What is Playboy’s target market with this cover?

 

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

I suspect it is "Go where the money is"

What is Playboy’s target market with this cover?

That's what I was wondering.

I suspect it is "Go where the money is"

Precisely. But it's a lot easier to go with "woke" for certain types.

When is RuPaul going to be featured?

 

[gmase]

Anyone else think “They still print?”

Interesting how some folks label them as "woke" for ONE gay cover. As if ONE small step would immediately makes you woke. Hey, guys, this ain't no Star Wars, Progressivism is not the Dark Side of the Force

Anyways, I think this is good marketing : this will get them some media attention, this is gonna draw new customers to the magazine

The old stuff is better in playboy, from 10+ years ago

 

[sexplosion]

can anyone confirm I just purchased the last print issue of Playboy (from amazon). Was the last print centerfold Miss June 2020 (this "spring issue" or whatever it's called contains Miss April Miss May Miss June centerfolds)? all "magazine issues" digital only since then? thanks

 

[Pornfan99]

It appears so - "rushed" into as a business decision, because of COVID and the impact on printing:

I went to both Playboy.com and Playboy Plus I didn't see any way to access these "digital magazines" although the "safe for work" monthly playmate photos are easy enough to look at without paying. There were playmates for every month of 2020 but so far only two seasonal ones for all of 2021. There was a big fuss over the July digital "cover" having a male rapper on it and I think the October digital "cover" which had a gay man or transvestite, but how does one even get to these "digital magazines." I ran across some downloads of German Playboy digital magazines as PDFs but so far none of the American ones. Getting close to not wasting any more time on it. Had to wait for my wife to go out of town to buy this last Playboy ever published (I had no idea they had stopped printing it last year after I bought the next to last one), now I have every single centerfold as either part of the coffee table book or ripping them directly from the magazines over the past however many years. Being married means also no way to join Playboy Plus, even tho I can afford it, heh heh . . .

 

[Pornfan99]

sexp: I just did some searching on-line. It "looks like" Playboy Plus is (likely) the on-going digital only content.

About your .. dilemma, can you get a (second?) laptop? Establish a cloud account. Download content on the "secret" laptop, save it to the cloud, and then you could access the content "on the sly" on your other PC when your wife's not around or busy.

There is all this news about these two males on the digital covers, yet I've not seen or heard about any of the other 2020 covers, nor could I find them on the two Playboy websites or any mention of "digital editions" (not even the men ones). Google search for August 2020 Playboy cover all that comes up are older covers, or covers from other country digital edition Playboys. Heh heh I don't have any problem hiding content from my wife, I just generally can't pay for anything, the only things I can sneak past her are Amazon charges when she's out of town (if she notices the charge I tell her I'm buying the occasional dvd or blu-ray). Here's a link to a story about the July 2020 cover. Let's see if the link will post (hope it doesn't break any rules): https://newspunch.com/playboys-cover-model-gender-fluid-male-wearing-false-nails-revealing-toga/

p.s. as the linked story notes, after the release of the last print issue in March 2020, "It (Playboy) is entirely released online as of March this year (2020)." The story is dated July 9 2020.

It occurs to me now that PB was still probably following the quarterly format. So if there was a "digital issue" released in July with the rapper on the cover, that would have been called the summer issue which would have contained three "centerfolds" for July, Aug, Sept.. Then the later one with the gay man on the cover would have been the fall issue with playmates three playmates for the rest of 2020. There were 12 playmates announced in 2020 one for each month, and six of them after the magazine went digital-only. Maybe the whole idea fell apart by the end of 2020. So far as I can tell even the playmates are seasonal now. PlayboyPlus shows only two for 2021 so far, Izabela Guedes "Playmate Winter 2021" (apparently announced Feb. 2) and Hailee Lautenbach "Playmate Spring 2021" (apparently announced April 1)

Wikipedia (link below) has a listing of every playmate, it gets to 2021 and the monthly playmate thing goes out the window. A girl named for Winter 2021, another named for Spring 2021, but even with the year nearly over no girls yet named for Summer 2021 or Fall 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Playboy_Playmates_of_the_Month

I happened across this sports betting site FanDuel offers
Free One-Year Digital Subscription to Playboy Magazine
Plus — Free Entry to play for your share of $1,000,000+ after first minimum deposit

That's as far as I ventured not really interested in the betting thing but how much would have to put down to get the PB perk and the shot at the million.
Anyway I don't want to put the direct link here, it would likely be called spamming advertising
