pussy, but that was considered fairly scandalous in mainstream parlance. Later, Penthouse went one farther by advertising that they "showed pink", i.e. Playboy was not really very explicit then, either they showed titties, asses, and bush but never pussy lips. Now it's LAME-Oįinal remark: Playgirl was produced as a women's alternative to Playboy, by far the most well-known "girlie" magazine at the time. Pic related-Nov 1978, Howie Gordon, the semi-hard pic that had women fanning their brows in letters to the editor for months. Even the phenomenon of male strippers hadn't come along yet until the Chippendales in 1978 or so. You can't look at everything through the 2020 viewpoint-in the 70s, even most women thought it was scandalous to do more than peek and giggle at naked men.
Playgirl didn't really show a full, unequivocable "coat rack" boner until 1980, though there were a few in the later 70s that were some degree of turgidity. I for one STILL like flaccid cocks in porn I think a limp dick looks more interesting than a hard one, though I like spreads that have both.
I think it was sene almost as a joke by many, even most women, but it coincided with the feminist movement at the time and the male buyers certainly helped propel it. Even the idea that men would put themselves in a "vulnerable" position to be looked at naked by women was consider very radical, and there were all the usual boycotts by right-wing groups or "Concerned Mothers blah blah blah".

You need to realize that when this first came out, women very much were mostly housewives of the "Carol Brady" sort, it was rare to work, especially full time, and they were not supposed to have sexual thoughts.Įven the very lam first issues were a HUGE step forward for the time.
