The Playboy world of fantasy and luxury is brought to life in vivid scenery and settings that feature sensational and utterly glamorous women, each of whom is showcased by a series of high-end theatrical vignettes that sometimes spill into non-penetration sex. In each model presentation there is always the sense of a hot interlude not being completely fulfilled, as all traces of aggressive desire are scripted away. This is where Playboy separates itself from porn -- the latter of which is also at its best when it is about a fantasy life free from burden, but with ardent, smoldering sex as a visual reward to compliment the world of material gain.

All 10 '90s Playboy Playmates of the Year are available here. Lingerie fans will be happy too.
