Is Playboy Magazine Pornography ?

#2. Yep,
Well just the pictures...... and the jokes...... and most of the ads.......

Playboy is art. Art which my barber has for me while I wait for my turn....

that is not a photo is it?

It is a photograph of a painting. So yes it is a photo and according to your definition pornography. Prude.

Magazine St. Barber Cesar is the man....

 

[SirIsaacNewton]

you're twisting words friend

hundred year old art is quite different than photographs of living girls showing off what god gave them for a few dollars so people can masturbate

Well the only requirements for masturbation are coordination and a good imagination. It doesn't require finally photographed women being displayed on glossy paper.


A woman's figure tastefully photographed isn't obscene. It is beautiful. I can agree with provocative but saying it is obscene is ridiculous. Are you one of those guys that walks by a mother breastfeeding in public and is disgusted?

Pornography is in the eyes of the beholder.

This, but I have got to admit, Playboy can go either way. Not every photo. Some of it is porn, but some of it is art. I flipped through one of Spec's playboys and saw a woman with her back towards the camera holding a bouquet of pink tulips against the small of her back. Completely nude, nothing but her buttcheeks showing.

Now this isn't a lezzie post, but the woman had an ass to beat all feminine ass. That photo was drop dead gorgeous. It's been *years* since I've seen it. Circa 1997, 1998. And hands down it is the only nude photo I remember to this day and it was Playboy.

It's also worth mentioning Playboy has scored the coup to photograph some of our most respected actresses. I'm not talking the recent actresses, but Jane Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford (one of the last "greats")


edit to add: In relations to Bayoushooter: anything nude is considered porn. It's a harder limit than private viewing. NSFW should be respected here. I don't flinch at nude art. If you have body parts spread it's porn IMO. But for the purposes of this website, there's a non issue. Nudity - bad unless it's premium section.

If you can't look at it in the company of your mother, grandmother, young children.... Etc.

 

[SirIsaacNewton]

are you one of those guys that walks by a mother breastfeeding in public and is aroused?


to each his own.

You didn't answer the question. My answer to your question is no I am not aroused I am happy to see a mother breastfeeding her child since it is the healthiest option....

Breastfeeding is natural. However there is a certain time and place you don't flop out leaking engorged boob to God, his favorite bishop, the entire parish and everybody else.


Blankets are everybody's friend.

so am I, but to me, it was a rather ludicrous comparison in the first place.

Agree 100% but you would be surprised how many women when asked by a physician why they are not breastfeeding reply with because my boyfriend, husband, friends, etc think it is gross. So I don't breast feed. It is idiotic.

I really don't think so IMO it is rooted in the same strange prudishness. Breasts are designed to attract mates and feed young doesn't matter what they are doing at anyone moment if you find them obscene they are offensive. Seems kinda strange to me....

NO

Playboy is not porn-o-graffy

Your computer is a lot like your TV...you no ??? The knob thing ??

Your computer is a lot like your TV...you no ??? The knob thing ??

and therein lies the root of the problem these discussions are based on. the images were uploaded to the public gallery and plastered all over almost every thread. if the risqué pics would have been limited to the premium section, in a thread titled 'boob of the day', or 'gratuitous nudity', then as you suggest, you would know what you might be seeing when you clicked on something there, but that wasn't the case.

hey, I had several deals with fred (snookie) and would even say that we're friends, but rules is rules.

 

[jbonnette]

writings, pictures, films, etc, designed to stimulate sexual excitement

: the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement

Seems pretty simple.

It is pretty simple. I find it ridiculous that some people cant call a spade a spade. More classy and artsy than other porn on the market? Arguably so. To those who say it's not porn... have you ever been sexually excited by the nudity or writings within?

 

[Sin-ster]

If Blue Nude is porn, then my girlfriend must be a keeper. She requested a large canvas print (that I purchased), and now has it hanging over the bathtub.

Are the photos in Playboy pornographic? For the most part, yes.

How does that relate to the Snookie situation? I have no blinking clue.

So what you are saying is that Cindy Crawford was a great actess. . . okay

 

[Suburbazine]

No, you can't post playboy pics here either. This seems like an underhanded attempt to justify Snookie again.

No, I was surprised by the diversity of opinions on the "Snookie" thread, so I am just trying to establish some baseline amongst this group as to what they think constitutes "pornography".

I always thought that the depiction of sex acts, anticipation of sex acts, or degrading behavior was "pornograpy".

I personally never considered simple nudity as pornography. Especially not the "tasteful" depiction of beautiful adult female nudity.

Wonder why GOD made them so beautiful, if HE never intended for us to look ?

BTW: I have two adult daughters and six grand daughters; ages three through forty-six.

Carry-on; this is enlightening AND amusing !

Who would consider the Venus de Milo pornography?
