Penthouse Founder Bob Guccione Dies The founder of Penthouse magazine, Bob Guccione, died yesterday, October 20, at age 79. Not quite Hustler and definitely not Playboy, Penthouse nonetheless made Guccione millions of dollars and made millions of men quite happy on a monthly basis for many years. A legacy that probably won't be repeated in the current age of the 'net. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I remember when Penthouse first hit the newsstands. They went on to give Playboy a good run for the money. Guccione also dropped Hefner a few notches on the Babe-conquering scoreboard. It's sad he ultimately lost his magazine empire and later developed some grave financal woes. He was a brilliant Publisher. Edited on Oct 21, 2010, 03:53pm | |

At 79 I guess he'd led a full life. He did some good work in his day. Bob Former PornUsers Senior Administrator Now at: MyPorn.com "To get your ideas across use small words, big ideas, and short sentences."-John Henry Patterson | |

Penthouse was the first skin mag that I ever saw that showed pubes. It was a step forward. And in those days, women with fake tits were pretty rare, too, btw. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

Breaking the commandment to refrain from stealing, I "borrowed," on extended "loan," a stack of Penthouse from a cousin when I was in my early teens. That would be the early 1980s. This was my first real exposure to porn, and to naked women in general. These were a slice of heaven for me, and started me on a long road that continues today. In high school I discovered a seedy second-hand book store where the owner didn't care who he sold stuff to, so I bought every Penthouse he had. A buddy and I would co-finance and started a two-lad, socialist porn-sharing network. Or as we call them in Canada, a co-operative. Penthouse remained a favorite for years. I bought an issue maybe ten years ago and it was apparent they were chasing Larry Flynt in that the magazine's photo shoots had gone very hardcore. I'm not opposed to hardcore, but that seemed out of place in Penthouse, which to me had been the perfect blend of class and perversion. With excellent journalism thrown in too. (I recall an article by South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu once.) More recently, I bought an issue and they seemed to be targeting magazines like Details: very softcore and very boring. I have no idea what point I'm making, except to say that Bob Guccione was a big part of my formative years and I'm thankful for that. And I'm not a serial killer because of it. Thanks Bob, even though I stole and wanked because of you, both I learned in Sunday school, are sins. And to this day, I can't imagine that I actually convinced myself that my cousin wouldn't miss a stack of skin mags.  | |

I might mention, I have a collection of Playboy Mags dating back to the '60s. They're all in my attic... Anybody interested? Opps! 'jus kiddin', Kahn | |

I only added that because I am a member of the Canadian military and one of our own just confessed to being a panty-stealing, sex-crazed serial murderer. I'm just saying... He was a Colonel. I'm a lowly captain and have never gone beyond panty stealing. | |

 But does pantie snatching even count as stealing--aren't you just gathering evidence?  No, I don't think porn--of any kind--can turn you into a serial killer, whether sex-crazed or not. (Sorry, but you'll have to do that yourself.) It's just that if you're sex-crazed, then you're probably going to be seeking out porn as part of your jollies anyways, hence why so many sex criminals have been known to be fans. Same reason why violent movies don't simply create murderers, but violent people will seek them out. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Well, what happened with the mag happened this year with the website. There's loads more of hardcore, even the photoset area. And the video section is now updating 2 or more times a day with full-scene fuck videos. I wouldn't mind if it hadn't turned so completely to hardcore so often. I didn't sign up (for a fucking year, yes, stupid me) for that much fucking in the photo dept. And the women aren't the glam darlings of yesteryear; they're mostly fake-titted, tatted-up slags. What the site needs is good shot of penicillin and a re-re-think content wise. But I doubt we'll be seeing that. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |
