Interview for Penthouse

This is an interview from some time ago. I share it because I like it… yes of course I like it, otherwise I ‘d not share it! But, above all I like that I was interviewed for Penthouse, the magazine I used to read secretly as a kid.

Yes, secretly, because when I was a kid there was no internet, and eroticism – to not mention porn – was a taboo. The newsstands were populated with more or less erotic magazines e videotapes. Given the culture of the time, we bought them with a certain embarrassment. I remember once, I was with a school friend of mine and we bought some of these mags, but having to go to school we preferred to get rid of them. We were at the bus terminal, where the drivers usually left the vehicle to have a cigarette and chat with colleagues, so we took advantage of the open window to throw the magazines directly on the driver’s seat. I guess he liked the surprise!

However, times change, many of these magazines have gone into crisis, and that period turns into a funny memory to share.

This is the Dutch version of Penthouse. Not speaking even half a word of Dutch, I used google translator to bring it into English.

I want to thank Carl Peter Yeh for this interview!

Enjoy… and by the way, some of the photographs published with this interview are available as limited edition prints.
