Rating: - Not what it used to be...
I was thinking about purchasing a subscription to Penthouse magazine because my fiance didn't object to the idea. Penthouse was the first "dirty" magazine I purchased when I turned 18 back in 2002. I was very pleased with the content, mostly pictorially, when compared to the much tamer fair of the Playboys I had hidden in a box in my room.
By the time I entered college, I had six issues of Penthouse. I had also discovered that 90% of the internet (which I hadn't had access to until I went to college) was comprised of pornographic websites, and that you could get a lot of the content for free (especially just women showing their private parts). I gave three of the issues to a friend (who's girlfriend blocked porn on his computer) and still have three somewhere in a box.
Enough with the back story. Today, I purchased the July 2008 issue of Penthouse. Much to my chagrin, pictorially it is equivalent to the Playboys of the mid-to-late nineties. All you get is a little exposure of feminine private parts (as compared to Playboy now, where you get breasts and perhaps the top part of a well-trimmed and air brushed bush). Yes, some shots are spread eagle, but not with the true intent of that position. In the older issues I had, before Guccione sold the magazine in 2005, you got spreading, toying, masturbation, waterworks, and even some penetration (I can do without the latter...just looking for the women).
Even semi-tasteful smut was dying in the late nineties, mostly due to the efforts of censorship groups. This killed the market for Penthouse by eliminating its presence on military base exchange stores and other stores around the country. It forced Guccione to eventually file for bankruptcy and sell Penthouse in 2005. The $8 newsstand price didn't help the magazine sales and still doesn't.
On the cover of Penthouse today, you'll see a small Support Our Troops ribbon. I have no problem with that. I support the troops. I have friends involved in the Iraq Conflict. I chose to be an engineer instead of following them over there.
It's not about keeping the image of the magazine anymore. It's all about sales and marketing (competing with Playboy for the softcore market). For that reason, I say that Penthouse has sold out. I'll still enjoy the Penthouse magazines I have that are dated before 2005, but I won't purchase any new issues or get a subscription (even at $2.50/issue, it's not worth it).
Penthouse used to be midcore. Playboy was softcore. Hustler was hardcore. Now, Penthouse is softcore, ... Read More
Rating: - Pets
This Publication has been around since 1965.Its first Pet was Bambi Lyn Davies,Subscription Manager Elect. There have been a few changes of ownership since it was started by Bob Guccione.The company even had a go at starting a Gentlemen's Club in London.There are even some DVDs around of some of the Pets from the 70s & 80s.Not quite in the same class as Playboy,but for anyone who likes well endowed young ladies,and a good read,try this.However who reads the articles,when there are photos of girls wearing nothing but a smile.......
Rating: - Penthouse
I have always enjoyed this magazine and have been looking for a way to get a subscription. Amazon helped me to do just that. The product is wonderful in that it is discreet when delivered as well as the magazine itself is a great read.
Rating: - What it is... what it is not
It is a guy mag with hot women, full frontal, articles on pop culture, cars...ect
It is NOT hardcore. as some have mistakenly portrayed this publication. It is essetially just like playboy with FHM or Maxim-like articles
Rating: - Good magazine for the adult male.
The adult men magazine hierarchy (small sample), from "classy" (pictures of nude women, but a lot of "other" content that tends to be more mainstream) to "trashy" (mostly pictures of naked women, and if there are articles and the like, they tend to be focused on the less mainstream more "adult" type activity): Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Taboo (a Hustler product), Nugget . . .
Penthouse ("The magazine of sex, politics, and protest") tends to be less "mainstream" than Playboy ("Entertainment for Men"), but less "trashy" than Hustler. The typical Penthouse magazine contains: stories from the readers (Penthouse Forum); a small review section ("Fast Forward") which reviews alcohol, books, film, television and the like; an advice column ("mainstream" and "adult"); letters ("Feedback"); ads (tends to be more "adult" in nature than Playboy, and with a large selection of adult phone ads); articles (recall the magazines tagline: "The magazine of sex, politics, and protest"); comics; and pictures of nude women that occasionally might be someone famous (and the pictures tend to be more explicit than Playboy, though less "trashy" than Hustler (which tends to be more likely to include pictures of "waterworks" than Playboy or Penthouse)). Due to the nature of the ads, the percentage of nude women to other material is higher in Penthouse than in Playboy (discounting the ads, Penthouse still probably has a higher percentage of nude women to other material than Playboy, though less so than something like Hustler (which has a higher percentage of pictures)).
If your just looking for pictures of nude women, Penthouse is not for you, though it certainly contains a lot of pictures. The women tend to be hot, but relatively unknown.
