   Agreed. I have been a Playboy reader since I was 11. (Being raised in
a nudist camp, I was very used to the sight of naked skin. I read it for
the articles.)

   A vanishingly small number of the readers of Playboy and Penthouse
ever commit violent sexual crimes, and sexual crimes have existed as
long as the human race, far longer than the printed image. Claiming
that one caused the other shows, at best a complete lack of
understanding of statistical coorelation.  With all the
real, horrible crimes being perpetrated against women around the world
on a daily basis (female genital mutalation is widespread in the Muslim
areas of Africa), that complaining about Playboy and Penthouse is the
equivilent of going to an emergency room with a hangnail during a
plague.
