Didn't Penthouse start showing full penetration sometime around '96? I don't have one lying around now to check, but I remember being surprised at the time.

- Yep, full non-simulated penetration is now commonly shown, . . . but very tastefully, of course. When this began, Barnes & Noble, and many other non-adult bookstores that carried Penthouse, moved it back behind the counter, where all men's mags used to be. Playboy generally joined it in exile, for uniformity of policy. And the more respectable bookstores seldom carried Hustler to begin with. ---Michael K. Smith 21:35, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Famous vs infamous - A recent edit changed the description of the September 1984 issue from being "the most infamous" to "the most famous". It's arguably both; but I think the former (which I admittedly wrote) is more true than the latter. The issue did, after all, feature nude pictures of a fifteen year old. MK 20:25, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I think "infamous" is too strong a word here -- I think of it being applied to Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. The Marquis de Sade's writings, perhaps, or even just one of his books, since they were all a little near the knuckle. But just one issue of Penthouse, out of many hundreds that weren't infamous, shouldn't be called that, or at least not to my way of thinking.... If you'd written "One issue of Penthouse has become infamous because of etc...." I'd probably go along with that. 22:01, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
