That's relative. Compared to Hustler and Penthouse Playboy was very classy, even beautiful. There was no "pink" and there was always a high value placed on aesthetics. Of course some would consider any nudity degrading, but I don't. I had a subscription for a while. My wife wasn't too happy with it so I didn't renew. I've heard great things about it recently. Apparently they're featuring a transgender model for only the second time, first as a featured model, and a plus size model for the first time. As far as I know other magazines aren't doing anything so positive and the filth that is out there floating around the internet is unmeasurable. I would far rather my daughter (or son if I had one) have Playboys than look for porn online.
