Listen up ladies because I've got some important news to report — Playgirl magazine is folding! According to the editor in chief, Nicole Caldwell, Playgirl will stay alive on the web, containing more videos and pictorials with less editorial content, but the last print mag will be the Jan/Feb 09 issue. Now I won't even notice it's missing off the newsstand, but tell me, will the absence of Playgirl affect your monthly reads?

this isn't meant to be rude at all...but weren't the only readers of this magazine gay men? i don't actually know any women who bought it
1I agree with Piksie007. Those were my thoughts exactly.
2i third piksie's comment
3I've never even seen a Playgirl!
4Nope.
I don't like cheese with my cox.
5I knew it existed, but I don't think I've ever read it.
6Won't miss this. Not that excited about seeing naked men yet.
7Piksie beat me to it. Even the cover reads very male to me.
8I thought it was a myth!!! DAMN IT!!!!
9Won't miss it one bit. I was given one as my 18th birthday gift from a close girlfriend and it did nothing for me. I guess that's what happens from years of sketch classes.
10I fourth, fifth... I agree with piksie's comment. There are no women - at least not to my knowledge - that have ever bought a copy. Gay men however... they will miss it.
11I've heard of it but I've never been curious to buy one.
12I've seen one issue of Playgirl and I don't mean to be crude, but I could never figure out what was so exciting about pictures of guys with limp dicks.

14Ack - Sorry about the double post.
15My thoughts exactly, Trixie! My fiance got me one as a joke since we also used to keep random Playboys in the bathroom. It's just... dongs. Dongs laying there, dongs sticking out, dongs everywhere. And there aren't any good jokes like in Playboy!
16I remember one of my friend's had one in high school..and yeah..it was just pictures of penises. I didn't really see the appeal.
17@ brittanyk: you're right. Even in a gay porn there are less penises to see.
And let's face it: the female body is much nicer to look at than the male is. I love men, but naked (full naked, front-naked) it's not *that* great. *shrug*
18i can remember being in 8th grade and being at a slumber party and flipping thru one. there was a girl there who was in a wheelchair, and her mom had thought that she would never get married or whatnot. so her mom always bought her the playgirl mags so she would know what men looked like and she could have her fantasys.
19Playgirl grosses me out! Sorry - I'm not into looking at some random guy's stuff. I guess I can always watch a porn if I want that.
20I echo Bluestar's comment "I thought it was a myth!!! DAMN IT!!!!" I mean I hope I didn't miss anyone good like Johnny Depp, Will Smith,David Beckham,etc!!!!
21I totally agree w/ the comments that this was a gay men's mag! No girls I know can't wait to go home and look at dick at night.
22omg - JennJennnBubba and I were on Playgirl's blog the other night (ugh - that sounds so bad but it was innocent, I swear!) and we found the BEST video of one of their "models" doing the Wii Fit Hula Hoop in his thong. It was awesome. We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more, then cried. I would link you guys but I'm afraid it would get blocked!
23aww so sad. My best guy friend is gonna in Play girl in the November Issue and on the November cover!!!
24I had never even heard of it until now, but it really doesn't sound very appealing.
And I second tyffi's comment: "And let's face it: the female body is much nicer to look at than the male is. I love men, but naked (full naked, front-naked) it's not *that* great. *shrug*".
25by the way, why is it ending? not enough readers I guess from the look of these posts...
26OMG Brina, I was so sending you this link!!!
Don't worry folks, its just a long, weird story about some Playgirl mags from 10+ years ago.
No, I won't be missing it but I will be missing that Wii Fit Hula Guy!!
27I don't really care frankly.
28But I think it's ironic that PlayBOY will probably never go under...
eww.
29I didn't even know that was an actual magazine.
30I just read it for the articles. Ha.
Actually, I don't "get" PlayGirl. My guess is that all of the male models take longer to get ready in the morning than I do, and 80 percent of them are surely gay.
Give me a hot guy mowing the lawn or changing my flat tire any day. And in MAN clothes, not a g-string and stripper dust.
31I knew that it still out there but the only people I know that "read" it are gay men.
32I bought one once and it did nothing for me. My roommate and I flipped through the whole thing making jokes and laughing at it.
33I've heard of it but never actually seen it, so wont miss.
34I liked Playgirl. It had nice articles and the men weren't too shabby on the eyes either
Though I know it was mostly for gay guys. Some women enjoyed the eye candy too!
35GROSS! that man is ugly. i dont find packs hot at all. i like a giant tummy and saggy man breasts. lol kidding. but i like chubby. i dont find thin or muscular attractive at all
