XXXtortion: reading it for the articles

byjkkelley Jan 13, 2004
118 Helpfuls 119 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 110 Comments
Pros good reading, occasional celebrity nude
Cons dull pictures, outrageous subscription policy--buy only at newsstand
Recommended it? No

We took Playboy for two years, and it's over now. We enjoyed reading it most of the time, but we've never seen such business practices from a magazine in all our lives.

The sample issue used for this review was labeled the 'December 2003' issue. It probably arrived in early October, which... Read full review »

Cons Excessive advertisements; the stigma that comes with buying this in small town book shops
Recommended it? Yes

Yes, you read that right.
I am a woman, and this is my perspective of Playboy Magazine. What you will read here is not your typical man-bashing, media-hating, closed-minded review. If that's what you would like to read, please look elsewhere. What you will read is an honest, open-minded,... Read full review »

Classy Men's Magazine

Pros Beautiful women, wonderful articles and celebrity interviews
Cons Expensive and too many advertisements
Recommended it? Yes

My earliest memory of Playboy magazine was when I was 10 years old. I walked in on my three older brothers who found my father's secret hiding spot for his magazines. They were all sitting on the bed thumbing through the magazines and "pitching tents" while looking at naked ladies. I giggled and... Read full review »

Peeking at Playboy

Pros funny, popular, varied content
Cons self-serving and somewhat offensive
Recommended it? No

Playboy is, of course, a magazine written for men. I, of course, am not a man. I can hear the readers crying "Foul!" all the way from here. If the target audience of Playboy is men, how can a woman write a fair, useful review? Does it matter what a woman thinks about Playboy if a women don't ... Read full review »

Pros Great content
Cons Lots of ads
Recommended it? Yes

Like nearly every other male in his early teens, I discovered Playboy and was immediately taken by the beautiful women in it's pages.
As I grew older and was legally allowed to read Playboy, I slowly discovered that the magazine actually had content. The articles and reviews were intelligent... Read full review »

Pros stories are interesting, great magazine
Cons none at all...
Recommended it? Yes

Ever since I was about 10, I can remember my oldest brother Chuck getting a Playboy magazine every month. Honestly he had stacks of them next to his bed that he used for a nightstand. (haha) I think that goes on more often than not.

But really Playboy magazine is a legend. It has been... Read full review »

Pros Excellent articles by top writers. Artsy type photos.
Cons I could do without the photos, but guys like them.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had a love/hate relationship with Playboy Magazine. Love to read it. Hate to go in and buy it. Really, that hasn't presented much of a problem. Though I've never made an actual purchase (unless you count buying subscriptions for male friends), it's not that hard to find copies of this magazine... Read full review »

Pros Great articles, funny cartoons, best air-brushed photos in the business
Cons Not for children under 10
Recommended it? Yes

When I was a young girl of about 10 and scrounging around the couch cushions for wayward change, I discovered my first issue of Playboy. I didn't know what to think at first but I just had to read it. What kid wouldn't?

I looked through the magazine for a very long time that day. There... Read full review »
