The magazine itself isn't bad, nothing ground breaking but can offer an interesting read at times. When I receive a product like this I expect the packaging to be subtle without PLAYBOY labeled everywhere. And for the most part it is. That was until about 7 months into my subscription when I started to receive renewal notices.

The first renewal request I received was titled "URGENT - 3rd notice" with Playboy clearly written on it. Every couple weeks I receive a new one, including my most recent that came in a bright yellow envelope with "SUSPENSION ADVISORY" across the entire front of it and Playboy written up in the corner. I understand the intent is to attract attention to it, but I would at least hope they would carry the same considerations in packaging their magazine to the renewal requests.

I canceled with 4 months left on my subscription just to stop the renewal request spam. I won't be subscribing again.

The magazine offers interesting articles more often than many people imagine. Especially when it comes to science of sexuality, their choices of writers are good and fun.
On the other hand, the photos of young naked girls are repetitive and boring, how many blond girls with artificial lips and boobs can you enjoy looking at? They look all the same, and worst, so digitally "improved" they don't look human most of the time. Too much airbrush work made them look like a clone game character.
To me, the most interesting section in the magazine is the Q & A from the readers, there are so many questions about human behaviors, normal or not. I learned so much about ourselves and what's really going on in the modern America. The answers are most often very specific and helpful, wise and tongue-in cheek fun.

What can I say? I have subscribed to Playboy for over 40 years. Every subject imagineable is likely to be in the magazine eventually. The women are more beautiful than ever, and the interviews are always interesting. No magazine covers more topics than Playboy with insight and intelligence. I particularly enjoy the Playboy advisor and 20 questions.

I've been a reader/subscriber for over 30 years, and still find the magazine exciting, interesting, and very enjoyable/pleasurable. Eventually just about anything of general interest will be covered, the stories and articles are great, and the women are as beautiful as ever. Hef may be getting older but his staff keeps everything cooking at a high temperature. The interview section is one my favorites, and of course, the question and advice sections. Another favorite is the "Sex and Cinema" photo spreads. I'm still waiting for my invitation to the mansion. I'm sure my wife and I would have a wonderful,memorable time.

Playboy is, well, Playboy. Excellent pictorials (including full but not gratuitous nudity) and cartoons beyond compare. The magazine is shrinking from the old days, likely a concession to costs; but still has a lot of content. Their interviews are generally instant classics.
Their very liberal leanings are still quite apparent. A few years ago that was almost enough to get me to cancel after decades; but in the last couple of years, they seem to have diminished the liberal blather considerably making it more enjoyable for me. Some of the articles and stories get rather tedious and long; but I still find it enjoyable reading on balance. It's worth the price.
Oh, and they've copied Esquire a bit now with several pages of mens' fashions. To me, they're comical (a $1,200 sportcoat over a $180 shirt and $60 tie??); but some may actually find them informative.

I ordered this for my husband as a Christmas gift and based on all the previous reviews I ordered it in early Novemeber to arrive in Mid to late December... well it arrived less than 4 weeks later.

On a side note, the magazine insert for has the 1 year subscription for only $12.

I've been using Playboy as a major source of images and text for Collage for....well, a lot of years. I'm always looking for old Playboy's to hack up. Now, before you get that smirk, no I don't use many nudes in my art. If I put one of the beautiful women from Playboy in a piece, the, ahem, private parts are covered with something else....
Why do I use them?? Ink quality, they don't bleed through. Paper quality, they don't bleed through (the exception is those years when Christie Hefner was in charge of the publication -- quality of materials went to....well you know).
Starting a new subscription today!!!!

The articles are well written and interesting most of the time. This is a pretty good magazine that happens to have beautiful (if only through the magic of airbrushing) nude woman on some of the pages. It's also cheaper then most other entertainment magazines. Win-win. Buy it.

Of course this is a great product. My husband and my step-son were both VER"Y excited to receive this subscription as a gift. Who wouldn't be. The years this magazine has been around has proven itself.

I like this magazine because it offers almost everything a man may want in a tasteful, entertaining and informative magazine. Of course, the accent is on gorgeous women who are tastefully exposed but not completely because it is always nice to have a little bit left to the imagination. The models are exceptional women issue after issue and the magazine delivers again and again. There are questions with celebrity persons and editorials, the humoristic part is also captivating. There is even political commentary. However, the most memorable part are the top quality photos throughout the content and after I turned from average into a great lover thanks to the bestseller scientfically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex, I am even confident enough to hang out with girls out of my usual league. After all, it is nice to watch hot girls at the pages but it is also good to do something to hang out with such. Overall, it offers a lot to young and older men with various interests and demands, and I am sure that you will enjoy your subscription. They also add spicy bonuses so don't be very surprised if you get also a DVD or something. Enjoy.
