VINTAGE PLAYBOY LANGUAGE OF LEGS | THE STUFF OF MALE SEXUAL DELUSIONS

May 18, 2009

the language of legs

*

Reading this, it’s no wonder guys are so messed up.  Just look at the sexually-charged propaganda we’ve been feeding ourselves for years.  The article is actually hilarious in retrospect, and paints a pretty shallow picture of us guys as simple-minded children with one thing on their mind– getting their sticky little fingers on the prize in a Cracker Jack box.  The writing is so ridiculously laced with sexual innuendo that no girl sitting in any position would stand a fighting chance against a horn-dog armed with this article.  Gotta love what they call the poor gal that doesn’t cross her legs when seated– the “Philanthropist”, she’s comfortable with herself and everyone else…  Keep reading for more laughs, and legs.

      Well, that’s the best of the bunch!

    Amazing. Who knew so much was written on the way a woman sits? I like how absolutely none of the ‘types’ should be avoided god help the teenager who read this article back in the day…

      A sage I know says that a young woman’s best defense against the male sex drive is I.B.S.

    What’s amusing is the people who consider themselves so sophisticated and the article so naive. In fact, the writer hits the nail right on the head. By the way, do men really think about anything else?

    Great article – and just shows how times have changed.

    I find it funny that guys would need to be told these things. Though most guys will look at a woman’s legs for nothing more than beautiful legs.

      Shaun, guys need to be told everything. But this is truly bad advice. You can’t judge a woman by how she sits, no more than you can judge a guy by how he looks.

        Well isn’t this just what women’s magazines like Cosmopolitan mostly consist of today? Many men’s magazines gave ‘gentleman’s tips’ back then, and I yearn for those times. I wish there was a niche magazine that could recreate the visual and literal world of the 60s-70s. It would be refreshing to read an actual pastiche rather than browse archives. Any idea whether there are any 21st century publications for male readers that include advice similar to such given in women’s magazines?

    I can’t stop looking at that first picture.

      Indeed, she is lovely, as are her legs, so perfectly punctuated by those barely-there shoes which turn her feet into something surprisingly erotic.

      I also dig the groovy jacket her gentleman friend is wearing, man.

    Hmm, interesting post. Quite funny

    actually, body language means a lot.
    I don’t think that magazine is so far off.

    That was pretty accurate actually, like my horoscope.

    I remember this article from my Dad’s collection of playboys, even then I knew it was b.s. the real lesson here is to approach anyone you are attracted to. And, if you think you’ve got an advantage because you’ve read this asinine article then the confidence it creates no matter how misguided will work because you said hello.

    Hef was a nerdy geek, but he figured out acting like you have stones is all anybody really does at first… And yeah I get a lot of action. Haven’t read a playboy since puberty.

    I love your blog, had to be said. Apparently, I’m ‘The Schemer’. Interesting. Haha.

    Where is the rest of the mag, the part that requires no reading?
