Centerfold folds

Christian Century, May 8, 2002

Saying there is "no future for adult business" on newsstands, Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione announced in April that the magazine is going out of business. The magazine once sold 5 million copies a month, but now sells only 650,000. This does not signify a declining interest in pornography, however.

Rather, with all kinds of pornographic images easily available on the Internet, magazines like Penthouse simply can't compete.
