Back in the day Penthouse was always better than Playboy

Penthouse was the first legit skin mag to break the pubic hair barrier. Up until they did it, no one but underground publications showed that sort of thing.

RIP Mr. Guccione. Penthouse was the first girlie mag that I managed to get a peek at when I was a kid (thank you for not hiding them very well, Dad ) and it really opened my eyes. Thank you for the entertaining magazine and for producing a film that is one of my favourite trashy guilty pleasures ("Caligula") .

Penthouses were the first girlie magazines I saw back in the day. My dad kept them hidden underneath his stack of Sports Illustrateds.

Loved Wicked Wanda the best.
