Penthouse Pets List
Penthouse Magazine was started in 1965 by Bob Guccione as a competitor to Playboy Magazine. During its first four years it was published in England before moving to the United States in 1969. Since it was on a shoe string budget, Guccione took a lot of the pictures himself, reportedly taking several days to do a shoot right.
Penthouse magazine pushed the envelope of pornography further then Playboy did. It was first to show pubic hair, full frontal nudity, lesbians, and fetish photos. It also had better editorial content that was both more sensational and investigative, leading to the phrase “I only read it for the articles!” The Magazine was also famous for publishing nude photos of famous women after they became famous. They would often bid against Playboy for models to appear in Penthouse first.
Before 1969 there were no Penthouse Pets as far as I can find. If you know otherwise (and have a list,) please comment below!
