Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott Lensed by Sasha Samsonova for PLAYBOY 'The Pleasure Issue'

Recently crowned by Forbes as the youngest self-made billionaire — taking the crown from Mark Zuckerberg — Kylie Jenner smolders in ‘Wild in Love’: Kylie by Travis for the new issue of PLAYBOY Magazine. Photographer Sasha Samsonova is behind the lens for ‘The Pleasure Issue’ Fall 2019.

Travis Scott comes through this interview every bit as cool as Kylie. A major talent in his own right, Scott plays second fiddle to his woman — except the result is a well-balanced duet. I’m not sure Scott wants to be perceived as charming (such an old-school word) but he is just that, checking his own ego at the front door and getting down to the business of dishing on Kylie.

Let’s hope this sexy couple and Stormi’s parents make sweet music for years to come.

Lizzy Caplan Of ‘Masters of Sex’ Talks Feminism With Playboy July/August 2015

David Rensin asks Lizzy Caplan 20 questions about ‘Masters of Sex’ and by Q4, the duo is talking feminism. Indeed … feminism.

‘Masters of Sex’ takes place during the late 1950s and early 1960s, an era when women ramped up their struggle for liberation. Virginia Johnson keeps pushing the envelope, but you can feel her frustration at almost every turn. Things have changed, but have they changed enough?

The tough pills that women are expected to swallow have gotten better, but it’s naive to think we’ve come that far from the 1950s. Read on.

Playboy CEO: Nudity Could Completely Vanish From the Playboy Brand Entrepreneur

Kim Lachance Shandrow interviews Scott Flanders, the first Playboy Enterprises Inc. CEO not to be a family member. AOC has questioned more than once the relevance of Playboy in today’s world and not only because free nudity is rampant in our Internet world. but because the media space is full up with talented writers, photographers, bloggers and the sexually-opinionated. Playboy is forever associated with Hugh Hefner and Hefner brings a whole lotta baggage to today’s sexy media world.

Now boys will be boys … that reality may just be an eternal truth, based on just how many guy fashion bloggers find the one nudie shot in a fashion editorial and lead with it as an invite to page views. Women’s bodies have always been commodities in the world of men, and that won’t change. Plus, AOC joins a long list of women who enjoy a well-written, well-designed sexy magazine. To think that Playboy will ever compete with GQ or Esquire or Treats! or even a totally frat-boy cleaned-up Maxim is increasingly a tall order.

Hugh Hefner is stuck in a moment in time. This moment!
