![]() ![]() Starting in September 1969, it was also made available for purchase in the United States. It combines urban lifestyle articles and softcore pornographic pictures of women that, in the 1990s, evolved into hardcore pornographic pictures of women.Īlthough Guccione was American, the magazine was founded in the United Kingdom in 1965. It was a bit annoying given that all of the other legit issues I sold from around this era easily made upwards of a tenner.Penthouse is a men's magazine founded by Bob Guccione and published by Los Angeles–based Penthouse World Media, LLC. LDM does nothing for me and personally I could do without her pics - at age sixteen or otherwise - so given that I couldn't really advertise the mags I ended up just binning them rather than take any undue risk. However were would we stand legally? As these mags were legal when published, would we be able to sell them now? I actually chose to erred on the side of caution by excluding them from my sales list - I even toyed with the idea of photoshopping out the underage references but then thought that if someone somewhere did make an issue out of it then I could hardly plead ignorance. Of course, we know our rules here - which means that scans of these mags are verboten. These mags were published before the age for glamour modelling was raised to eighteen from sixteen (we have done the / Mayfair debate to death on this), but unlike some of the older Mayfair titles Whitehouse would make a big deal out of it using cover slogans like "Sweet Sixteen" and so on. Reading the comments on here made me think of a situation I had to manage recently when selling a few magazines from the early 1990s on eBid - among which were a few issues of Whitehouse containing photoshoots of a very young Linzi Dawn McKenzie. We are glamour/porn/smut/whatever term you wish to use experts, and know our subject well. This sure is an interesting thread, and part of the reason why I like this board. That being said.there was/is still plenty of material that was privately held and never destroyed in the US and all over the world (where it is still legal in many places to one extent or another), as evidenced by the eBay listings, trackers, p2p networks, non US retailers, etc. You have to remember that this was back in the 80s when porn was considered really 'evil' and the Meese commission was looking for any excuse to step on the collective necks in the industry. Her movies were pulled off the shelves of video stores for fear or prosecution, copies in warehouses were destroyed and re-released with different footage. The negatives of the shoot were probably destroyed too. You had better bet that any copies of the mag still in the PH warehouses were destroyed. Whatever could be recalled and destroyed by the content producers was back then. And yes, sellers are taking a big gamble by selling her material on eBay and having it listed in the US.Īnd it's not a matter of burying it. It doesn't matter how many copies were sold. When a model or company is named in this list, then all material of that person or company is forbidden to be posted in the forum. posting ch1ld pornography or any material featuring models under 18 years old in sexual poses.Has anyone ever been prosecuted for selling/buying/owning it?įrom the often referred to, but seldom read forum rules: I don't think that issue could be buried if they tried. ![]() '84 issue because of the Vanessa Williams scandal. Not that I would post her POM pictorial here, but does anyone know if that issue is legal/illegal/gray area? ![]()
