I really like the styling and photography of Penthouse. It's a little too explicit for my taste as far as content goes, but I think as a whole the photography and styling are the best for Penthouse.

Being from the conservative midwest, I believe Playboy is still the best of the three.  Playboy still is artistic and glamour, the other two though, having great photos, go beyond that and include porn.  Two me that may sell their mags, but to me cheapens their image.

Not a big fan of any of them. But really not a fan of Hustler considering they had a huge roll to play in child molestation becoming so wide spread. They also worked closely with Kensey in the 60's and he helped with that too.

That's just plain wacky! Child molestation has been around since Bible days when Lot knocked up his 2 young daughters.

Just where did you get these wild ideas ? ?

Hustler had nothing to do with anything underage, ever.

Hustler wasn't even started until the 1970's and had no input to the Kinsey studies that were completed in the early 60's

Playboy for aesthetics, plus their football previews are usually very good.  Penthouse has some great photography as well but little else of interest to me.

I can never get past Larry's steaming pile of BS to ever bother with is mag.

I enjoy Playboy for the articles on fashion and politics.  Penthouse does have some interesting articles as well.  As for the photos, I usually laugh at some of their lighting techniques.  Hustler's main theme seems to be more of medical documentation than any type of aesthetics... which isn't bad I guess, but gave up reading Hustler when every damn shoot ended with girls pissing on each other.  Sorry, that's just not my cup of tea.

Rumors and urban legends.

Ken, you have been featured in all three and have a long history in bringing us all those images.  No preference for you or do you simply not want to take sides smile

I prefer Playboy.  While I don't think the quality of the shots are what they once were, like when Ken shot for them, I prefer the layout to Penthouse somewhat.  Hustler, for me, is a bit too graphic

Although I often find nude shots on MM that kick ass on any of them

Haven't looked at any of them for years. I used to really enjoy the Playboy interviews. John Lennon was a very good one. Heck, I don't even know if they still do interviews and if the ones they do have any punch still.

MM is full of white Knight complex.

Here is my belief system:

I find all forms of the female body classy, no matter what they are performing sexually.
Softcore "Playboy" or hardcore "Hustler"

We need to respect all forms of erotica. A boob is boob, a vagina is vagina. Love it or leave it. Stop saying one medium is better or classier than the other.
When you degrade one over the other all you are really doing is disrespecting women in general. After spending time on MM I honestly do not  think that there are many here have the mental capacity to even comprehend that!

Women are incredible gorgeous creatures, in Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and ModelMayhem!

And Playboy gets away with twins licking and sucking each others Boobs and more, which is incest! Incest is against the law in the Unites States of America. Hef gets away with it somehow..hhmmm   Now what?

The quality of both Playboy & Penthouse has declined significantly over the past half dozen years.  In fact, the photography in both magazines is really poor nowadays.  So, I don't prefer either.

The difference between these two magazines & Hustler is that Playboy & Penthouse had quality at one time -- Hustler never did.

I did a bit of research on Kensey and hustler was mentioned. That is the only way I knew. haha Kensey also worked with a nazi during his research and his book on Sexual Behavior in the Human Male is statistically the fourth most harmful book to humanity it is under Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, and Quotations from Chairman Mao(just a little side note. Sorry haha.

just a sec i will find a ref for the nazi interaction and how he used child molesters for info a what they did. There was a lady actually interviewed that remembers her dad working with Kensey and using a stopwatch while she was molested then giving Kensey the info.

Women are amazing, Larry Flynt is not.  His magazine suffers from him trying to use it to spill his diatribe of moronic ramblings and not focus on those amazing women.  As for people's preference it may have nothing to do with "white knight" syndrome and more to do with many prefer leaving something to the imagination.

Myself, I liked Penthouse when Ken was shooting it; even if it didn't leave anything for my imagination.  Playboy is a great magazine even if it left out the pictorials.

Only if it's between parent and child, NOT siblings. THAT'S the law.
