Jamye Waxman’s Sex.ed has run in Playgirl since 2002, so of course, she had some really insightful thoughts on the recent announcement that their last issue will be printed in January of 2009.

I’m not happy that Playgirl is folding. Not because I’m losing a job, I mean it sucks to go from writing a regular advice column to not writing it, but more because I think that Playgirl, had it listened to some much needed advice since I’ve been part of their pages, could have been something beautiful. There is so much potential for a magazine that appeals to women (and men who like looking at men, and reading about women), but for some reason, in the United States we can’t seem to execute the formula of naked men + intelligent sexual conversation + interesting topics that appeal to women = happy magazine.

It is unfortunate that women won’t have access to anything like this in the U.S. Thankfully, there are a lot of intelligent women out there like Waxman pushing for a positive discussion of sexuality amongst women. The rest of us just post pictures of Bret Michaels…
