Just to spice things up a little bit and prove to you all that Timbo
isn`t a narrowminded right-wing zealot who doesn`t want to ad-
mit that he`s flesh and blood and likes looking at naked women,
i thought i`d play a bit on an email which i recieved presumably
as a joke from a middle aged gent a few weeks back asking me
to do a Lost Treasures blog on the `old` Penthouse Magazine
before ultra-conservative censorship and the feminist lobby
in Australia turned it into as this gentleman rightfully point-
ed out `a glorified lingerie magazine`. I am a single male of
36 years of age, i`ve always been single, so i`m not even go-
ing to attempt to make out that i haven`t looked at quite a
few nude girlie magazines over the past 20 or so years, i`d
have to say i`ve looked at hundreds, if not a thousand, not
that i have looked at too many in the last few years. When i
was buying Penthouse mags as a man in my late teens and
early 20`s, it showed the lot and left nothing to the imagina-
tion, dont ask me to explain that any further please. Not for
a minute did i feel that my basic fundamental sense of hav-
ing decent morals was degraded by my purchase of a Pent-
house or another mens magazine once every fortnight or so.
We are all human, and men in particular are more physical-
ly orientated in sexuality terms, and especially when we are
young and our hormones are all over the shot and changing
our physiology, both men and women should be able to run
with their desire to read any publication which displays pic-
tures of nude people without having the government and all
the stiff upper lip ultra-right wing brigade raining down on
the party by deciding which `open leg` shots are appropri-
ate and which ones aren`t. Since anyone can remember as
far as i`m concerned, Penthouse, and i presume Playboy &
and most other mens magazines, has become very unpro-
vocative and boring, i totally agree with the gent who sent
me the email. They`re not cheap anymore, they`re worth
well over ten dollars these days & to be totally honest you
see a lot more boobs and what`s below the boobs in a mag
like Picture or People, particularly the former. I am not an
advocate for hardcore pornography, but i believe that any
person of both sexes should be able to view the genitals of
the opposite sex, or the same sex if they`re happen to be
inclined that way, provided the imagery they see in a mag
does not promote sexual violence or sado-masochist activ-
ity in any form. To me, that`s when a healthy form of sex-
ual expression becomes evil and/or just plain sick. There
is nothing wrong to me in looking at a spreadeagled wom-
an, who gave consent to being photographed and got paid
good money as well, provided the imagery respects some
limits and isn`t explicit to the point where more than just
their external sexuality is on display. And the government
and the thought police shouldn`t be the ones to tell adults
what they can read in way of soft porn mainstream maga-
zines, and how much below the belt we see of consenting
models who pose nude by their own free will. Censorship
is just a lame excuse which the moral hypocrites of socie-
ty use to force their convictions down everyones throats.
It is a powerful and influential lobby which obviously has
a very big influence over government decision making &
legislation. The fact of life is that people either have a pe-
nis or they have a vagina, and you can never subdue ba-
sic human nature without causing people to have prob-
lems either of a physical, sexual, psychological or hor-
monal nature. Indirectly at the least, stopping grown
men especially from reading a `naughty book` which
shows a lot of `pussy` is only going to divert his appe-
tite for fantasy and sexual stimulation of the sub-con-
science somewhere else. It`s going to happen anyway
so why attempt to police what grown adults view in a
magazine such as Penthouse or Playboy. Rather than
having censorship and policing what the mens maga-
zines are showing, the government and the sanctimo-
nious do-gooders who are trying to have a total ban
placed on these publications should instead be more
concerned with rounding up all the rapists and pedo-
philes out there who are escaping the justice system
with just a slap on the wrist or no slap at all. They`re
the real menaces of society, not a man over the age of
18 who toddles off to a newsagency to buy a stick book.
