There are deifinitely a lot worse magazines to be in than Playboy. As far as men’s magazines go, I’d rather thumb through a Maxim. But if you are going to be nude, Playboy is the clear cut choice for a girl.

By the way D. Peace, thanks for the get well wishes! I wish I had your immune system!

Jenny McCarthy and Anna Nicole Smith are two centerfolds who happened to become famous OUTSIDE the world of modelling, but that's not what I'm talking about. Also, most centerfolds that I've ever heard of are in fact college-educated.

I've heard of guys rejecting it because it wasn't filthy ENOUGH. In terms of content, there are as many nude photos of women as their are literary articles, so it's hard to consider PLAYBOY pure smut.</p> mrsmarshall – No, being a centerfold for a few years isn’t a career, but parlaying your success in PLAYBOY into a career in modelling is.

And even if their time in front of a camera is semi-fleeting, at least we agree that most women would be honored to be enshrined when they’re at their youngest and most beautiful.

I’m not a superficial guy, and I respect and admire women beyond outside appearances, but I don’t see any reason that women should be ashamed of their bodies or afraid to use their talents and beauty to their advantage.

Also, it’s worth repeating that PLAYBOY is a lot classier than most magazines that get labeled “porno”. I’ve heard of guys rejecting it because it wasn’t filthy ENOUGH. In terms of content, there are as many nude photos of women as their are literary articles, so it’s hard to consider PLAYBOY pure smut.

Peace, I think you may be attibuting a bit more experience and emotional maturity to women in Playboy. And I wouldn't call being a centerfold for a few prime years a "career"... Jenny McCarthy made it work, and Anna Nichole and a few others have had a few moments of fame, but come on...</p> <p>However, I completely agree that Playboy is completely different on MANY levels from the majority of pornography available today at the local newsstand. Personally, I wish I had photos of myself at 18-24 years of age like the ones in that publication. Now that I'm in my 40s I'd love to remind myself now and then that I used to be a hottie! :-)</p> <p>Amanda is a gorgeous girl, and she should enjoy making some cash off of her gorgeousness as long as it's possible to do so. Lord knows she worked hard to get that body!</p> Okay, D. Peace, I think you may be attibuting a bit more experience and emotional maturity to women in Playboy. And I wouldn’t call being a centerfold for a few prime years a “career”… Jenny McCarthy made it work, and Anna Nichole and a few others have had a few moments of fame, but come on…

Amanda is a gorgeous girl, and she should enjoy making some cash off of her gorgeousness as long as it’s possible to do so. Lord knows she worked hard to get that body!
