I loved this mag when I was a teen. It's a sad day.

Dear Penthouse Forum


I would never have believed that something like this could happen to someone like me.


I was at the Laundromat and saw a cute co-ed. I thought she was doing homework on a laptop. I walked past just to get closer and the huge bulge in my jeans brushed against her erect nipples.


I was so embarrassed but she just looked up and smiled. I saw that she was actually looking at a website called massageplanet and it was all about young ladies selling their sexual favors for money. Who could imagine such a thing!


She saw the look of surprise on my face and asked me if I knew about it. Not wanting to appear naïve I told that I knew all about it and looked at the site regularly. She kept pressing and asking questions, so I finally just blurted out the first name that I saw on the screen, I told her my handle was cycleguy007.


Oh My God, What had I done! It was as though I had spoken a secret password. She immediately got on her knees unzipped my pants and gave me the greatest blowjob I had ever had. Suddenly, when I thought things could not get any better her girlfriend came out of the washroom and saw us.


She just looked at her friend and yelled, “ Its Cycleguy007 !” her friend suddenly tore off her clothes and they had lesbian-styled sex right in front of me. I could tell you more about doing it on top of the washer during the rinse cycle and what happened in the dryer, but I will leave that for another letter.


Thanks Penthouse, for someone as short as me, this was amazing!



On a sober note Mr. Guccione’s life of rags to riches back to rags should be learned from. You can be one of the wealthiest people in America and then lose everything in a few years. Having a financial safety net that cannot be touched if things go bad can save people a lot of anguish and misery.

That was a good read, I never knew all that about him. I remember back in the day he was the only mag to show "pink" where Hugh left it to your imagination. Penthouse had a niche between Playboy and Hustler........

Here's another case of someone striking gold and then losing it all.

Thanks to Bob, there's a lot of people who have kiddie porn in their collection without knowing it.

Traci Lords was only 15 when she was their centerfold. :???:

LMFAO @ Laggy!

Truth be known, I read 100's probably thousands of letters from Penthouse Forum and Dear Xaviera. Sure, 99% of it was highly embelished BS, but it sure did fuel some fantasies back in the day! I remember finding my dad's collection when I was 14 or 15. that and a book called "The Joy Of Sex" wasn't very well hiddin! (Well, maybe, but whose to say that the very back of the bottom drawer of a dusty old filing cabinet in the basement crawlspace is a good hiding spot! :shock

I'll never forget the first time I saw lesbian sex.... it was in Bob's film adaption of Caligula... Lori and Anneka's scene was pivotal for me...

RIP Bobby G!

Porn pioneer Bob Guccione died after a long battle with cancer . . . His dream was simple -outdo Hugh Hefner with better nude photos . . . in other words push the nudity envelope a bit further than Playboy . . . during my University days I remember reading 'Penthouse Forum’ which now brings a smile to my face . . .
