In the '70s and '80s, he was a favorite target of the so-called moral right of the country, and he was more than willing to return their volleys in kind. ![]() Under new ownership since 2004, Penthouse began to steer toward a more softcore direction as well.The founder and publisher of the long-running salacious, satirical Hustler magazine and many other sextastic business ventures, Larry Flynt, has lived a life full of public battles, some which he has won, and some that he lost. Penthouse gravitated towards raunchier images, ultimately arriving at hardcore pornography and photographs of women urinating, in the mid-1990s. Playboy positioned itself as the less explicit softcore alternative to be "read for the articles". Įventually, the two magazines moved their content in opposite directions. When Hustler was launched in 1974, it outdid both Playboy and Penthouse in explicitness by showing more graphic photos of the female sex organs. Both went on to become Playmate of the Year, respectively 19. The first Playmate to clearly have the first full frontal nude centerfold was Miss January 1972, Marilyn Cole. A few more glimpses of pubic hair appeared in some later pictorials and centerfolds, but it was not until January 1971 when Liv Lindeland showed clearly visible pubic hair in her pictorial. The first appearance of real pubic hair in Playboy actually occurred in August 1969 in a pictorial featuring dancer/actress Paula Kelly. ![]() With Playboy Playmates, it was usually the case that the pubic area would be obscured by an item of clothing, a leg, or a piece of furniture. Playboy, however, had actually first showed a very slight glimpse of any pubic hair on Melodye Prentiss' centerfold (Miss July 1968), some 15 years after the magazine's introduction. As competition between the two magazines escalated, their photo shoots became increasingly explicit. Playboy started showing wisps of pubic hair about nine months after Penthouse (June 1970). In order to retain its market share, Playboy followed suit, risking obscenity charges, and launching the "Pubic Wars". According to Penthouse magazine's owner Bob Guccione, "We began to show pubic hair, which was a big breakthrough." Due to more liberal European attitudes to nudity, Penthouse was already displaying pubic hair at the time of its U.S. In September 1969 it was launched in the U.S., bringing new competition to Playboy which had dominated the niche since its 1953 debut. Penthouse originated in 1965 in Britain and was initially distributed in Europe. Consequently, the depiction of pubic hair was de facto forbidden in U.S. Mainstream mass-market photography was careful to come close to this line without stepping over it. In 1950s and 1960s United States, it was generally agreed that nude photographs were not pornographic unless they showed pubic hair or genitals. The term was coined by Playboy owner Hugh Hefner. Each magazine strove to show just a little bit more nudity on their female models than the other, without getting too crude. The Pubic Wars, a pun on the Punic Wars, was a rivalry between the American pornographic magazines Playboy and Penthouse during the 1960s and 1970s. 1960s-70s "war" between Playboy and Penthouse magazines ![]()
