I am not sure what the issue is here . . . I am not about to try and circumscribe people's lives by foisting my viewpoints on them or interpreting the Ritual to limit their options of expression.
Playboy pays you to pose for their magazine just like any modeling type magazine does. The difference is you are wearing no clothes versus very little. The pictures in Maxim leave me more tantalized and body conscious because the outfits chosen emphasize sex even more than blatant nudity.
Its like the appeal of a very intense sex movie like 9 1/2 weeks versus blatant porn.
This being said I don't believe we should have the right to impose sanctions on people that are not breaking the law, hurting others, because it violates our comfort zone. Its ok for people do this . . . and not this. This comfort zone will invariably change from person to person.
Playboy is a legitimate magazine that many people have used over the years to launch a modeling or acting career or simply to make extra money. I see no harm in this.
Take care,
James
