So, how 'bout those articles, huh?

I thought it just couldn't compete with free internet porn so they gave up trying. Print magazines are dying left and right.

it's not anti male sexuality, I think, just a marketing strategy. Old Heff realized nobody was buying the mag anymore, cause we all just used the interwebs for porn these days. He also realized that Playboy as a brand, as a luxury symbol, was growing (basically, people buying t-shirts, hats, lighters, belts, anything with the Playboy logo, cause it was cool).

He realized that the money-maker was not tits, but branding. So he dropped the tits to be able to appeal to a larger audience, trying to rebrand Playboy as 'classy' instead of 'fap fap tits'. Now anybody can buy the mag, including those 15-year old idiots trying to be cool.

Men don't buy nudie mags anymore, you aren't a victim pussy.

>regressive leftist
are you stupid

but yeah male sexuality is scaring some people which is lame

This guy is correct. Hugh Hefner tried to brush it off as a sign of Playboy becoming "progressive" but it's obviously just pointless to print porn on paper anymore.

Also, Newsweek is dead but fucking MAD Magazine is still alive?? How?

with this I am convinced that someone has access to all my writing and is making threads based on the things I write about, fuck you internet stop stealing my shit.

Pretty much this. The idea of a porn magazine, and a softcore one at that, just makes no sense in this day and age when there's so much free porn online.

'regressive left' is not an oxymoron to /pol/ they are the eternal victims fighting a culture war

playboy is like the new yorker with nudes

the articles are high quality

he has that juicy j without sunglasses black lizard person look

In what sense do you think our culture is becoming sexually repressed?

I bet Pynchon reads MAD

>Also, Newsweek is dead but fucking MAD Magazine is still alive??

1. Even modern MAD is better than Newsweek.

2. MAD fills a niche while Newsweek was just one of many low-quality weekly current events mags.

wew, the world without internet porn must have been different

they serialised Fahrenheit 451 in the first issue, they're worth reading right up until the pictures start to look like modern porn

>internet
>porn
pick one

>fall to the regressive leftist anti male sexuality trend
yes it's certainly not because of free internet-tits
>male sexuality is scaring some people which is lame
yeah nothing scary about rapists

>yes it's certainly not because of free internet-tits
Yeah, they are jumping on outrage feminism to make money. I doubt it will work well without the clickbait mechanic of online publications.

>male sexuality = rape
You are such a stereotype.

>male sexuality ≠ rape
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Bam one second and you've got and endless scroll of tits of all persuasions, more tits than you would see from buying a lifetime of Playboy
porn magazines are for people who have not yet googled tits
apparently that number hit zero and playboy noticed

What are you on about, any numbers to back up your claim?

Ever since feminism men have become self conscious about any sort of possessiveness or aggression in their sex lives, at the same time there is a great fear of consent issues. Now instead of the church telling us not to have sex it's Dworkin and co. We're not supposed to like sex because it's inherently patriarchal.

>At this year’s NUS black students’ conference, I had sex with someone. The other party later informed me that the sex was not consensual. I failed to properly establish consent before every act. I apologise sincerely and profoundly for my actions.

>not raping people is so hard
>why do people hate men?

I wanna see her pussy.

you want hustler for that my firend

I quit porn though. It's hard sometimes. The desire is always there. Sometimes I get hard just seeing a chick's thigh.

Look honeybuns, if I have to ask for consent before every thrust, it's not sex anymore, it's just a chore. If the girl responds to my first advances, I just assume that I have her assent to go forward until she indicates otherwise.

I don't get what's so scary about this idea.

It is when dealing when the definition is ever expanding in order to give women more social control.

It's why the only sensible thing is to ignore them entirely.

Yeah we wouldn't want women to have control over their own bodies.

I think it's safe to say that women don't want anything to do with you either.

>Yeah we wouldn't want women to have control over their own bodies.
Being able to revoke consent after the fact is a great deal more than that. So are the many rules that deal with consent and drunkenness. As is the senseless affirmation of all "supposed" victims.

>I think it's safe to say that women don't want anything to do with you either.

You'd be surprised.

Yeah, I found a random 70's Penthouse and got all excited when I saw it had a Burroughs interview. Cool, but it was pretty ho-hum interview, probably aimed at 70s dudes that maaaybe heard of Burroughs.

Gentlemen's magazine lit is literally Bradbury- and Shel Silverstein-tier.

If a woman from Bangladesh or South Africa could hear you she would laugh her head off. Soon you'll be taking the barista at starbucks to court for fraud because she used the wrong type of foam in your pumpkin spice latte.

I wanted to read the Penthouse with an interview with George Burns because I'm a big fan of his. Unfortunately, the girl in that issue had lied about her age and was under 18. I don't know if it would technically be called child porn, I don't know if Penthouse was hardcore in the 70's, but it's certainly not the kind of thing you'd want to own.

You're living in a victim fantasy.
What would make her laugh? The idea of a woman having control over her own body or the idea that some loser on a collaborative Harold Bloom dick sucking fanfic wouldn't get female attention?

Besides, do you ever think of that in any other situation? What a woman from Bangladesh or South Africa would think?

"Millennials are having less sex than any generation in 60 years."

It has nothing to do with that, the fact of the matter is that nobody below the age of 50 actually pays for pornography anymore. There's no longer a market for a magazine full of naked sluts so they have to change their strategy and go for the 'lifestyle' side of things.

>regressive left

go back to sucking Milo's cock you faggot.

This isn't due to any 'sexual repression' it has to do with the fact that most of us still live with our parents and no self respecting woman over 20 is going to fuck you in your childhood bed.

The culture is more sexually open than it ever has been, stop deluding yourself.

Plus even if people are actually having less sex, it doesn't mean it has 'repression' (at least as is ordinarily understood) as its cause. Maybe even the opposite: people spend so much time thinking and idealizing sex in so many extensive forms that the person creating those fantasies doesn't see him/herself as capable of having a meaningful intercourse because he or she doesn't 'measure up' to that idealization.

Good points m8

my brother in law gave me one of his playboys once, i can't get off to that softcore shit and it's no wonder playboy is losing money, i gave the articles a read and wished i was hugh hefner so i could fire the writers

There is also them wanting to break into the Chinese market which does not tolerate nudity.

Somehow japan is like, the only country that does.

>male sexuality
>Rapists!

Wow, that escalated quickly

>What would make her laugh?

The idea of pampered college girls crying about """"""rapes""""" that didn't actually occur. And yeah, some of them wouldn't understand the idea that a girl can refuse a man after going to bed with him or becoming his partner. In most of the """"""developing""""" world unmarried girls who sleep around are thought of in the same terms of prostitutes. Their problems are on a whole different magnitude than those of students in the democratic west. Even in prosperous, stable Japan rape victims are treated with deep suspicion and the onus is on them to prove wrongdoing occurred.

>some loser on a collaborative Harold Bloom dick sucking fanfic wouldn't get female attention?

lmao did Bloom put an avuncular hand on your thigh and make you feel unsafe?

not really
also take your normie memes back to >The idea of pampered college girls crying about """"""rapes""""" that didn't actually occur.
This was nowhere in my post so I don't understand how it would make her laugh at that. Unless of course she was your imagined ideal of a third world woman, whose opinion you would never care about in any other situation.
>in prosperous, stable Japan rape victims are treated with deep suspicion
Just like the west then.

>lmao did Bloom put an avuncular hand on your thigh and make you feel unsafe?
lmao did a standard meme make you feel the need to make a even more stale meme?

Kill yourself. Oh wait, you can't even do that properly because you're a girl.

honestly though, how often should one ask consent to make sure that the previous consent is still in effect

besides, sex isn't one-sided, generally. if both parties are doing it, where is the lack of consent?

eat glass
>she didn't fight so it's not rape
kys

newsweek had the cleanest layout though. that shit was bomb af for extemp speeches back in the day

can't you just answer, don't treat my honest questions as arguments

>she
I didn't even mention gender, but you can also explain if it matters (is sex between homosexuals somehow different, maybe, or sex between non-binaries)

how should one have sex for it to be consensual and correct?

if you think not raping people is difficult you shouldn't have any sex and or even better kys

>if you think not raping people is difficult
I don't tho

but answer my questions pretty pleaase, I want to know your ideal sex, or even your acceptable sex

male and female are both examples of acceptable sexes

-.- so funny

I meant like SEX (69) not SEX ()

I don't have an exhaustive list but those spiders where the male is eaten after the act set a good example to follow

Why are you even here?

dude quit taking the bait, its disgusting to watch. you're getting all roiled up over a summerfag's last hurrah.

No. The culture is becoming sexually repressed in ideas and memes, and hypersexual in practice. In other words it's trendy to say you don't fuck around, you're not a how, but in practice everybody fucks around. Everybody, and everybody acts like they don't.

Hedonists who have a tiny bit of means to sustain their hedonism dream of only one thing: that they are not as hedonistic as they are. They want to feel meritorious, challenged and have depth (more so when boredom hits them) in delaying their quest for more pleasure and less pains, and they fail (since shame and merit is just a fantasy to feel good), but only to feel better pleasure in feeling more debased when they get back to their moments of explicit hedonism and thinking that they take a break form their meritorious attitudes.

People who cannot manage to find the means of their hedonism just dream of being hedonist and they do not imagine that even when the means are here, they will still feel unfulfilled sooner or later.

and the schmucks who fail to have the means of their hedonism cling to their fantasy of morality, since they have nothing else.

>you're not a how
deep

Playboy really massages my medium, if you know what I mean.

>Hedonists who have a tiny bit of means to sustain their hedonism dream of only one thing: that they are not as hedonistic as they are.
> they will still feel unfulfilled sooner or later.
I actually hate how many ascetic, moralist and such folks tend to see that everyone's goal should be a sustained state of fulfillment, and they criticize all other ways of living by going all "b-but it causes suffering and isn't fulfilling".

As if I can't enjoy my unfulfilling life and just take it as it is, like it as it is, pursue my desires in full, suffer the consequences... As if this is inherently bad. No.

If desire means suffering and not suffering means not desiring, I want to suffer. Prolonged happiness sucks.
This is, of course, not some epicureanism or anything; hardly hedonism, even, as one doesn't need to desire pleasure. But I take it you weren't talking about those forms of hedonism, either.

people love to think they are saint while being animals most of the time
