to take a look at his phone there was 50/50 chance it was hardcore pornography (or worse*). I don't know, maybe horny teenagers these days are combing the woods for flash drives and sim cards.

*Sort of makes me wonder if the sort of stuff we found edgy like goatse or whatever seemed tame to him.

I used to hang out with these two sisters in high school and their dad had like almost a whole collection of playboys just chillin on the bookshelves in the den downstairs where one of the girl's bedrooms was and where we had our band practices and played video games and poo poo. In the bedroom there was this secret door and small passageway to a hidden room and we used to just pull em off the bookshelf and take em in there and look at them. :) idk why that was never controlled more..

Nah. Back in the day-the day, it was a legitimate gentleman's magazine with a huge impact on style and culture. In High School our curriculum included a short story originally published in Playboy, for instance

Even coming of age at the tail end of the dirty magazine era, Playboy was weak and we quickly moved on to Hustler and grosser no-name-brand jackrags.

Same. Once we got the internet the appeal of tastefully posed titties and the hint of a labia just didn't cut it so I just read it for the articles.

Never experienced playboy in my formative years, by the time I was old enough to seek out porn (like 9 or 10 i think) i just got on the internet and tried searching for porn sites by randomly typing things like boobs.com or whatever into the browser. About five minutes later the page would load, id ogle, then move on to my next search. Playboy was this thing i had heard about but never seen until my late teens and by then i couldn't believe that it was seriously considered porn

It was a good way of seeing celebrities naked back in the day, because they somehow convinced them that being naked in Playboy was classy or good for their careers in some way.

Nah, even lots of homeless people have smartphones now, they don't buy nudie mags, they have better uses for that $8, like buying a bunch of steel reserve

Yea the whole joke of "But I read it for the articles!" was always funny to me because it had really good articles, my friends dad had a huge stack of Playboys in the garage and we used to read them while playing video games. There were some really good sci-fi stories in them, and awesome articles about fighting in vietnam and stuff

kind of a shame more 14 year olds won't be culturally shaped by them, really, it was a good way to come of age, probably a lot more healthy than internet porn and 4chan/YouTube

Yeah, I vaguely remember this. I've heard Sam J Jones (of Flash Gordon fame) posed naked for playgirl too.

Fake e: Whoops, after using google I found out he did that before he became a movie star. In case you are wondering, yes, that dude is hung.

You gotta remember, back in the day porn was not easy to get. Playboy was the first porn medium that had wide, legal, easily accessed distribution. You didn’t need to know a guy to get it, you could subscribe to it or get it at the newsstand. Their content and quality gave it an acceptable veneer that made it respectable to buy.

It was many years later until video rental and cable porn became an option.

I “borrowed” the Carmen Electra issue from my friend’s dad as a young teen and nearly did permanent damage to my junk. Once dsl became affordable it didn’t have the same magic.

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
I was sneaking reading my Uncle's Playboys when I was a kid babysitting my cousin. I hate kids so I'd just let the baby play or cry while I carefully whittled away at the surface of all the ice cream containers in their freezer and looked at the Playboys with fascination and repulsion mixed.
I'm totally straight but I've always found puffies amazing and if I was a guy I would have been into them. (Mine are the opposite, lil pencil erasers so maybe that's why who knows.)
He had a few Hustlers too which were noticeably grosser. At the age of like 10 though I could tell all the stories of these amazing sexual encounters happening to random guys were all made up; they didn't even change the writing style ever except occasionally there would be a shorter blunter one which was perhaps legit.
