Actually, you're right...usually.  Every once in a while, God can even use
Playboy to zap one with an insight into a twist in one's own feelings about
relationships, sexuality, or whatever.

I could comment that you don't need Playboy, since you have access to a woman
who is beautiful to you (I have no idea of her physical appearance, but she's
certainly beautiful to you) at any time you reasonably desire -- and not just
to a view of her, but to her reality.  Of course, in order for you to not need
or want to examine Playboy, this would also imply that you are strong enough
to handle having a real woman in your life, who may not always behave quite the
way you would most want, and who has some degree of control over you -- as
distinct from fantasies (with or without the aid of photos), which you control
entirely.  More power to you!  I'm not sure I'm at that point; the thought of
having an SO, now that I examine it more closely, is frightening.
