...even very sexy. "She lived open and sensitized to his presence" and "all other women were cancelled by her voice" are not much of a substitute for the real thing. The frustration of the "Collector" becomes real for us all: the stories too often titillate with the promise of raunchier things to come, and then (so to speak) leave the reader unsatisfied. When Nin does become graphic, the language gets awkward, as if the description of the sexual act really does embarass...
Playboy, now celebrating its 25th anniversary and straining to elevate itself from a swamp of newer and raunchier skin magazines, dispatched Chan to perpetrate a photo spread on "Girls of the Ivy League." Chan admitted that the Southwest Conference was Playboy's first choice, but the magazine decided that the Ivies have an irresistible mystique. "Especially now that women have entered the men's domain, everybody's mystified," said Chan. "There's a sexual fascination. What are these women like?" Touchy, it turns out. Chan's visit provoked feminist protests on six campuses and touched...
Pinched by steady losses in circulation to the raunchier Penthouse and the downright sickening Hustler, and weighted down by a crazy-quilt diversification pattern (a movie company, a limousine service, hotels, books, a modeling agency), Playboy Enterprises earned only $2 million on sales of $198 million in fiscal 1976, far below its 1973 earnings peak of $11.2 million.

Daniels is a onetime newspaperman (city editor, the Miami Herald) and grandson of the late North Carolina publisher Josephus Daniels, who was Secretary of the Navy under...
...acquisition is richer in history than profit. Founded as a high-class men's magazine by Gingrich and two partners, Esquire has been a clever and richly wrought showcase for most major writers of the century, from Thomas Wolfe to Tom Wolfe. But with the rise of raunchier men's books (Hugh Hefner dreamed up Playboy after leaving a $60 a week Esquire promotion-writing job in 1952), and uncertainty about what Esquire's voice should be (the monthly has had four editors in as many years), advertising and circulation have dwindled. Over the past two fiscal...
...milder examples. It features preteen girls showing off their genitals in the gynecological style popularized by Penthouse and Playboy. Other periodicals, with names such as Naughty Horny Imps, Children-Love and Child Discipline, portray moppets in sex acts with adults or other kids. The films are even raunchier. An 8-mm. movie shows a ten-year-old girl and her eight-year-old brother in fellatio and intercourse. In another film, members of a bike gang break into a church during a First Communion service and rape six little girls...
