I met a girl recently and she had a Playboy bunny tattooed on her back. Why would someone do this to themselves?
Playboy magazine is primarily a masturbation aid. It is used by young boys to trigger arousal while they stroke their genitals. Looking at loads of these type of photos will likely result in compulsive masturbation which can have a negative effect on a boys life. Secretly doing this is no "playboy" lifestyle and is more the mark of a person with a closeted obsession/vice. As gross as the behavior that playboy magazine has spawned why would somebody tattoo the trademark of a masturbation aid on their body?
How this magazine has a somewhat positive reputation is amazing. They have a TV show for the old man and used to have night clubs. Did people use the magazine to masturbate in public within those clubs? There is even a club in Vegas at the Palms which is themed after the masturbation aid. It really should be known as the publication that gave millions a dirty little habit that led to much secret compulsive behavior. That bunny should stand for something dirty and nasty that compels young boys into compulsive behavior; certainly not anything cool.
Playboy equals power. Public nudity and pornography is much more accepted now than it was in the past. The reality is many Playmates have power. Even the ones who are not famous like Pamela Anderson end up meeting and marrying powerful men. Many young women aspire to that and no longer see it as a shameful position but rather a position of power. They get paid a lot of money for their appearances. There is a lot of women that would love to be featured in Playboy. Furthermore, men who masturbate to pornography are all disturbed individuals? Is this a medical opinion? Do you think maturbation is a sin? Does your particular faith not endorse masturbation?
The models get used; they drift in and out of transient relationship after transient relationship, and then are tossed aside by the time they are thirty. Sure they may bask in the glow of the attention but the male libido grows suddenly cold after it is satisfied. These models are more used to manipulate the passions of the readers and those drawn to them. The passion controls the women never does the women control the passion. The great majority of them become damaged goods by the experience. The passion controls them, Anna Nicole is a good example who was controlled and then destroyed by her passion for men, self satisfaction and drugs.

Hustler and Penthouse are more apt to what you speak of. Playboy actually has articles, interviews, reviews, editorials--and some people actually read them. It's actually about more than just the sex, which I wouldn't say about those other two periodicals. Just a tad bit more highbrow.
It's all a reflection of the decline in sexual mores which has been happening in American and western societies for about 60 years. The sexual explicitness and its consequences to society would have absolutely shocked most people of a few generations ago.
The sexual modesty of non-western societies is something I admire.
The importance that society places on women's looks is also unhealthy for girls.

And you've come (no pun intended ) to this conclusion how?
Personal experience?
Psychotic nuns in Sunday School?
Our society just amazes me when there's a bigger flap over a naked breast on TV than over thousands killed in unnecessary wars of choice. THAT'S SICK!
OP- I agree with your second post completely...but not so much with the first one.
While I don't understand why anyone would want a 'bunny' tattoo, I disagree that the majority of people think Playboy is 'cool'. I think most think it's juvenile and a little tacky.
I don't see the alarm about masterbation, though...it's pretty normal and harmless if it doesn't become an obsession.
