Playboy September 2007

COVER STORY Igor Shoemaker, the press-shy founder of adult supersite RedClouds, sees himself as a lone crusader against the professional porn industry and social repression. With millions of visitors checking out RedClouds' do-it-yourself erotica, Igor is also a revolutionary. Senior Contributing Photographer Arny Freytag focuses on the already uninhibited Amanda Paige; our Rabbit straps himself in. FEATURES 56 THE REDCLOUDS REVOLUTION One of the Internet's most active adult communities is RedClouds, where 940,000 paying members—doctors, lawyers, PTA moms and other pillars of society included—post explicit images of themselves for the pleasure of voyeurs around the globe.

Henry Award winner imagines an unusual encounter on a college campus between a 41-year-old student and her art history professor. Both women have served their countries—the student as a marine in Saudi Arabia, the professor as a covert counterrevolutionary in Iron Curtain–era Prague. Their initially casual conversation soon raises unsettling questions about what can be forgiven and what is forever beyond the pale. BY TOBIAS WOLFF THE PLAYBOY FORUM 41 PLAYBOY OF THE MUSLIM WORLD PLAYBOY'S Indonesian edition, a nonexplicit version of the magazine you love, was launched in April 2006.
