Are old Playboys actually /lit/?
>>
>>23974129
No. Pornography is degenerate. Hugh Heffner is burning in hell
>>
For me it's the Christmas blonde triplets December 1998
>>
>>23974134
It is but if you say you don’t beat off you’re a liar
>>
>>23974134
How much seething resentment must be in a person for them to actually imagine someone else burning in hell?

Yes, they literally had short fiction in them. I have an issue set aside to read with their Nabokov interview.

>>23974134
But softcore erotica is patrician. Anyway I've been starting to collect Playboys. Model on the left is Hemingway's granddaughter.
>>
>>23974129
Shel Silverstein wrote for them, yeah.

The actress? Nobody cares about that dumb cunt. I dont even know her name.
Being related to someone famous is a nothing burger.

I unironically bought two old Playboys because they had interviews in them I needed to cite for a thesis.
>>
>>23974169
I'm pretty sure that is the whole reason for the concept of hell existing
>>
>>23974129
Kinda, since back issues are where you'll find where the whole modern Illuminati larp came from
>>
>>23974223
All along, hell was having to be religious during life. Deep.
>>
>>23974129
they weren't good stories. not literary fiction, just stuff for men. mildly amusing or erotic.
>>
>>23974129
photos are assthetic af any guide books on how to take assthetic pics like this
>>
>>23974129
Their interviews with authors are typically surprisingly decent. Certainly worth it if you need to cite a line or two
>>
>>23974222
Imagine citing playboy in your thesis lol

>>23974175
She apparently died of suicide and her (half?) sister is still alive who had a starring role in a movie about a lesbian track star. I wonder how many dudes beat off to that movie.

Not terribly. Most of mine I got from a pawn shop that I always go to and he has a Playboy box. I've made big purchases there before (like a 1928 Underwood portable typewriter) and usually toss in a random Playboy or two for a few extra bucks, and he's thrown an extra one on for free before.

I have gone to ebay for specific issues I remember from growing up, and they were like around twenty bucks or so, not bad but I can see how that would add up. I mainly only want ones with nostalgia attached to them or others that have an interview or a pictorial that is just "must-have." I might sell the ones I don't want and make some scratch. I even found a personalized autograph in one. I should go back to that pawn shop.
>>
>>23974345
So? They're known for having good interviews with actors, authors, and politicians.

And some longer stories in serialized form. For instance, Fahrenheit 451 (published in book form the previous autumn) was serialized over the course of March, April, and May of 1954 when the magazine was still in its infancy (having debuted in December 1953).

>>23974356
>her (half?) sister is still alive
Full sister, and there are two of them, actually. Margaux (born "Margot") was the middle sister (born 1954, died 1996). The one you're referring to is Mariel (born 1961). There is also the oldest sister Joan a.k.a. "Muffet" (born 1950), who was a writer and actress when she was younger, but withdrew from public view in the early '80s.

>who had a starring role in a movie about a lesbian track star.
Technically the character was bi, but the story does center around a lesbian relationship specifically. That movie was Personal Best (1982). She also played Dorothy Stratten (the 1980 Playmate of the Year who was murdered by her estranged husband just as her acting career was taking off) in the biopic Star 80 (1983).

Mariel was in Playboy a couple of times herself, in conjunction with both Personal Best and Star 80. She got breast implants in the interim, which she later had removed after they ruptured. Her daughter Dree was the first Playmate of the Month after the shift to non-nude pictorials in 2016.

Margaux was more successful as a fashion model than as an actress. The peak of her fame was in the '70s, but her appearance in Playboy wasn't until 1990, when she was trying to revive her failing career. It didn't help, and in her final years she was mostly starring in direct-to-video borderline soft-porn flicks. Before she died, she accused her father of having sexually abused her as a child, a claim which Mariel eventually corroborated after Jack's death. Mariel now claims that he molested both of her older sisters, though not her.

I actually think about this often
Do people who invented evil and degenerate thing actually goes to hell or its the one who put himself in evil and degenerate thing that goes to hell.
Think about it. Playboy wouldn't exist if there are no consoomer, inside a super puritan soceity, it will go out of business in a quick manner. The one who keep things like playboy alive is none other than the consoomer themselves
>>
>>23975268
>inside a super puritan soceity, it will go out of business in a quick manner.
The staunchest puritans tend to be hypocrites themselves, which eventually provokes a liberal reaction against said hypocrisy, which devolves into rampant libertinism, which leads to a puritanical reaction, which is eventually exposed as rife with hypocrisy.... It's an endless cycle.

I already write softcore-ish erotica and it has been my pipe dream to publish my own print publication, with photos of hot naked girls (I have a nice camera) and similar writing to what I already published, fiction, poetry maybe, essays. I wouldn't want it as broad as Playboy's topics, but still.

They got Jimmy Carter to do an interview in 1976, during his Presidential campaign, in which he confessed to lusting after women who were not his wife

>Political disaster ensued. Rosalynn Carter was suddenly being asked whether she trusted her husband. The fallout, in Carter’s words, “nearly cost me the election.”

They really are. I read 'The essential Mcluhan' which included an interview playboy had with him. It's not tippidy top intellectualese, but it's bloody close.

Genuinely impressed. This is the cool sort of stuff that the internet and hyperspecialism has killed. Why tittilate yourself to softcore? Why read moderately intelligent discussion? Shouldn't we just go whole hog?

It's pleasing in an old timey relaxing sense.

In the early days they literally had two or three pages of nudity and the rest of it was filled with articles. Go search for the archives.
