Playgirl was an American magazine that featured general interest articles, lifestyle and celebrity news, in addition to nude or semi-nude men. In the 1970s and 1980s, the magazine printed monthly and was marketed mainly to women, although it had a significant gay male readership.[1]
The magazine was founded in 1973[2] by Douglas Lambert during the height of the feminist movement as a response to erotic men's magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse that featured similar photos of women. In 1977, Lambert sold Playgirl to Ira Ritter who took over as publisher. The magazine covered issues like abortion and equal rights, interspersed with sexy shots of men, and played a pivotal role in the sexual revolution for women.[3]

From March 2009 to February 2010, Playgirl appeared only online. The magazine returned to print as a sometime quarterly beginning with its March 2010 issue. The final print issue was Winter 2016. As of 2016, the magazine had only approximately 3,000 subscribers.[4]
In 1986, Playgirl filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection[5] and was subsequently acquired by Drake Publishers, Inc.[6] The magazine was published by Drake from 1986 until 1993 when Drake was merged into Crescent Publishing Group, Inc.[7][8]
In August 2000, Crescent was charged by the Federal Trade Commission with over $180 million of online credit card fraud, much of which was alleged by the FTC to have taken place on the playgirl.com website.[9][10] In November 2001, for one of the then largest FTC settlements involving online credit card fraud, Crescent agreed to pay $30 million in refunds and to post a $2-million bond before it could continue to operate its websites. As a further condition for the settlement, Crescent principals Bruce A. Chew and David Bernstein were barred by the FTC from operating adult entertainment websites unless first posting bonds of $500,000 each.[11] In December 2001, Crescent Publishing Group, Inc. changed its name to Blue Horizon Media, Inc.[12]
In August 2008, the magazine announced that it would cease publication of its print edition as of the January 2009 issue. After that point, the magazine planned to continue with an online-only edition.[15] The last print issue was published in January/February 2009.[3]
In February 2010, Playgirl announced it would re-launch issuing a print edition of the magazine. The first such issue would be the March 2010 issue available on newsstands as of February 22, 2010, carrying on its cover Levi Johnston, shot by longtime Playgirl photographer Greg Weiner.[16] The magazine was issued approximately quarterly after that time.[17][18]
The magazine was mainly marketed to heterosexual women. Despite this, in 2003, Playgirl's then-editor-in-chief Michele Zipp admitted the magazine also attracted much gay readership. "It's 'Entertainment for Women' because there's no other magazine out there that caters to women in the way we do," she said. But she went on adding: "We love our gay readers as well, and the gay readership [of the magazine] is about 30%."[23] In the same year, Mark Graff, President of Trans Digital Media, the brand management firm for Playgirl TV, stated that a large percentage of Playgirl's readership are gay men.[24]
Throughout the history of the magazine, Playgirl has featured male frontal nudity except for the early issues in 1973, and 1987 when John Paul became the year's first full frontal centerfold in November after ten months of non-nude photo spreads. In 1980, 21-year-old model Geoff Minger became the first centerfold to display a full erection in the magazine's historic January 1980 issue.[25]
In a 2000 paper published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, researchers examined 115 male centerfold models in Playgirl magazine from 1973 to 1997 and noted that the Playgirl centerfold models have become increasingly muscular over time.[26]
Playgirl has not been generally successful in persuading many prominent male celebrities to disrobe, nor have any of its nude models risen to major stardom in films. The magazine was somewhat more successful in getting the Hollywood actors to disrobe for layouts in its first years of publication. Those who have posed nude or semi-nude include:
The magazine has a monthly section entitled "Celeb Nudes" featuring photographs of various celebrities (including Leonardo DiCaprio) from movie scenes, usually nude. In the case of the infamous nude Brad Pitt photos, candid shots of him appeared in another celebrity-oriented section named "Tabloid." The magazine has often used photographs of movie stars and celebrities on the cover, but due to publicity agents' restrictions on male nudity for their Hollywood clients, these stars are usually just interviewed or profiled and do not appear in a nude layout.

Two preview issues of Playgirl were published with racecar driver Mike Hiss in the January 1973 issue; and the Hager Twins, Jim and John, from TV's Hee Haw in the February 1973 issue. Then Vol. 1, No. 1 appeared in June 1973, featuring Lyle Waggoner as the centerfold.3 representation of Japan Hikaru Kurosaki Tetsuo Kurata And Hidetoshi Nishijima Dirk Shafer, one of the gay men featured later produced a comic mockumentary titled Man of the Year in which he discusses balancing being gay with working as a sex symbol.Representing our country as the land of the rising Sun Japan. Hikaru Kurosaki Tetsuo Kurata And Hidetoshi Nishijima Besides Shafer, other gay models to appear in the magazine included Scott Merritt, Playgirl's 30th-anniversary centerfold, who revealed in the August 19, 2003 issue of The Advocate that he is gay.[23]
Just over ten years since its final print issue Playgirl magazine has come back to life, with a renewed focus on the original, feminist slant that defined it in the 1970s and 80s. The first new issue of the magazine, which will now come out once every year, is helmed by a mostly female editorial team, and includes stories that cover everything from mental health, female activists, the patriarchy and parenting to female friendship and BDSM.
I use to make 1/6 scale Playgirl vintage magazines (from 1975/1978. The years are important because of the way men were photographed : After these years, it become more provocative). In order not to shock the sensibility of certain adults/ young users, every photos were censored : the thumbnail AND the others photos. Etsy deactivated all of the 1/6 scale Playgirl magazines. The reason given by a shop manager was that Playgirl and Playboy are both prohibited on Etsy because they are both considered like pornography. Etsy prohibits pornography. I've tried to explain that it was not pornography : This shop manager explained that Etsy's rules were the same for everybody. Last week, I saw 1/6 scale Playgirl magazines on Etsy. I've made a report : nothing. I've made a second report : nothing. I've made a third report : nothing. I've made a fourth report today. This is not the first time I make a report : Etsy is quite fast to react. Not this time. Why ? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE RULES ARE NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY.
@kerso Playgirl has never complained about these magazines because they haven't run across your shop yet and reported it and Etsy hasn't caught you in their get rid of pornography campaign or no one has complained yet. But 1970s magazines are still under copyright and reproducing them in any form is not legal. Sorry.
Thank you ! I know that items for adults are a sensitive subject. I understand that. I've seen harness for women, and many stuff like that... The thumbnails are not really censored in most of the time. It's curious to see that Etsy consider that women can wear harness but are not allowed to read Playgirl magazines.... Hem. It's just a point of view...

I'm very surprised to see your message. I've read to policy of Etsy many times : drawings like the one that you describe are allowed. I try to understand the policy of Etsy but it seems that sometimes, items are shadowbanned or deactivated without a real reason. I'm not able to say if I was a poor victim or if it was a my mistake. Because on Etsy policy, you can find the way that mature items have to be sold. I respected everything and more. But I didn't know that Playgirl and Playboy are prohibited on Etsy. I thought it was just nudity. There is a description of what porn is according Etsy on "the Rules of the House" : Vintage Playgirl are really soft... comparing with all the photos of harness that I've seen on Etsy. I'm sorry but It's difficult to understand that someone like Robert Redford or Jane Fonda were on the cover of Playgirl which is the only feminist, gay friendly magazine of the 70', and now Etsy says that this magazine is pornographic.
Thank you, I do not spend all my time like this. I was surprised to see this 1/6 scale Playgirl magazine because it's the only item relating to Playgirl on Etsy. Everything else has disappeared. I know what I'm talking about... I hope that nobody will receive a mail like this : Etsy telling you are selling pornography. It is very insulting. I consider that there is a gap between nudity and pornography. But I've seen that the Michelangelo's David was considered as a porn statue by some people... Should I be proud to share a common point with Michelangelo ?... with my 1/6 scale vintage Playgirl magazines... it sounds quite (very) ridiculous.
As usual, Sevigny needs very little to exude sexiness, and here, as she gazes down Sorrenti's softly-lit lens, the handlebar moustaches and plethora of penises of the heralded title feel a long way away from the original format of the magazine. Playgirl first launched as a subtle take on nudity in 1973. Serving as a feminist response to mens magazines like Playboy, the magazine featured hairy, naked centrefold of cigar smoking men alongside their somehow tasteful erections in an attempt to further the womens liberation movement and counter the objectification women face. be457b7860
