Playboy to drop nude pictures by 2016, aiming at PG-13 content.

[Razgovory]

Yeah, Malthus hits it right on the button.  Other racy magazine that came later were more about sex.  Playboy promoted a fantasy jet setter lifestyle.  Men who were rich, well read, and had a lovely girl on his arm.  Think James Bond.  Magazines like Hustler were more "sleazy".  It was closer to the guy standing under the bleachers looking up women's skirts.  The girls in playboy were supposed to be more classy, they originally had a "girl next door", look and the vagina wasn't photographed (this changed later).  Girls in Hustler were less pretty but had the "Would do anything for cash" look.  That was just the image that was portrayed of course.  Most of the girls in both magazines would have done anything for the right price.

I don't know. Alot of people who clearly did not need the money posed for Playboy. And plenty of people actually do aspire to be pin-ups. I don't think we can presume to read the minds of people we do not know.

But then I guess you did say "most" so I guess you covered your bases

I should copyright those before Pepperidge Farm uses them.

Wait they are going to PG-13 not PG. They can still show boobies.

Yeah, but it wasn't really Hustler that gave Playboy problems, it was Penthouse.  If Playmates were kind of slutty girls next door, then Hustler centerfolds were cheap trailer trash whores, but Penthouse Pets were very high class call girls.  That sort of let Penthouse sell the raunch of Hustler but the sophisticated lifestyle elements of Playboy.

Pity this transformation did not occur back when Cal was still single.

When he was single he didn't have the money to buy a chick with Playboy certified fake boobs.  He probably still doesn't.

I don't love fake boobs.  I love big boobs.  I'll take the fake ones if I have to though, I guess.

Honestly I never really saw an issue of Penthouse.  I know Hustler went full porn and produced videos and websites, so I guess they found a business model that worked for them.
