I collected Penthouse comix for some time. I really gonna miss that guy.
 
Whether you like his publication or not, he was the first person to print a picture that showed pubic hair in a widely-circulated periodical.

R.I.P. Bob. :hatsoff:
 
Sad news, just hope that now after his passing Penthouse continues providing us with quality.... articles :D

That was the first porn mag I ever subscribed to.... I got a year subscription on the day of my 18th birthday... :crying: Sad to see him go.
 
I had my first masturbatory experience with Penthouse...needless to say my life has never been the same. Rest in Peace Mr. G
 
Sad to see him go. Penthouse was my favorite magazine back in the day. The women were beautiful (especially those nice hairy pussies), and I enjoyed reading Forum too. May he rest in peace.

No, that honor belongs to Larry Flynt and Hustler.

As for Guccione, Penthouse was an excellent stroke mag, until Guccione decided for some as yet unexplained reason to start doing pictorials of chicks pissing. First it would be just one small pic in a pictorial, but it grew and grew until EVERY pictorial would have at least 3 pics of chicks pissing. Gross enough on it;s own, but when it was added to the lesbo pictorials that was the last straw.

I've never read or heard an explanation for this and wonder if any poster here has some legitimate ie; non snarky smart ass insight into this.
 
I was subscribed and read penthouse religiously while I was in college. Bob Guccione was def someone who pused the boundaries, but somehow maintained a artsy look, even if the mag was more and more explicit. May he RIP.
