So if you want to read a more erotic, imaginative and action-packed sex story, then go for Penthouse as there is a bigger chance of finding one there.Īs for the models themselves, critics have regarded Playboy as having the best-looking women out there. But tin fairness, they also publish some top quality articles for the choosy readers. As mentioned, many articles from Penthouse seem a lot crude. But comparing the article content of each magazine, more readers would agree that Playboy has more informative articles. Practically, both magazines display the same style of telling parodies, sex jokes, several columns on advice from the experts and of course, the steamy letters that bring each reader to the mood and imagination on what new positions to try out. Nevertheless, both have good contents’”although it depends on what type of reading or visual material you’d like to see. Penthouse, on the other hand, brings the word soft porn a notch higher by publishing more vulgar pictures and raunchier articles. With the quality of magazine content, majority of readers claim that Playboy has classier pictures and well written articles. Being classified as a magazine closer to the likes of FHM and Maxim, Playboy has less (if none at all) spreading of legs seen among their models. In here you can see women spreading their legs and having their genitals focused or closed up. Penthouse is more explicit as it appears to be midway between Playboy (the rated R magazine) and Hustler Mag (the hard core all-out XXX material). This may sound a bit exaggerated but in reality, too much photo-shopping and darkening of some areas in the picture really give some privacy to what’s left of the models themselves. In Playboy, there seems to be so much airbrushing that the models already appear like cartoon characters. But majority of readers come to accept that Playboy is less explicit compared to the edgier Penthouse. The issues released from both magazines may sometimes differ in terms of approach and style.

If you are an avid follower of adult magazines, you pretty much know what to expect from popular magazines such as Penthouse and Playboy.
