Top Pentagon Official: Playboy, Penthouse, Nude Not ‘Sexually Explicit;’ Allowed on Military Bases

By: American Decency Staff

Adult magazines Playboy, Penthouse, and Nudewill continue to be allowed on military installations because their material is not "sexually explicit," a top Pentagon official wrote.

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness and Force Management Frederick Vollrath defended these magazines as "not sexually explicit" last week in response to a June complaint by anti-pornography group Morality in Media.

Addressing Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, the group's letter "respectfully requests that you order the removal of all items of pornography for sale in military exchange services, commissaries, and ships to help curb the plague of sexual assaults that afflict the United States Military at this time."

The accusation of a "sexual assault plague" refers to a controversial Department of Defense (DOD) survey, released in May, which reports over 26,000 troops experienced "unwanted sexual contact" in 2012, as opposed to only 19,300 in 2010.
