Playboy may have lost its marbles in a reasonable way!

[Ned TrentParticipant 4894]

Hiya guys…

Now I know the latest news on Playboy abolishing fully nude pics from early next year in conjunction with this headline I chose for the topic will come across at least provocative if not to say controversial, but at the end of the day I look at it this way:

If even Hugh Hefner meanwhile seems to have realized that pure sex and nudity no longer sells that well as it used to (never minding the presumed approval by feminists or even rad fems leaving that out of the point for a few seconds, seriously!), then what signal does that give out to any other advertising execs world wide…? Also, since most of us oppose the idea of loads and loads of women using only their pussies to get whatever they want to get (resources and attention and boat loads of them!!!) this move of the magazine may well be quite a smart one in the long run. This is worth discussing, providing we leave all the feminists and their views on it completely out of it, going our own way.

As controversial as this topic probably turns out to be and as much tuna smell I may well get for this by putting the subject up in this kind of light, I am indeed ready to take that risk, even if it ends up in our litter box…

Anyway here is the fresh article (do have a good and thorough read) and like I said bear in mind the underlying messages “sex no longer sells well…” as well as the other one “full nudity meanwhile is considered yesterday’s news…” when entering the discussion, cheers:

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body.

I read this before..and all I could think of was that with clothes on..the spreads would require less photoshop work to make some of those girls actually attractive. Less post editing work..reduction on cost per pic..spread over a year that’s a fair amount of money saved.

Long time ago I did the coding for a couple of women who wanted to do an adult fetish website. We sat down and while I was designing and showing them their competition I told them my observations.

1) don’t try to compete in the gutter porn you see some women doing. You cant compete with a broad who inserts 1 liter coke bottles in her Hoo Hah.
2) expect that there will be credit card charge backs.
3) Explore all sorts of fetishes with your customers. New stuff will keep them coming back.
4) I don’t f~~~ those I work with.

They listened and sometimes there wasn’t even nudity but they kept a nice customer base and were pulling in 8 grand a month each, in profit.

Example fetishes: Balloon hugging, smoking, high heels (foot fetish), drooling fetish, corset fetish, electric fetish, stockings fetish, and so on. I am sure they hit about 100 or more fetishes.

In 5 years I made a pile of money, and they made a ton. One went back to college (paid in cash) and the other went off to travel the world. (last I heard she gave up her US citizenship and is now a Brit.)

Most of the time they were only half nude and the customers loved it. Its not always JUST a naked woman that lights a man up.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

they still make magazines? they’re copying fhm or fmh which doesn’t do nudes either.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

You hit the nail on the head. There’s tons of options out there. Who wants to pay to look at some photoshopped stuck up c~~~?

It’s going to be tough for playboy to adapt though. I think they need to go after the “amateur look” and hard.

I always preferred ‘suggested’ nudes and boudoir sets.

Women with the right attire for the occasion are far far sexier.

I’ve shot porn, nude and underwear. Only one got the little chap happy.

Once the gift is unwrapped …. it’s no longer a gift.

Who cares about the nude photos in playboy……

The jokes were the best part of the magazine.

Shit Tested, Cunt Approved.

I can see virtually all of you do get my point: ignoring or possibly even fighting the overinflated “pussy factor” especially so in advertising and/or sales figures. At the end of the day there’s always and has always been the double edged sword to beauty (which in truth is only as skin deep anyway as they say; not even to mention any tools such as photoshop in that very context) and that’s just the way it is as a undeniable fact…

I guess still images can’t beat HD videos. More so now that smartphones are just as easy on-the-go as the mags I used to find at foreman’s drawers at construction sites I worked part-time in my teens.

At this point they can sell perfumed toilet paper to moderate success. Playboy has earned its name and place in our culture.

I am sad to see it go but think this may be a smart business decision because –
1. without nudity, the magazine could be sold in more outlets.
2. It will get people talking about the brand.

“sex no longer sells well…” as well as the other one “full nudity meanwhile is considered yesterday’s news…”
I believe it’s too little too late- the idolatry and straight up worship of the female in these civilizations has gone too far, has damaged the core economics, the family, the children, and in turn, fundamental man/woman beliefs.
Who here thinks for one minute, that women is a worthy creature? No one.
Playboy cannot change, at all, what women have truly become, and this site is the new
direct result of this societal change.
Men come to talk, plan and think about their real life, AWAY from most despicable women- Playboy magazine inspired men to come and read and think (with comedy, insight articles, fashion, etc…..
The new Playboy now is Pinterest, there is more fetish porn (with and without nudity) available with links to real porn. And truly at the prices, does anyone buy a magazine anymore?
One cannot undue what has been seen and heard. One cannot go back to the past. Mgtow knows that well.
The PLAYBOY King is dead, long live the new King.

Playboy have a talent for making every woman look exactly the same. The hair, faces, bodies, it’s like the same woman all the time but with a different name. The airbrushing removes all the individuality from the women, that said when I saw some of their Playboy Mansion shows I couldn’t help but notice how average looking the girls were so there might be a reason for that.

I don’t think this will save them, Playboy is an old product in a world where people like new shiny things. Also nude women are free online and magazines are a dying breed.
