- ghm101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+111Ok, I have given these pics my serious attention, and hard work it was too!
Looking at samples from roughly each decade - it seems that playboys taste in women has gone
From curvaceous full bodied women.
To girls with no ass, huge plastic ***** and no pubes who need a good meal or two.
If you had shown me one of the modern day pics in isolation I would have said “that’s pretty hot”, but when you look at it in the context of all the older pics you realise how artificial, airbrushed, nose jobbed, photo-shopped, siliconed and botoxed the current fantasy women is.
My "broad" statement? - the modern look is pretty lame really, probably ***** with the minds of girls aspiring to look like that, and equally ***** with the minds of guys who might just not think themselves satisfied unless they get to ride a silicon express. - ghm101, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42"broad" statement - unintentional pun of the day?
- killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26to quote stewie from family guy " Apparently the razor wasn't invented untill some time in the late 80's ;-p
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24You know, the nudity aside, I think that going through these actually shows a broad statement about the times in which the pictures were taken; at least fashion-wise.
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25You're fapping off to what are now 60-70+ year old women :P
Btw, did anyone else notice how much bigger most of the boobs got in the 2004-2005 section vs the 50s section? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20its worth the risk.
- deadgoon42, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22I hate big FAKE boobs. The ladies from the 50s were all natural. The girls from the late 80s on are mostly the product of plastic surgeons and creative photo editing.
- TriZz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19If only I could be Hugh Hefner - just for ONE day. That's all I ask...
- hoowahman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Choo-Choo
- Somniis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15The women in the 60s and 70s look far better than the ones now. The tan lines, the curves, and natural bodies make them HOT. :)
- michaelb1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17"Hello, I'm a PC. And I'm a Mac.
Hey PC did you check out that article on Digg about the last 50 years of playmates? I totally rubbed one out to the 70's babes.
No Mac, I tried to but i got a virus before I could finish roughing up the suspect." - theolane, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I agree 100% with ghm101... the ones from the 70's are much, much better looking. The skinny plastic ones of today can't keep you nearly as warm as the curvy fleshy ones of the past :P Let's hope the trend of curvy girls comes back real soon!
- samuelcotterall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I think this is the teenage boy's equivalent of striking oil.
- albinoMithos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12@ghm101
I agree completely. That being said that still wouldn't stop me from nailing any and all of them if I ever had the chance. Back to my fantasy world....... - MrFrostyUK, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14nice list, but will they blend?
- Alphateam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10my Jr. High science teacher is in one of those.
I can't figure out who she is. It was long before I knew her....oh well. - kafka47, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Mom??
- kitchensj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Did anyone else look for the centerfold that was in the first playboy you ever saw as a kid? Seems like something you don't really forget.
- fonetap, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9theolane, that is unlikely to happen as long as we all pretend jenna jameson is a one-bimbo-fits-all male fantasy... if that were truly the case the lot of us would be quite disappointed with what's out there, with women coming in all shapes and sizes.
another thumbs up for the slammin' seventies :) - Halodude1489, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Playboy sucks, its easily 90% advertisements now.
- RyuXenon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8You definitely can see a visible change in the spectrum of mans taste in women. The 1950's ones are actually much more attractive then all the new ones. No fancy Photoshopping, lightning etc... just natural beauty... I digg this :P
- Lixie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Looks like I'll have a merry Christmas after all.
The "Save Image As" function is about to get used and abused. - nixfu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Famous Playmates

Just remember to wash your hands BEFORE entering our world again. - N00F, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Firefox + NoScript+AdBlock is a wonderful combination!
- junk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Interesting that on the last page almost every girl's skin tone is the same. Kinda creepy.
- N00F, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Have you noticed how large the nipples were back in the old days? I guess with the augmentation of today's breasts, the nipples just appear to be smaller. Seriously though, some of those old nipples could cut glass! WOW!
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6is it mens taste that has changed? or just what men are told is their taste?
take your statement (and those of others) they prefer the older ones so maybe tastes havent changed as much as you thought
just whats offered - kafka47, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The 60's jugs have pretty uncanny valleys
- GliTCH82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think the 60's centerfolds are much hotter than the 70's. There was a lot more sassy-ness there and I'm all for it.
- kcroke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The 70's was definitely the Year of the Bush. Pre 1970, they were consistently covering up the bush with underwear or a strategically placed bail of hay.
But, alas, this was short lived. The bush has somehow found it's way back into obscurity, this time through wax and the strategic use of a razor. - baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5whoa. her scud missles probably won us the Cold War
- bussche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ahhhh this is nice, finally a article where it isn't just everyone flaming each other.........we can all appreciate the ladies hehe
- baxtermaddux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I blame Global Warming for the extinction of all those rocking 70's bushes that keep you warm in the winter
- slantysideways, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Does anybody get the 'uncanny valley' feeling looking at the playmates of this decade? Its almost scary.
- scoobiedoobie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Totally agree with Dou6, the women in those pics from the late 50's, 60's and early 70's were seriously HOT! They all made me go 'Woah' but the ones from the most recent decades are all just 'plastic pammies'
I wish I was in my 20's back then, and not now ;-) - WarPirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4natural beauty!
- bdickason, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I really like how back in the day, when they didn't have airbrushing, they resorted to actually painting the photos to make them look better. Some of those early girls are covered in brushstrokes...
- redrighthand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Some pretty Major GILF's
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Or at least girls who like guys?
- MioTheGreat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, look at September '01.....her ability to stand straight must be seriously impaired.
- MrTsLoveChild, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5OMG @ Miss December, 1968. perfection.
i start to get that little twinge of vomit in the back of my throat starting in the 90's. fake ***** are disgusting. - Itkovian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You are forgetting Lena Söderberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna), who probably has the most widely used playmate picture taken.
- crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4FInally found the secret why grandpa and grandma stayed together for so long.
she's in there. - michaelb1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3it is kinda creepy to see the photoshop effect on all those late model models.
There skin all looks the same. It looks to have roughly the same texture as a Barbie doll....or prosthetic limb.
Many of those 50's, 60's, 70's chicks were pretty hot.
I looked at the early 70's just to see what the hotties looked like when i was born. - EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3One of the main uses of Photoshop is to smooth skin tones, which leads to *better* JPEG compression. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with load times in the manner you suggest.
- RCola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The boobs got bigger, the legs were uncrossed, the bush went from big to none at all. Kind of cool seeing the trends.
- Somniis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Pussy is pussy!
- Catchpen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3November 1974 for example? A GMILF now I guess
- Kericr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I would DEFINATELY NOT hit any of those. Those knees are way to sharp for me.
