Penthouse no longer publishing

[Pornfan99]

Wow. First Playboy comes out and says no more nudity, starting in March - and now Penthouse will be digital / on-line only:

Per The Wall Street Journal:
Penthouse Magazine, the long-running and raunchier rival of Playboy, said Friday that it is ending its print edition after 50 years on the newsstand and will now only be offered in digital format.

Like "Video kKlled the Radio Star" (really, iTunes did that) - the internet and free porn killed the gentleman's magazines.

Keep your collections, I have a feeling they will be worth a pretty penny some day! Just don't spunk up any of the pages..

On-Line? Penthouse.com still doesn't have the April 1982 Penthouse Pet Muriel Rousseau ...





So very sad.

Too bad. First pussy I ever saw was in Penthouse, Playboy didn't show them back then.

Nice Bush on Miss Muriel Rousseu there ... VERY nice! :drool2: Especially that 3rd pic where she's there so open. :rubbel:
Ahhhhh ... 80s Bush. Those were the days. Really miss them.

I thought it was odd they hadn't announced a 2016 pet of the Year.

Penthouse is still publishing. AVN has confirmed that the magazine will continue to be published like always. They are just adding an online edition. So either way, the magazine in one form or another will continue on as always.

I was beating off like crazy anyways, but yeah, that's a shame.

My bad. Sorry. It WILL still publish a print edition.

=====================================

The press release's title stated, "PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE GOES DIGITAL!"

It went on to explain that the publication "will be released in digital format and that future issues of the magazine will be available electronically through subscription."

Nowhere in the release does it say the magazine is ceasing publication of its print edition.

"There was just this jump," Holland said of the initial reports. "Staff layoffs, digital -- it can only mean that print is going down."

"Perhaps the press release should have said, 'Penthouse launches a digital platform in conjunction with its print publication,'" she added.

Holland said she doesn't have a public relations army to "systematically make corrections" to all the false reports, so she's corrected the record as reporters have called.

Most of the earliest reports remained unchanged in the days that followed. By Wednesday evening, the Wall Street Journal HAD added an update under "Corrections & Amplifications."
