1953 First Centerfold

December 1953 Hugh Hefner published the first Playboy magazine selling at 50 cents each; 54,175 copies were sold. Marilyn Monroe being the "Sweetheart of the Month" was the first playmate that made the centerfold.

Question:

Has Playboy impacted today? If so is it a good impact or a bad impact?
