I made a fascinating archeological discovery last week. My in-laws are preparing to move into an assisted living development, and my wife and her sister are helping them downsize the mountain of crap they've collected over the years, some of which was stored in the sister's attic. Wife brought some things home to evaluate and possibly sell, but she also brought home some of her dad's cache of Playboy magazines, covering 1990 and 1992. I perused the 1992s in search of interesting articles (found an interview with Vonnegut, among others), and then looked on eBay to see if any were worth selling. We might be able to get $15 for the Pamela Anderson "spread".

The 1990s were wrapped very neatly and carefully in kraft paper for storage (who does this???), so I decided to check eBay before unwrapping. Lo and behold, there is one that is fairly valuable, regularly selling for about $50. But not because of the centerfold. Oh, no, I'm not that lucky. This volume is sought after because the cover photo features the one and only Fuckface Von Clownstick, approximately 100 pounds lighter, but with essentially the same hair.

I haven't told my wife about this, because she would make me burn it and then bring in an exorcist, just in case. So it's sitting in our basement until I have the time to list it and sell it to some MAGA cult member. The best thing about this is that I will be taking that money away from some moron who would probably have donated it to Numb Nuts' legal fund. Just doing my part.

I wish I had a nickel for everytime I heard a guy say he checks out Playboy for the articles... yeah, sure dude. ;)

I wouldn't be too dismissive about Trump back then. He was apparently quite a catch for the ladies back in the early '90's, despite the fact that I probably just made you throw up in your mouth a little bit with that comment:

Playgirl Ran a 'Sleep with Donald Trump' Contest in 1990?

Playgirl did run a "Sleep with Donald Trump" contest, as we previously reported in 2020. We reached out for further details to Playgirl, which confirmed the magazine had run the contest in its August 1990 edition, as well as in the "Coming Up" section in its July 1990 issue.

The prize for winning the contest was a pillowcase with Trump's face on it, as well as a copy of "Donald Trump: The Man, The Myth, The Scandal" by Joel Reed:

He's tall, good-looking, about to be divorced, and rich beyond your wildest imagination. His every move makes headlines — even his bedroom moves. One woman reportedly called him "the best sex I've ever had." He's multi-billionaire Donald Trump, and now, if you win our contest, you can snuggle up and get to know him too.
It's easy! Just fill out the coupon below, and mail it in to us by August 15, 1990. We'll pick 25 winners at random (one for each million of soon-to-be-ex-wife Ivana's prenuptial agreement).
Each lucky winner will receive a pillowcase exclusively silkscreened for this PLAYGIRL contest with the Donald's face, so you can lie there whispering sweet nothings in his ear all night. If you win, you'll also get a copy of Masquerade Books' hot new read, Donald Trump: The Man, The Myth, The Scandal, by Joel Reed. You'll be able to find out whatever you want to know about America's most magnetic magnate.
Don't wait. A catch like Donald Trump won't stay out of someone's bed for long!

If you want to make some big bucks, get your hands on one of those 25 pillowcases.

Don't forget to let them know they just gave 50 bucks to a liberal atheist after you have cash-in-hand.

The taste of irony is spiced well with just a tinge of white rage.

The “articles” remark was intended to be humorous, although I did peruse them as well as the photos. Quite a few heavy hitters were published in Playboy..

I was kinda wondering if maybe you were making a funny there. I had a fairly substantial collection from the (mostly) 'late '80's and early '90's, but I ditched them when I moved. I did like the Playboy Interviews, though. The only issue I kept was the January 1981 issue that featured John Lennon's interview done shortly before his death. Plus, the centerfold was :love:.
 
There's a stack of old Playboys around here but I do not recall the years and I know they are varied because whatever old ones my father had around got added to the collection. I know where but they're not all that easy to get to.
 
When I was 15 years old, I cut my long hair very short. My mostly-absent father was home. He was autistic (as am I) and he never had opinions regarding my appearance or whereabouts. Usually, he'd ask if I had my house key; and asked if I would be quiet as I snuck back into the house at 2:20am, 2:30am, after a night of throwing things and interrupting a movie in a theater as I enjoyed the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

RHPS was amazing. I thought "Little Nell" Campbell was super cute, so I had my hair chopped off to look like hers.

My father THREW his Playboy magazine AT me and yelled, "Do you see any women in here with short hair? No! Men don't like women with short hair!"

My parents had raised me to consider every date to be "an interview for marriage," then refused to let me date on regular dates. So... the guys who went behind parents' backs went behind my parents' backs. At age 15, my RHPS boyfriend was a Real Boyfriend who I was supposed to consider a suitor. I didn't really know any better until I was an adult, around age 21.

My father never had or showed emotions. THAT day, he did.

Wait, Playboy has articles?! I always thought they were ads or disclaimers, I flipped by them so quickly.

Long ago it was well worth reading.

Simple test: my mother used to read it. The braille version which completely omitted the pictorials.

Huh. Just a few weeks ago you were ranting about old vintage pinball machines that featured sultry women on the backglass, and now you're confessing (in a roundabout way) to enjoying checking out the ladies in Playboy? Did you go through puberty since April? :unsure: ;)

You might to check out the word context some time. Probably help with your confusion.
 
I remember the first time I ever saw a picture of a naked woman. It was in the 8th grade and a bad boy had left a Playboy behind in a desk I was using for Spanish class. I opened it up and bazoom there it was. :ROFLMAO:
 
All these reminisces are so strange to me. Technically I grew up in the analog world, but I was a "good kid" and did not have access to pornographic magazines. By the time I was an adult and more interested in such things, the internet existed. It would arguably be more of a challenge in the present to avoid such images than it is to find them. The moral police might suppose that this would result in a wanton, libertine sex romp in every middle school. But that really isn't what's happening at all. Zoomers are noticeably more prudish about sex and nudity than their parents ever were, and date and marry other people at significantly lower rates. It turns out that making sex a dirty forbidden secret only increased its desirability for the youths of centuries past, and put young women in particular at considerable unnecessary risk.
 
My first experience was when I was in 5th grade. My older cousin had some triple X stuff that freaked me out so bad it probably warped my mental sexual health.

As I recall, at least some types of sex crimes have come down with the increased popularity of porn. When you have an essentially unexhaustible supply of free porn that you can watch on your 70" high def 4K TV, you can satiate your pent up desires and then get on with your day. Repeat as needed. So, I guess its safe to say that porn is doing some good for society. It is weird what is happening with the Zoomers, though. Probably a lot of it is due to the widespread use of online dating, where the top 20% of men are getting the girls, and the rest are getting nothing but frustration. Not to mention many never developed the social skills to approach and flirt with women IRL, or were led to believe its "creepy" or impolite. The number of young men who are in their late 20's and even 30's who have zero experience with women is far greater now than it has ever been.
