Pubic Wars Pubic Wars, a pun on the Punic Wars, is the name given to the rivalry between the pornographic magazines "Playboy" and "Penthouse" during the 1960s and 1970s. Each magazine strove to show just a little bit more than the other, without getting too crude. The term was coined by "Playboy" owner Hugh Hefner. In 1950s and 1960s America, it was generally agreed that nude photographs were not pornographic unless they showed pubic hair or genitals. "Respectable" photography was careful to come close to, but not cross over, this line. Consequently, the depiction of pubic hair was "de facto" forbidden in U.S. pornographic magazines.
