Playboy Sucks!

I have always respected the Playboy history. The groundbreaking that HH did is legendary and the guy deserves his due credit. He wasn't a pioneer, he was THE pioneer. But isn't it time for the cheesy over-processed playboy to go away? They have yet to change their style and now have handed over their online division to be run by Manwin (parent company of Brazzers) because they failed to the point of nearly bankrupting the company.

To you guys, the viewer Playboy might be your cup of tea. They find some hot girls for sure, but that isn't so tough to do these days. I have worked for Playboy 37 times in my career, ranging from the magazine to playboy TV, Playboy radio, Club Jenna etc. They are one of the worst companies to work for. They pay the least and your day is going to be spent as if it's an episode of Law & Order. I have a personal grudge against Playboy, but that isn't what motivates me to speak out, well not entirely. In November 2007 I was hired by Playboy to shoot a scene for a Club Jenna movie they were making called "RPM XXXTreme: Crotch Rockets" I was the featured star on the cover and back, and also starred Audrey Bitoni, Brooke Haven, Savannah Stern, Richelle Ryan, & Mikayla. It was another cheesy themed movie but it was a hardcore scene with Billy Glide. The concept was motorcycles and the movie and the scene sucked. the music in every playboy video is like fucking circus music and doesn't fit at all.

I shot the scene and 7 weeks later I got my check in the mail. Now I took this job as a favor to my agent who asked me to reduce my rate and deal with the notorious Playboy payroll. I agreed to help them out. I got the check and put it in my purse where it stayed for 3 days. I was in Miami getting ready to fly to The Cayman Islands and remembered I had it, so I cashed it on my way to the airport at an Amscot at 5am to have some extra spending cash for my trip. When I get home there's a letter in the mail from Amscot notifying me that the check had fucking bounced! Playboy!!!!!!!!!! So I call my agent who calls the guy at Playboy Jay Shanahan who I knew from his days at Vivid. He tells them he'll handle it not to worry. I wait. And Wait until I start getting threats from Amscot to file it with the state attorney. They were now requiring three times the original amount. So after my calls to Playboy and my agent being ignored, I had to pay. To this day, they have never made that check good.

Ask any girl if they like to work for Playboy and if she's not brand new or an idiot she'll tell you they are the worst.

I shot a scene for them with Lela Starr for Pinup perversions that was so fucking hot when we shot it. I ate her ass and we fucked for real on this casino roulette table. It was smoking hot. When the scene came out, it had this awful circus music on it. Think I'm being overdramatic? check it out for yourself: click here

I would love to hear what you guys, the consumer think of Playboy in today's world. Do you like their content? Do you like the magazine still?

ah come on. you don't work here anymore Roald. Instead of speaking as a guy who is an affiliate just answer as a man. you know their shit sucks ass. it's weak and tired and played out and cheesy.
 
Playboy is legendary and perhaps the world's most famous men's magazine.

You do not get your money?

Well, you should have asked them in advance.

I love their online content. The women are just world class beautiful. I don't read the magazine (Pictures on paper? Wow, archaic).

On my Christmas wish list I'm going to ask for a year's online subscription. I really wish I had won that contest damnit.
 
I've never had positive thoughts about Playboy. They are great at finding beautiful women to look at but there are a brand and a lifestyle these days. I grew up in the 80's and 90's when Playboy was "at it's peak" compared to today. I was reaching adulthood when every ugly/semi-attractive/attractive girl who was somewhat skanky or trashy started plastering their bodies and every other surface they had control over with Playboy merchandise from banners to shirts to stickers to bed sheets to posters to shot glasses and it was just about the worst time to be a single guy because a lot of these girls were delusional enough to think they were on the same level - socially and sexually - as a Playboy Playmate and they would walk around as if they were the second coming of Jesus and the rest of us were fortunate enough to be in their presence. For me and a lot of other young adult men, Playboy was just a semi-socially acceptable jerk rag and it wasn't the "deep and respectable" Playboy of yore that older people would spin it as.

Mmmm... I've never worked for them so I can't relate there. The bounced check sounds awful. I've had my fair share of experience with cheap shoots and no pay, so it's understandable. But for Playboy to act like that? Shame on them.

Right now they're not as popular as they once were because the online market is booming, it's more for your money's worth, has more variety, and easily accessible. People aren't as prone to picking up physical magazines anymore, so many of them don't pay as good as they used to, and some don't pay at all.

Personally I think the content in their magazines is beautiful. I've never really paid much attention to their online content other than taking a few quick browses to get an idea of what they do.

I never said their photos arent nice. but they are fake as fuck. i know many girls who have been centerfolds and been to the mansion many times. Im more critical of their video content. the magazine is what it is. airbrushed and all that which is fine. the video they do is just horrible.

assari did you read what I wrote? Playboy pays using a payroll service. they dont pay you in advance lol no porn company pays in advance. some pay same day, but none in advance. I did 600 movies dude for every porn company worth a shit on 3 continents, therefore you aren't the one to give me advice on this lol

but thank you tho
 
You don't like circus? I haven't really ever been watching porn because of background music and half of the time I do not have sounds at all either way. Thought that's probably mainly because my headphones are wireless and tend to be always out of power when I watch porn... Oh, there was some question hidden at the end?
:dunno:

I haven't had a tonne of experience with Playboy, mostly through the mags of friends parents while I was younger and an issue (maybe two?) which peaked my curiosity in my mid- or early-twenties when they landed a celebrity (I know I bought the Drew Barrymore issue out of curiosity and was disappointed, maybe I got the one with Charlize Theron too? If so it didn't leave much of an impression). So nothing all that recent.

That said, what I recall was... fine. It was well shot. "Classy" I guess is the term that comes to mind, though it certainly could have been a tad more explicit for my tastes. Ultimately though... it's a magazine. That doesn't particularly impress me. I like digital. All you have to do is hit the website, download and you're done. I know they have online stuff now, but I've never gone out of my way to see it. So that's about as much of an opinion as I can give.

Summed up: Stuff is well shot, could be more explicit, magazines suck.

Ok lol.

Well, as people say the porn and music industry is dominated by criminals and those persons can not be trusted.

My big problem with Playboy is that they have way too many models and too little content of each model. And most of the models are unknown. They are models that you will never see again. I mean seriously, it seems they have thousands of models, and maybe like 3 sets of each model. Better to have maybe 30 models and maybe 20-50 sets of each model. And they have way too many sub sites - auditions, married women, college girls, etc. - and they dont seem to be organized well together at all. Are they all a part of one site? Its confusing. Most paysites have one big main parent site, and all the sub sites are linked to the parent site. Doesnt seem so straightforward with Playboy.

Playboy started going downhill when the internet came along. The company tried to adjust, but whoever is in charge just doesnt know how to run online content.

I was a member of Playboy once and was irritated that they require you to call on the phone in order to cancel you membership. Completely rediculous. No wonder they are struggling.

I always get irritated when non nude models say they dont pose nude but would pose nude for Playboy. UUUGGGHHH
