Fantastic picture. I love, love, love seeing girls with pubic hair like that.
Cool socks, too.

. . . we celebrate the introduction of the Big Rip, our first ever removable centerfold.
Wow, these print guys aren't taking this new-fangled internets stuff laying down, are they?
And speaking of laying down . . . that is a most fetching pose.

I was certainly disappointed they opted to use Tila as their cover model for the issue.

They're grasping ... post-Gooch.
The editor is a solid guy, former GQ.
Oddly, they are going back to the softer eroticism of the 7os, and my first memorable teenage wood. (Penthouse was not need to spring the wood, only to subdue it and end the torture, albeit briefly :::sigh:::)
I think it's cool 14 year old boys are whacking off to pics of Sasha.

Im confused about how I stand on penthouse. sasha grey penthouse pet for june 2007? That is one HUGE contradiction. Boca Raton Investor Marc Bell bought Penthouse when Guccione's company went bankrupt. Bell said he wanted to clean up Penthouse. And he did. all the really good sex pictorials that penthouse used to have, Bell wont print anymore. but his magazine goes and make a porn star penthouse pet of the month. Its a contradiction to me. I used to love penthouse. I loved penthouse from 96 to 2004. Its a contradiction to me that they use a porn star, but they wont print actual porn. all of a sudden, a vagina is a dirty thing, at penthouse. Penthouse has become Playboy.

Actually, Penthouse has become Maxim. Sorta.
There was no profit to be made peddling hardcore. IN fact, it limited the magazine's sales at the newsstand. Playboy sells over 3 million copies a month. Penthouse was below 600,000 when Guccione bowed out. But my enjoyment of the magazine began long before hardcore became an option in the '90s, and for me its appeal was sexy ladies and hipster prose (guys like Robert Palmer Jr. and Nick Tosches used to write in the "brown paper" culture section) and those letters, which I whacked off to as much as the pictures. Later, I find out they were all fake, written by some now-famous scribes. But that was the beginning of my affair with pornography: at least, it was "literary" porn ... of a sort. Monopede mania! LOL.
I think what Penthouse is doing by employing porn stars for tame photo sets is using the porn image without manufacturing porn itself. Which is what Maxim does to great effect. For me, I can get all the explicit extremism online or DVD ... there's something pretty cool about old-fashioned eroticism on camera. I don't know if it's mad strokable. But it's fun to look at. I collect a lot of Taschen-style photo books, some hardcore some not, and it's one of my favorite kinds of image-driven amusement.
And if they use guys like Terry Richardson, the shots are gonna be way edgier than Playboy, which is hugely lame, and more artful than Hustler, which can be pretty hot if its a Suze Randall-type deal, but doesn't look different enough from actual porn usually to commmand my $7.95 (if I want that I'll grab a Buttman magazine ... which is the best skin mag going ... )

Penthouse has advertisements for alcohol within its glossy pages so that excludes anyone that is not yet 21 or over from being on the cover thats the ONLY reason why i'm not front center ...i asked before we even shot.

Whoever thought that rule up has had a bit too much of the glossy alcohol, if you ask me.
But anyway.

circulation less than 600,000? big deal. 550,000+ per month is still a big circulation. thats still close to fifty million a year revenue. plus advertising, and they could have still had a nice profit if they restructured their costs. And guccione also was guilty of investing huge amounts of money into other business ventures that never materialized into anything profitable, Pebthouse when it got hardcore put out some incredibly sexy stuff. you cant compare or contrast their circulation to playboy. Penthouse was never a product that by design was supposed to compete with playboy. Penthouse was more designed to compete with Hustler. Playboy can still sustain five million circulation? great! Penthouse could have made a profit with their smaller circulation, but guccione didnt control expenses. And he could have possibly come out with a second magazine to compete with playboy. I think its a contradiction of the magazine-buying public, that the public loves playboy for the articles as much as the pictures. YET Penthouse put out some great aricles in the guccione days. but the public chose to discredit the worthiness of those articles, just because of othe hardcore content.

i agree that penthouse went down the tubes when it dropped the hardcore pics...i subscribed in 2004 because of that and because hustler was a little too expensive at the time, and two months in, they totally go soft...i read playboy for the articles but i liked penthouse for the pics..not any more though

Congrats to Sasha.
I had similar experiences with Penthouse (and Playboy) as others have mentioned; once they decided to jump on the Maxim/FHM/Stuff/Blender bandwagon and become "men's magazines" rather than pornography, I opted to stop buying.
But perhaps I'll make an exception for this issue. Congratulations, once again, Ms. Grey and love the new avatar. ;)

Congrats to Sasha for being featured as a Penthouse Pet, not just a model in the mag. As mentioned by others on this thread, Sasha joins a long, long, long line of porn girls who have been Pets in the past including Traci Lords, Sunset Thomas, Racquel Darrien, and Devon. Not bad company.
That said, I can't say that I'm real thrilled with the Penthouse photos...Sasha has looked much better. Still, as a career move, this is good for Sasha. Expanded name recognition (beyond the hardcore, internet porn crowd) is always good for a performer's upward mobility. In Sasha's case the Penthouse gig puts Sasha back on-track. She worked very hard in many, many videos in 2006, and was my second choice (behind Naomi) as Best New Starlet. Yet she lost out on most awards, and with newbies like Bree Olson, Paulina James, and Casey Parker coming up fast, there's been less buzz about her lately. Being a Penthouse Pet now has people talking about her again.
Sasha appears to be a smart, clear-headed girl, who is committed to a career in porn. I hope being selected Penthouse Pet moves Sasha closer to whatever goals she has set for herself.

I would say Paulina's got a good shot since she signed a contract with SexZ, but we'll see and I hope Bree lasts awhile longer though she's seemingly on every cover these days, not that I mind-- her performance and looks are among the best I've seen in some time.

no more girl/girl sex in PH = no credibility…
as much as congrats are due Miss Grey (who i recently, cock in hand, watched wash her hair with like ten loads in Wet Food), for a photo shoot with a great artist like Terry Richardson (whom I know she's a big fan of) Penthouse has had a very hard time looking like a "respectable" mag should. It designed as if it is still 1985…
as for PH competing with Maxim, too little too late, as its star is fading…

Congratulations to Sasha Grey. Great photo shoot. It would have been better if some guy was giving you dick in the photos though. Nevertheless they were great.
But Penthouse sucks. I just canceled my subscrition. I gave it a whirl for a year. I'm going back to reading and jacking to Fox Magazine. I'll maybe even give Cheri a whirl.
You can't beat those cum targets in Fox Magazine. Now if Penthouse did that, then I might renew.

While this is a thread about Sasha, I'll answer your question.
1. Bree has a tremendous fan base, and seems to have avoided the #1 Porn Girl Mistake: moving to LA permanently. So, by not living in the alternate universe of porn 24/7,she may be able to keep in touch with reality...and see the business, and her career for what they are. And not what everybody in the LA porn scene says.
2. Casey Parker seems to have a good career plan in place and landed a contract early. So she doesn't have to worry about rent money. And the need for rent money usually leads porn girls to working for the multitude of no-talent directors in the biz, who use up performers/spit-them-out in six months time, and are destroying the industry.
3. Paulina James has the looks and sexiness to last in the biz. She's just signed with a company, which should mean that she will have people promoting her. Of course, that assumes her employer possesses know-how, and the finances to survive in these tough economic times for the industry. Iffy.

hope i don't get scolded by moderators or Sasha herself,but,here goes...
i went to a Roger Waters concert in Toronto Saturday nite and bumped into some major Smashing Pumpkins fans at an after party... one of the guys said Billy Corgan was dating a porn star...i had read somewhere that Sasha was suppossed to be involved in album cover for their new album...upon checking her myspace i came upon picture of both of them in corner and her last blog entry,she said she and billy were good friends...in celebrity gossip when someone sez they're good friends,that usually means they've been dating for a couple months...if it's true i'm happy for you Sasha...
