I think the people who's bonfire it is will make a model Guy Fawkes, they usually do. a bit like a scarecrow.

Originally Posted By LuLu Wow, I wondered how this topic got so many posts! LOL! I think my reaction would be like Lisann's. Funny, I used to date a guy who read Playboy and it didn't bother me. But I've changed a lot with getting OLD, and having a daughter. I'm not really sure which is the bigger influence! Another factor is how far the limits have been pushed since I was young. I don't really know what Playboy is like any more (so what PG rating *would* it get?) but I was kinda shocked to look at a young friend's copy of Cosmo, a magazine I used to read! Pretty blatant stuff nowadays!
Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP I would have to say that if I saw a copy of Playboy out in my boyfriend's apartment it wouldn't make me upset, but it would start break up proceedings. It would just simply indicate we don't share some similar, basic opinions. And sharing similar basic opinions is important. So to sum up, yes it would be a deal breaker for a spouse. But, wouldn't you rather know now than later?
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter My views on this also mirror Lisa's. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world, but I find pornography disturbing. Certainly Playboy is at the mild end of pornography, but I still don't like it.

Originally Posted By Deogges Mom Back to the original question: I wouldn't be offended at all. Playboy used to have some really good articles and interviews. I'll admit, it's been several years since I've looked at an issue of Playboy, so I'm not sure what the quality of the articles are these days.
