Playboy is on our side! - Page 2

Yep, the articles are better than the pictures nowadays

Also, don't forget - Hustler (while a bit smuttier) is on our side too and has been since 1979.

Now if they can just convince all those young 18 year old girls to stop inflating themselves with hideous breast implants, then we'd be really getting somewhere!

I want to give a copy to my brother in law as well as keep some lying around 'just in case.'
Liquor shops usually have them. Either they will be in the far back of the magazine rack, or they have them behind the counter.

Playboy does have "Perfect 10" magazine, which only features women who have not had any sort of cosmetic surgery.

I want to send them a thank you e-mail! That's so great that they're discouraging circ!!

I think any major bookstore will have Playboy. I know Waldenbooks carried it when I worked there several years ago. That's so cool that they're anti-circ! Yay!

This is great, because it will reach men who wouldn't consider changing their views otherwise. Yeah, Playboy!

I can just hear myself now, "Honey, you have my permission to purchase this month's issue of Playboy."

I just looked in the magazine....if you want to write letters thanking playboy for supporting the intact male you can do it via the web at letters.playboy.com or 730 Fifth Avenue NYC,NY 10019

LOL, you're right!! I almost forgot but I remember..."finding" that issue when I was staying with my aunt and uncle when I was about 14. I'll admit, I looked at the pictures first , but I also read that article. It was the first time I had ever seen or heard ANYTHING questioning the practice of circ, and I would have to say it planted the seeds that made me question circ many years later. I think it was called, "The Unkindest Cut."

They may support non-circ in the articles, but do they show intact men with the girls in the pics? Actually, does Playboy show men at all? I haven't seen one in years....

Just wondering how much they really backed up their position.

Playboy doesn't, but playgirl does.

Anyone willing to paste the article here for all of us too shy to buy to read?

If the article is online and not sexually graphic it can be linked with a summary excerpt of approximately 100 words to comply with our copyright rules.

The more publicity the better . . .

Cheers to the Bunny!

Speaking of bunnies, this is way off topic but it's time for my favourite jokes just in time for Easter.

How do you catch a unique Easter bunny?

You 'neak up on it, silly!

How do you catch a tame Easter bunny?

Da tame way, you 'neak up on it, silly!

What do you call a row of bunnies dancing backward?

A receding hare line!

What do you get when you put hot water down a rabbit hole?

Hot Cross Bunnies!


Hope that's not too much religious discussion

That's awesome! Here's what I wrote them:

Quote:
I just want to say THANK YOU for supporting NO infant
circumcision in your latest issue. That totally rocks. I've been giving
my husband the "evil eye" about purchasing Playboy for years, but he now
has my blessing for a permanent subscription! Way to go, Playboy!
I got this back:

Emily:

This is obviously a controversial topic, but we very much appreciate
your comments.

Thanks for your interest in Playboy.

Sincerely,
The Playboy Advisor
I don't really get the response... I wonder if the person who wrote me back is for circ or something.

It sounds like an automated response---that's why it doesn't jive with what you wrote. I think it's important that you wrote and that they probably scan through all the letters received but just can't respond individually to all of them.

: They must be getting a lot of conflicting e-mails

I think it's just a "canned" response meant to fit whatever. I wouldn't doubt it if they've had a lot of protestations from pro-circ's. I would assume that their regular readership is mostly men who are circ'd...and take a higher interest in their own sexuality than the avg. male, so this is something they probably don't want to hear. I have to give Playboy a lot of credit for having the guts to say it.
