If I had the body I'd pose for Playboy but I don't think they'll be banging down my door anytime soon. I see absolutely nothing wrong with a woman posing for Playboy. I don't think that posing nude makes you less of a woman or degrades an individual. Some people are very proud of their bodies and love to show them off. I'm not going to get into the discussion of what is "art" and what is not but I see no difference between a nude body in Playboy and a nude painting hanging in an art gallery...both have been airbrushed or had their flaws fixed
People need to get over being ashamed of the human body. My God we basically all have the same parts...besides the basic male/female differences and the fact that some people are a little bit more enhanced than others.
Yes, I do see a difference between Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler. All I can say is that some magazines display more tasteful photographs.
If one of my sisters posed for Playboy I would be very supportive of her as would the majority of my sorority. We wouldn't regard her as a slut.
And yes, some people do actually read Playboy for the articles. I have read Playboy before. My dad had a gay male friend that picked up a Playboy while he was at his house and started reading it. My dad asked him what he was looking at (since he was gay) and my dad's friend told him that he liked to read if for the articles and because a lot of the male models in Playboy were his friends.
If you don't like any form of nudity nobody is making you look at it or buy it...so get over it!
