Ok all you studs, how many of you have a subscription to Playboy? And how many of you read the articles?
The greatest part about Playboy is the playmates' turn-ons and turn-offs. The turn-offs are always stuff like 'mean guys,' or maybe 'smokers.' But the turn-ons are always vague. They don't come right out and say 'nine-inch penis,' 'Bentley,' and 'owns a hotel or two.' Instead, they say stuff like 'good sense of humor' or 'likes music and walks on the beach.' Meanwhile, some guy who works on a loading dock thinks, 'I like the beach, I'm funny, and I love that music! We were made for each other!' Then he renews his subscription.

Playboy is for losers. If you want porn, get real porn. If you want articles, get real articles. Don't half-ass it.
Don't get me wrong, I have immense respect for Mr. Heffner and Playboy and what they've accomplished, but the product isn't currently worth paying for.

The turn-on and turn-off lists are part of the fantasy.
They have to make the turn-ons seem something that any ugly sumbitch could provide, and they have to make the turn-offs so generic that only a crazed self-lacerating inmate couldn't qualify as a potential partner for these girls.
If they REALLY wanted to be honest (and there's no reason why they would, since their business depends on you thinking that the models are trying specifically to entice YOU as you stare at them), they would come right out and write:
Turn-offs: Guys with no money. Guys who aren't good looking. Guys who aren't smart. Guys who aren't witty. Guys who aren't submissive. Guys who aren't dominant. Guys who aren't sensitive. Guys who aren't pussies. Guys who aren't into committment. Guys who won't love me forever.
Turn-ons: Hugh Hefner (It's part of the job to sleep with him), my jerky boyfriend, who actually meets only one or two of my criteria, but with whom I am self-destructingly emotionally attached and who won't let me break up with him in a million years because he wouldn't DARE lose his ability to say that he's sleeping with a Playboy girl.

I like Playboy. The women tend to be more attractive than the average skank, and there are no macroscope viewings of the female anatomy (sorry, that kind of stuff just doesn't do it for me).

I like Playboy. I've got a three or four of them. I'll usually only pick them up if the cover girls catchs my attention.
I like the more artistic look of their nudes. A classy nude is a lot sexier than the gynecological look in a lot of porn. To me a woman spreading herself like she's getting read for a OBY/GYN exam isn't sexy at all.

Stormbringer and Durran Korr have stated my position exactly. I love subtlety and artistry, not displays of gaping holes. And a lot of the girls in the other mags can be pretty randomly skanky. Yeah, yeah, I know "its more real" and "that's who you're more likely to meet in real life" but shit, I have no problem meeting girls in real life, so when I go look at Playboy I am purposefully seeking a fantasy image, and I am aware of that. It's nice sometimes.
And porno movies do little for me. Talk about unrealistic images and expectations, geez...

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

And I pity the fools that consider a woman spreading her self wide enough to shove a midget up there erotic. And how the hell can anyone find a picture of woman's vangina taken with a telephoto lenses two inches away erotic is beyond me.Starscream wrote:I pity the fool that relies on that crap for his self pleasuring.
