''Playmen'' was an Italian adult entertainment magazine. It was founded in 1967 by a mother of three, Adelina Tattilo, reaching fame as Italy's ''Playboy'' magazine. The magazine was published monthly and featured photographs of nude women, and articles on fashion, sport, consumer goods and public figures. ''Playmen's'' use of "tasteful" nude photos is classified as softcore in contrast to hardcore pornographic magazines. It ceased publication in 2001. ==Early years== During a running battle with the Italian police, the magazine reached a circulation of 450,000 within four years of its 1967 inception. It sold at about the equivalent of a US dollar per copy. ''Playmen'' was initially an imitator of ''Playboy'' magazine, although the first ''Girl of the Month'', Brigitte Bardot, held her hands over her breasts. ''Playmen'' later developed a style of its own, reflecting European tastes and not overly displaying breasts as per the American ''Playboy'' counterpart. The founder Tattilo is quoted as saying "The U.S. is a matriarchy. I think this is the reason for the American male preference for women with exaggerated, voluminous bosoms, true wet nurses with a reassuring maternal aspect." The women Tattilo chose for ''Playmen'' were slimmer and more mature than Hugh Hefner's choices. In the early years, each month the Italian police, in some cities, would order a mass seizure of the magazine. ''Playmen'' rarely lasted more than 48 hours on the newsstands before either being sold or seized. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Playmen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
