Yet another magazine goes all digital

I can't even tell you the last time I saw a Penthouse magazine for sale at a news stand.

Phew I got nerves there for a second. But so long as Big Dicks is still in print I'm good! :)

It makes sense with lots of subscribers reading these on iPads and other tablets these days.

I let my Playboy, Penthouse, and Club (International?) subscriptions expire back in the 2006-8 timeframe or thereabouts. They started going down hill the first year Maxim magazine was out. The first FEW ISSUES of Maxim (IMO) were better/sexier/edgier than Playboy or Penthouse. Shortly after that, though, even Maxim went to hell.

Too bad.

I find that HILARIOUS, because all the big booty magazines are still physically in circulation. AND they have a good mix of different ethnicities, just so I can shut down the racist remarks before they start. Maybe they should have taken a new angle and attract a new crowd while keeping the old.

In this case, I think you can actually blame free internet porn. Why buy a magazine when you don't even have to leave the house and watch hardcore porn for free?

Just one comment. Penthouse was the first magazine that I saw girl-girl in. And who can forget all the letters to the Penthouse Forum?

Penthouse had thousands of fake, inexplicable " letters " from amputees. Whose idea was that?

^^^especially those amputee letters thought they were so fucking funny

"I never thought this would happen to me but..."

Ah, the fine, fine fiction ;)

BTW, Penthouse had already "bit the dust" once before, the late Bob Guccione ran the whole business into the ground in the early 00's after trying to take the magazine extra hardcore (watersports, really) and missing the bus on media evolution. Out of the bankruptcy the company and the name were parceled out by parts and the magazine became a shadow of its former self. For the print publisher to go online-only was a matter of time IMO.

"Penthouse had thousands of fake, inexplicable " letters " from amputees. Whose idea was that?"

I was never a Penthouse reader but ace humor like that makes me hope they put the fake amputee letters online!

Maybe I should write one for TUSCL! ;)

Playboy, Penthouse...... guess I'll have to sit on the crapper with my tablet now.
