Penthouse, Playboy, or Hustler?

Oct 08 10 04:52 am Link I prefer Hustler cuz I've been in it twice, once a 3 page layout ( April 2007 ) and once a 6 page with my pic on the bottom cover in the Best of Hustler - April 2008 . They paid well, treated me well and it was nothing at all pornographic. It was a great experience! Oct 08 10 06:28 am Link Hustler . . . I'm jest a filthy pig . . .  Okay, okay, PB is a close second, I had something in the July issue (words, not pix) . . . SOS Oct 08 10 07:29 am Link Kelli wrote:

It wasn't like Penthouse or the mainstream adult industry at that time were looking for minors. She lied. Oct 29 10 07:44 am Link Damon Strong wrote: Pretty much. Interesting that this topic came up. ABC Nightline last night did a report on a guy that has a magazine called Jacques Magazine. He created that magazine for the purpose of going back to the years when natural ruled. Pubic hair etc was one of the examples that he mentioned you don't see in magazines anymore. Photoshop etc. He strictly shoots his models with film. He uses an old Canon A1 film body. From what I've seen so far, it looks good and looks like the early 80's and back before the Playboy airbrush pictures 80's. Oct 29 10 07:50 am Link Those magazines/companies aren't leading the country anywhere. On the contrary, it can be said with confidence that at this point, each is doing what it can to discern the direction that it's viewers (it would be more than somewhat incorrect to refer to us as "readers" of those magazines; I don't even read the pictorial titlesâ¦) are going. The country is leading them at this point. Also, as it relates to class⦠or so-called "class" rather⦠I mean, heaven forbid a woman should actually relish being viewed objectively, right? Heaven forbid that a woman should own her sexuality and enjoy a more carnal exposure of self, right? I suppose that allowing her anus to be depicted in a sexual manner means that she categorically lacks class, right? When I was in college, I used to collect Playboy. I did so for many years because it was Playboy. I approached it from the prevailing view that collectibles have some sort of value in the long term like stamps. But personally, "things" or "stuff" have no value to me aside from application. As such, Playboy didn't have the articles or provide the fashion assistance that GQ or Esquire did. Wasn't on top of current events the way Newsweek etc was (or, more recently, any of the news sites which are up to the second). It didn't have the health/exercise expertise of Men's Health. All it had was pretty pictures and ones that really didn't do it for me. So I stopped buying them. I still have about 80 or so collecting dust. I stumbled into a subscription to Penthouse five years ago right at the beginning of their overhaul. I hated it for a couple of years but it's content has improved. 5 years ago it was far too tame for my tastes; just Playboy with a different name. I like that the visual aspects of the photography is no longer predictable from magazine to magazine. Hustler? It's like Penthouse was back when I was in college in the latter half of the '90s. When there's⦠ah⦠"business to attend to" Hustler is the magazine. But in this day and age of free, unlimited content on the web, I'd never buy the magazine. Were it not for the subscription that continues to be sent to me (it should have ended long ago, they just keep sending them), I wouldn't pick up Penthouse either for the same reasons. If I had to purchase one of the three, it would likely be Penthouse. I doubt I'll ever buy another Playboy unless someone I know is in it (which has happened off and on over the last 3 years or so)⦠Oct 29 10 08:05 am Link I'll flip through whatever you hand me, but, I won't buy any. Oct 29 10 10:14 am Link I think it is interesting to see people say Playboy is still classy.They are close to Penthouse now. Oct 29 10 11:04 am Link Playboy has some degree of class and many famous authors have written for it, as there are lots of non-erotica features too - authors have included Stephen King & Kurt Vonnegut Oct 29 10 11:16 am Link None. Oct 29 10 12:12 pm Link Given that Playboy no longer really has that "Girl next door" appeal. At least last time I looked. And that a good many women in all three magazines,and others, seem to think implants will get them in any door. I'll take the classic playmate. But there are some playmates that haven't ruined themselves. And I am sure there are plenty of women from Hustler and Penthouse that don't go the implant route. As for the over all magazine itself. Hustler just raw hardcore sex. Penthouse is pretty close to Hustler. While Playboy doesn't go either route and just has the big fake breasts . I guess if I had to pick one magazine, or type of girl from a magazine. I couldn't. Oct 29 10 12:36 pm Link Sabrina Maree wrote: OMG Claire Sinclair is gorgeous. Absolutley perfect.

Oct 29 10 01:56 pm Link I have not bothered to pick up any of these magazines in many, many years - so you have to deal with my "when I was a kid" review: I first saw all of these magazines when I was a boy. And it all depended on the issue, years and photographers. Playboy seemed very polished to me - it was always the thickest yet seemed to have the least content - both pictorials and otherwise. I still feel this way today. The exception always seemed to be the December issue - as if they saved all their best material and Playmates all year long for that one month. Don't know why - wonder if others feel/felt this way too? I liked Penthouse the best. It had a wider variety of 'types' than Playboy - which always seemed to be the same blonde woman with a different hairstyle. It was the magazine that introduced me to the photography of Suze Randall whose work I instantly loved, and still do to this day. But it often had photographers whose work I hated too like Guccione's own work which seemed like he had about 3 diffusion filters on his lens at all times:  There was actually more photos in Penthouse than in Playboy, and sometimes there were even articles, fiction and comics I actually bothered to read. Hustler was hit or miss for me. Even as a very young person (not going to tell you how young, but will say very young) I was drawn to fetish stuff, and Hustler was the only magazine that seemed to cater to them. It had by far the widest range of model types, and it sometimes even had things like models who were *gasp* shaved down there(!) which was a real rarity at the time. On the other hand it had a lot of bad photography sometimes - you just didn't know what you were going to get - it could be incredible, it could be awful. I also remember Oui Magazine, but since nobody asked, I'll omit comment on it. Those are my memories anyway.

Oct 29 10 02:41 pm Link Playboy sucks and has for years. It's the same formula over and over. The obvious processing that hurts my eyes to look at. I couldn't get wound up looking at a PB at all. That's so high school in my mind. Hustler? It was just classless. I never could get into that mag at all. Now Penthouse was my pick. They were creative and edgy with their shoots, and I really enjoyed to forums. I didn't care if it was made up. I learned a lot looking through those pages and reading the the articles. I still have my collection from the mid 80s through the early 90s. Oct 29 10 04:46 pm Link

Oct 29 10 06:44 pm Link haven't seen any of them lately, but always preferred Playboy in the past, just because it was more subtle, wide spreads views of the pink bits in hustler seemed more like a gynocology textbook and penthouse wasn't much better. Since everything became clean shaven downstairs (90s?) none of them really interest me. Oct 29 10 07:38 pm Link SWANK. Nothing like puttin on the bathrobe and cowboy hat, donning some shades, walking down to the corner convenience store and picking up a SWANK and a cigar. Yes sir.
