Playboy To Drop Nude Pictorials In Magazine Overhaul

[USS Monitor]

Some of us still have pubic hair. To hell with shaving that.

I'm not a porn star, though...

I dunno, there are probably pictures of you on boat porn websites.

"Boat porn"? I know there's naked picture of me on the internet, cos, you know, ships don't wear clothes; but I never thought of that as porn.

Do I need to change my flag because of the rules about pornographic flags?

[Benxboro]

...


boobies.

Mastery achieved.
Hopefully Playboy will still exist for our grandchildren to learn that there was a day when that rabbit mag was known for something sexier, and be able to buy new issues.

Any given thing is porn to someone. I don't know if you've noticed, but people are weird.

Do I need to change my flag because of the rules about pornographic flags?

I think it's mostly people-porn flags that aren't allowed, you should be fine.

[Gauthier]

So does this mean Playboys with actual nude pics may be valuable as collector bait someday?

Heh heh heh...

You said "bait".

Please. It would stop me getting aroused every time I see your sleek and curvy hull.

I suppose... I saw a thing once about a woman that was sexually obsessed with the Berlin Wall. That would be pretty creepy if someone was jerking off to pictures of me. Now I wonder what was on their mind when they made that CGI picture of me on my wiki page... I always thought it was just historical interest.

My flag has people on it.

You have strange tastes.

[Sun Wukong]

Pubic ha...I'm sorry, you're talking nonsense.

I'm still not clear on when and why the entire Western world decided to turn into John Ruskin.

I prefer to think of it as "the depletion of the Western beaver."

What's wrong with some sexual debauchery?

I can['t believe, I have to answer this question.

Just look at the number of children being bastards in the west and the divorce rates, and number

This is due to a culture of incessant immorality and sexuality promiscuity promoted by the likes of playboy

You're aware that you come from a country where women's movements are severely restricted, where honour rape and killing of women are things that are acceptable, where few women even have access to sanitary things to bleed upon (which means that a lot of women suffer from entirely preventable infections of their reproductive systems), right?

Also, every woman I know from India is happy she got the fuck out.

Oh right, we forgot it was the West where women are gangraped to death in public.

I'm not seeing how the map you linked supports your argument. Most non-Western countries, including India, have no data; and out of the countries that do have data, the teenage birth rate is lowest in Europe. The only reason it's as high as it is in the US is because of Southern states where the Biblethumpers won't let them have real sex-ed or adequate access to contraceptives. As with many nationwide statistics that make the US look bad, there is a North-South split, and it's the South that is totally fucked -- and apparently they are fucked from a very young age.

The stats indicate higher rapes in the Americas and the only reason that you don't about the Gangrapes in your country because your god damm media is too busy hyping propoganda to bomb the shit out of some country

Are these statistics relying on Union records or Confederate? Cos the Confederates make shit up.

Perhaps it's a protest against the Iraq War; American women no longer wanted to be associated with Bush....

However, Should anything as old as the 10th century not to protected as a cultural heritage site, I would beg to differ, it should be protected and it's secrets deciphered just like the sites the much older Harrapan sites, which the British shamelessly pillaged for bricks

1) Harrappa is irrelevant since it doesn't contain erotic art.

2) Since both Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro are in Pakistan, and listed as World Heritage Sites by Pakistan, the Indian government's attitude towards those sites is even more irrelevant (though acknowledging that Kaligangan, Banawali, and Rakhigari are in India).

3) We're not asking about whether 10th-century sites should be protected as heritage, but whether you're for or against the promotion of the erotic art at a specific site given your stated staunch opposition to all forms of pornography.


For what it's worth, I freely acknowledge that bricks from Harappa were used in the construction of the Lahore-Multan railway in the 1840s; but this is entirely irrelevant to the present discussion about your stated opposition to all forms of pornography.

In the case your an honest archaeologist than I would extend my wholehearted apologies and I would wish you good luck in preserving the historical treasures of the world.

See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Not as hard as all of those penises at Khajuraho, anyway.

1) The point however is that the following art is not intended to be erotic, only a sick man would jack off to carvings at a temple. The following art must have some symbolic meaning dealing with various aspects of kama or others aspects of the great ancient vedic tradition. I am not sure about it.


2) The point was to mention the fact that the British empire has done a lot to destroy cultural heritages of the world and therefore the culutral values of that island would not respect ancient monuments.

You have some good points, but you can't let resentment for the West infect you so deeply.

Why only a sick man? Why not a healthy man?

1. "the Americas" are two continents, which include a number of countries. This is not really a fucking specific set of statistics you allude to and do not reference. Furthermore, there's a difference between countries where women report when they are raped and countries where women are raped because the local authorities decided this is how they should be punished for the transgressions of their family members or because they are afraid of reprisals from their assailants (alternatively, being honour-killed by their families or forced to marry their rapists when they report it). As much as the attitude toward sexual assault in the USA and Canada is not perfect, it's a hell of a lot better than the attitude authorities in India seem to adopt.
2. I do not live in the Americas right now.
3. Neither my home country nor my current country of residence are "bombing the shit out of some country".

Care to try again?

If they want to get naked they should do it in the privacy of their homes. Think of the children!

My Aunt did, she got me a Playboy for my birthday, way back when.

It was worthless, of course. Bravo - It mattered back then! - didn't show any less and was cheaper.

Curious tidbit to the side - during the aforementioned 'Back then' era, Bravo actually published nudes of teenagers in the 14- 18 range ('Nudity' isn't automatically pornography under German law - overt sexualisation of the picture in question is necessary to qualify it as such. Now, the one time pictures of a thirteen-year old were published, it got the hammer dropped on it...). This has since ceased, though the pictures published now (18- 25 range) are noticeably more sexualised (Though not to the point where there'd be an age limit on purchase). I find this development - the increased sexualisation of nudity, combined with greater age-sensitivity - rather interesting (Though, in both aspects, not desirable) on the basis of the apparent (Though not actual) contradiction therein.

And I think it also explains a fair bit of the... culture shock may be an exaggeration, but let's say, modern - nevermind American - attitudes towards such things are weird to me. Along the lines of 'Where's the problem, again?'

It's a strange development, the simultaneous increase of sexualisation and shame.

The thing is that even in the United States of America, rapes are undereported and your cops even eleiminate it from their records

A 2013 study found that rape is grossly underreported in the United States.[2] Furthermore, police departments around the country eliminate rapes from official records to "create the illusion of success in fighting violent crime".[3] Based on the available data, 21.8% of American rapes of female victims are gang rapes.

There is no need to spew venom

Maybe Jeb will reverse the trend.
