Were there pictures of nude women in Playboy?

The copies my mother let me see only had print articles in them...

I always wondered why there wasn't a "Playgirl" magazine to keep the balance .....

I once got a Playboy for my birthday with the good bits cut out.

RIP Hef, and thanks for the memories.

I used to get .hand me down copies from my older brother.

Most of the pages were glued together............

LOL, the mind boggles.

I received the good bits in the mail about a week after I was given the Playboy for my birthday with them all cut out. I had a great time trying to match the bits with their owners, but the paper glue back then wasn't that crash hot. Most of the bits turned out all wrinkly and a funny colour. Sigh again...

There was.

In the early 70's I believe.

Not as popular, was still going in 2016 but not very many subscribers.

Don't know if it's still going.

I see!  Not that I ever read (past or present tense) such stuff, but I knew lots of people who did at uni ...
