* [[A Date
* [[Eighties Hair]]: In that decade, models liked their hair as poofy as possible when they did shoots (see the cover pictured).
* [[
* [[Follow the Leader]]: ''[[Penthouse]]'' and ''[[Hustler (magazine)|Hustler]]'' are two of the most successful copycat magazines to ride Playboy's coattails. Both pushed the envelope way harder than even ''Playboy'' did when it was the only game in town, causing the magazine to follow suit in order to keep up with its rivals. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic_Wars The Other Wiki's article] about (ahem) the Pubic Wars.▼
** Funnily enough, back in the 1970s when feminists were hating on it most was also when it was most classy.▼
** During the 1990s, both ''Penthouse'' and ''Hustler'' started showing explicit sexual activity in their pictorials, something that ''Playboy'' has never yet done, so this trope has been inverted in that regard.▼

* [[Gender Flip]]: ''Playgirl'', even though it's more popular among gay men than straight women. The magazine recently went under and is now solely a subscription website.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: The magazine is ''ridiculously'' mild by today's standards.
Line 28 ⟶ 30:
* [[Nudity Tropes]]: Basically most of them.
* [[Over-the-Shoulder Pose]]: In many spreads and covers.
* [[Playboy Bunny]]: The [[Trope Maker]]
* [[Porn Stash]]: A common part of one, especially in the days before video. Finding your dad's or older brother's old ''Playboy''s is a common
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: A few models and playmates wear a fur in their pictures.
** [[Naked in Mink]]: Usually just the covers (like the one pictured), since within the magazine it's not to cover up.
* [[The Rule of First Adopters]]: One of the pictures widely used for early image compression algorithms was the centerfold from the November 1972 issue,
* [[Sensual Slavs]]: [http://s11.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/e/a/ealewknspxqbkwsa.jpg The "Women of Russia" issue.]{{Dead link}}
▲* [[Strange Bedfellows]]: Fundamentalists and feminists hate the magazine, for entirely different reasons. Fundamentalists hate it because they think it's obscene and ungodly, while feminists hate it due to what they feel is the exploitation of women, and the way the clubs would treat the women working in them. This alliance of convenience also extends to pornography in general.
▲** Funnily enough, back in the 1970s when feminists were hating on it most was also when it was most classy.
