I'd hate to be a teenager again. For one thing, the potential pool of adolescent wanking material just got smaller. Penthouse files Chapter 11.

There is no shortage of adolescent wanking material. That's WHY Penthouse filed for bankruptcy.

In a sense, Penthouse created a mainstream market for a certain style of erotica. Before Penthouse, the market for erotica was perhaps 1/100th of what they made it. Sure, their stories were pure wank material. But I think they created a spark in many people's mind that maybe words can convey sexual stimulation.
