Playboy wasn't the first, but it was the best execution, and served up enough serious editorial on the changing culture to enable it to be more mainstream. Not just semi-naked women, but what a guy could/should wear, manners, cocktail recipes, interviews with game changing people, and pro feminist politics. In the early days, it was Esquire with a little side boob.
He was definitely a major player on the 20th century stage.

He understood that what is not shown is many times more alluring than what is. As opposed to many others who published illustrated gynecology guides. Always a cut above the other offerings.
