PLAYGIRL Magazine to Relaunch Next Week After Years Absence. Will Kohler 2 days ago 1 145 Less than a minute

PLAYGIRL magazine originally published for women but who also had a large gay fanbase will relaunch next month after a four year absence.

The (ehmm) legendary publication which ran from 1973 to 2016 will relaunch is this coming Monday, October 26.

Playgirl‘s new editor Jack Lindley-Kuhns has said that he” “will unveil a modern mold” for the magazine this month — a mold that looks beyond a simple state of undress. Sure, the infamous centerfold will make its comeback, but in a far more decadent way.

Playgirl, according to their new publisher, “represents an open message that eroticism has no gender right now, and no sexual tendency, and Playgirl is pure eroticism on paper to take home. It’s a fantasy. The magazine was focused on the idea of desire, but desire in every topic they touch—in the environment, health, politics. It’s a magazine about desire.”

Playgirl’s Vol. 1, No. 1 appeared in June 1973, featuring Lyle Waggoner as the centerfold. Other early centerfolds included George Maharis, Don Stroud, Christopher George, Fabian Forte, Peter Lupus and professional athlete Jim Brown.

There has been no word about who the first centerfold will be.

Oh, so it’s for autogynephiles with pregnancy fetishes:

[quote] There’s also ​Playgirl​’s Heroes​, profiling 10 female activists including ​...Raquel Willis​, Black transgender activist, and Alicia Garza​, activist, writer and Black Lives Matter co-creator.

[quote] As for the photography, there’s work such as “Power. Play.” by Harley Weir, showcasing the 21st century’s paradigm shift....and The New Sexy by Myla Dalbesio, challenging outdated ideas of beauty.

[quote] But unlike the original, which was criticized for the lack of diversity in its pages, the magazine’s approach is “gender- and trans-inclusive, intergenerational and strives to reflect the diverse, dynamic array of women’s experiences.” “I’m really proud of how diverse our body types are in the issue — whether it’s in the centerfold or in fashion,” said Lindley Kuhns.

Of course not, R17! Correcting what others write is a micro- and macro-aggression, an oppressive symbol of the white straight male Western culture of oppression that asserts that some things are "correct" and others "incorrect".

Really, you should know this by now. Check your privilege!

It's very transphobic for this magazine to have put a non-Black-Trans-Woman on the cover of the first issue and literal violence to taunt brave, stunning trans women by showing a pregnancy they can't even have until cis women are forced to donate their uteruses to the most oppressed people on Earth.

Dataloungers love to say this despite the fact that it is not true. There is a strong correlation between autogynephilia and gynandromorphophilia, and we have a famous example of this fact: Caitlyn Jenner, who, since making her transition, has only dated other trans women.

by Anonymousreply 80October 27, 2020 9:49 PM

R68, I think people would buy if, as in the early days, it featured naked male celebrities, but I can’t imagine that happening nowadays. Men who are willing to be naked for publicity are already doing it in other venues, and actors hoping for a serious career won’t do naked photo spreads. It was a brief novelty in the early/mid-‘70s that can’t be revived in the current climate.

R85, I agree. Where are guys like that today? It's not like there's no market for models who are masculine without being tatted-out overblown monstrosities and who look, for want of a better word, respectable. In fact, such men do bare all on Reddit, although often without showing their face.

One problem, exemplified by this this idiotic idea, is that too many porn-makers like to pretend their making "erotic art". They want to be transgressive and avant-garde. Meanwhile, 99% of porn consumers just want attractive naked guys attractively photographed or filmed.
