They don’t want to go to a newsagency and pull out a porno, how embarrassing.” “If they can do it in the privacy of their home, they will. “There’s a certain sensitivity around people watching porn, especially in the west,” he said. Mr Yiannopoulos told at the time “Australia might need saving from itself sometime soon”.ĭespite the magazine’s adult content, Mr Costas said 30 per cent of his readers were female amid a shift to less photography and more in-depth feature stories. People aren’t interested in that anymore. “Internet porn destroyed it for everybody. In his introductory speech to welcome Mr Yiannopoulos to Sydney, Mr Costas lamented: “The Dear Penthouse letters aren’t as entertaining as they used to be. Now, whatever your fetish is, go online and there it is.” Magazines used to have to try and bring the image off the page, you could imagine all sorts of things. “Unfortunately with porn these days there’s not a lot left to the imagination, which is sad for people these days. “They’re not so much the salacious stories any more but if you knew what Penthouse Forum was 30 years ago, you would appreciate what we’ve done with the live shows,” Mr Costas said. Mr Costas told Penthouse had since relaunched the Forum brand for speaking tours, the first kicking off with controversial political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos last month. Even the guy who wrote about f***ing a wet clay statue - Bravo!” “We’ve enjoyed every one of your Forum stories. In its editorial, out today, the team at Black Label wrote of the magazine’s “amazingly fun achievements”. “We’re not as liberal as everyone thinks we are.” “Society at large is more conservative, due to political correctness companies that want to advertise certainly don’t have an appetite to be in a magazine like Penthouse anymore. Mr Costas told a changing view on sex and poor sales were behind the icon’s demise, adding it was sad to see any part of Penthouse’s publishing history disappear but “we move with the times”. “Researchers who have studied penis size concluded that at age 20 the average length of the flaccid penis was 13.02cm and the average relaxed circumference was 8.55cm.” “Penis size is very variable,” read Penthouse’s response to A.E. It’s a far cry from the nine-page spread that featured in the first Australian issue.
“We had limited numbers of letters coming through which didn’t support a quarterly 120-odd page book,” he told. Mr Costas blamed the move on “financial reasons”, adding “sales at newsagents were less than satisfactory”. Today, the last issue of Penthouse’s “dirty little brother”, Black Label, hit shelves for the final time. “If people aren’t writing in it means there's no market for it.”
“People stopped writing in, no one wants it any more,” he told. Mr Costas blamed a “seismic shift in sex and culture” and said the appetite for adult content in print “is completely dead”. He asked: “Is there anything that I can do to make my penis bigger?”īut today the publisher of Penthouse Australia says Australians are no longer interested in reading the salacious letters from the lovelorn and sex starved and in 2015 Damien Costas cut Penthouse Forum - and its letters - from publication. “When birds give me hints to (sleep with) them, I want to, but I can’t because I’m worried about what they will think.” The first issue of Australian Penthouse in October, 1979.
