Even the guy who wrote about f***ing a wet clay statue - Bravo!вЂќ вЂњWeвЂ™ve enjoyed every one of your Forum stories. In its editorial, out today, the team at Black Label wrote of the magazineвЂ™s вЂњamazingly fun achievementsвЂќ. вЂњWeвЂ™re not as liberal as everyone thinks we are.вЂќ вЂњSociety at large is more conservative, due to political correctness companies that want to advertise certainly donвЂ™t have an appetite to be in a magazine like Penthouse anymore.

Mr Costas told a changing view on sex and poor sales were behind the iconвЂ™s demise, adding it was sad to see any part of PenthouseвЂ™s publishing history disappear but вЂњwe move with the timesвЂќ. вЂњResearchers who have studied penis size concluded that at age 20 the average length of the flaccid penis was 13.02cm and the average relaxed circumference was 8.55cm.вЂќ вЂњPenis size is very variable,вЂќ read PenthouseвЂ™s response to A.E. ItвЂ™s a far cry from the nine-page spread that featured in the first Australian issue. вЂњWe had limited numbers of letters coming through which didnвЂ™t support a quarterly 120-odd page book,вЂќ he told. Mr Costas blamed the move on вЂњfinancial reasonsвЂќ, adding вЂњsales at newsagents were less than satisfactoryвЂќ. Today, the last issue of PenthouseвЂ™s вЂњdirty little brotherвЂќ, Black Label, hit shelves for the final time. вЂњIf people arenвЂ™t writing in it means there's no market for it.вЂќ

вЂњPeople stopped writing in, no one wants it any more,вЂќ he told. Mr Costas blamed a вЂњseismic shift in sex and cultureвЂќ and said the appetite for adult content in print вЂњis completely deadвЂќ. He asked: вЂњIs there anything that I can do to make my penis bigger?вЂќД«ut today the publisher of Penthouse Australia says Australians are no longer interested in reading the salacious letters from the lovelorn and sex starved and in 2015 Damien Costas cut Penthouse Forum - and its letters - from publication. вЂњWhen birds give me hints to (sleep with) them, I want to, but I canвЂ™t because IвЂ™m worried about what they will think.вЂќ The first issue of Australian Penthouse in October, 1979.
