When it began, it sold itself as trying to as more explicit men's mag. It showed full nudity as opposed to T&A of Playboy, and did so with smearing a layer of vaseline on the lenses for that hazy, soft focus glow on the women. It also tried for the non-collegiate market of regular white collar and mostly blue collar guys. Of course it was all about the the late '60s, early '70s feel good thing going on - group sex, multiple partners, escapism. I mean, look at pics of the guy who made it, Bob Guccione. He looks like a bad knockoff of Tom Jones.
But with even more blantant stuff like Hustler, Penthouse lost that niche. It tried to go farther by showing explicit sex on the pages but this came at the time when people starting buying computers and logging in to BBSs. In fact, the Internet has pretty much marginalized that type of magazine like VCRs (and now DVDs) did for the local XXX theater. Also, general interest men's mags are showing just as much skin as the early Playboy mags.
Some things have their time, and now it is past time for Penthouse. Unless it will reinvent itself and find a larger niche of readers.

LOL. Why actually, yes. I did my senior honor's psychology thesis paper on deviant behavior. It was about changing social mores (beliefs) and how BBS is actually changing people's opinions on sex - because you do it privately now, instead of being out in public. There isn't much societal shame involved if things are being seen or done in the privacy of your own house.Originally posted by: hopeless879

I had interviews with the marketing director for Vivid Flims, Ron Jeremy, and Candida Royale. Plus, I gotta an 'A' out of it. Also, if need be, I can make this into a Master's Thesis with little or no work. P0rn is good.
