Drugs, Sex & Money on Wall Street
Too much money isn’t always a good thing. Back in the 1980s, Wall Street gave rise to a notorious New York City subculture whose principal goals were sex, drugs, and lots of money. That disconnect between material success and personal happiness was a byproduct of the opulent materialism of the decade. The 21st century ushered in an era of scrutiny and overt criticism of the decades of excess that led to a near collapse of the financial system starting in 2008. There is a feeling on modern Wall Street that you work harder for less money, and a lot less fun. When it comes to a cautionary tales of excess from the 1980s, most of us are inclined to refer to Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The realities of Wall Street decadence are rarely aired in public. All too often, in a society of consumer pleasuring and narcissistic social media addicts, cautionary tales like that of Philip Hehmeyer, who was the subject of Peter McCabe’s article on sex, drugs, and money in the world of finance originally published in the February 1985 issue of Penthouse magazine, get a revisionist makeover by a society that admires Gordon Gekko and aspires to party like Jordan Belfort.

Brothels in Art
Prostitution and art got a similar start. They both went hand in hand with religion. While painters and sculptors were portraying the gods, prostitutes were serving the gods in religious sanctuaries. The oldest recorded brothel was attached to the temple of the Sumerian deity Anu. The inmates, watched over by a Sumerian madame, were dedicated to the cult of Anu's lustful daughter, Ishtar, and the proceeds from their “holy” activities went to the priests of the temple. This would seem like the perfect setup for artists, merging two of their most popular themes: sex and religion. But the Sumerians stuck chiefly to religion and left sex and the servants of Ishtar out of their art.

Marilyn Monroe's Last Photoshoot
He was a self-made photography giant. She was the most famous woman in the world. Together, Bert Stern and Marilyn Monroe's collaboration resulted in the now-classic The Last Sitting, a series of photography sessions that produced over 2,500 images that are both haunting and poignant. The photographs give us a glimpse of the complex starlet's different sides, as well as what was to come: her tragic death a little over a month later.

Hottest Lumbersexual Men in Hollywood
Lumbersexuals never grow tired of wood. Akin to Paul Bunyan and the hot Brawny guy, a perfectly trimmed lumbersexual can cause a flood in any location—mowing lawns and cutting down those delicate undergarments along the way. With the ferocity (and sex drive) of Thor in battle combined with a young poet’s absorption in Steinbeck novels, Lumbersexuals are the new guilty pleasure of women that can’t get enough of the bearded giant. Ingredients? Flannel. Craft beer lover. Artistically trimmed beard. Buff as fuck. Plaid. Impeccable fashion sense. And devouring eyes.

Best Strip Clubs in America
As different as our 50 states are from one another, they all have one thing in common: They all have strip clubs. Okay, they may have more than that in common, but this is one of the most important similarities. The important distinction is this: Which state has the best strip clubs? Since quality varies widely within each state, we’ve focus on a more important question—which strip club in each state is the best to visit? Here is our list, based on recommendations of both tourists and regulars, of the best spot in each state.

History of Orgies
Long before the first grunting cave person discovered that his/her sexual pleasure was multiplied by having others, not only present, but participating in a group melange, warm blooded mammals were taking part in orgies. Porpoises have been holding group sex parties (along with extra-marital, pre-marital, bestial, masturbatory, homo, bi, and other sexual practices) in the ocean for millions of years before we came along.

Unicorns as Phallic Symbols
A documentary movie about the uncharted central region of New Guinea made its rounds in the art-theater circuit many years ago. It boasted some outstanding photography, an uncommonly intelligent narration, and—since the American censor boards frown on the genitals of civilized people only—some unusually frank sequences of naked natives. One of the more memorable reels showed a tribe of savage Papuans whose penises are sheathed in long, horn-like shields, tied to their waists to resemble the erect phallus.

Sex Exercises
In the way that an athlete is taught and conditioned in their expertise, the same discipline should be taught to those who are sexually active. I don't mean to suggest that sex is just another form of athletic contest. On the contrary, sex can be—and should be—the physical expression of genuine love. The postures of love-making may seem bizarre, but if we had been meant to procreate by spitting over our left shoulders or by gazing into our partner's eyes soulfully, that's what we'd be doing. We're lucky that sex is no more bizarre than it is.

The Sexualization of Denise Richards
At the young age of nineteen years old, Denise Richards found herself with rushed breast implants and a sudden and fierce sexualized image. It was 1990, and breast implant surgeons saw themselves as artists first, then surgeons. Suddenly, Richards found herself with much larger implants than she asked for. Denise and her two knockers were the breast of buddies until 1998. While preparing for 1998’s Wild Things, she had corrective breast implant surgery. Yet, once again, the new doctor felt it incumbent to protect those precious fruits and made them larger (again) than she had asked for.
