Page 3 outdated?

I must admit I don’t really get the whole page 3 thing. It seems so random to me 🤷🏻‍♀️. I remember my two seeing page 3 in a paper and asking ‘why?’ It was a really difficult question to answer because I thought to myself I don’t know tbh. I assume it’s for sexual gratification, just seems ridiculous to me. Especially in this day and age. What do you think?

I agree, there are plenty of explicit magazines readily available, not to mention the internet. I'm not morally outraged by it, just don't see the point.

It never bothered me, i felt a little sorry for the women who lost some income/start when page3 went

It’s outdated now. As snuggly says there are other ways of viewing this type of material. I personally don’t like page 3 to be honest.

Do any papers still do the page 3 stunna?

Even the Sun doesn't do it any more. There's often a girl in a bikini on page 3 (eg today it's a publicity shot of Brie Larson next to an article about the new Captain Marvel movie) but no bare boobs any more.

Admittedly I am ancient.

I went to school with a lass who did page 3, they did a five day strip tease to tits out on her 16th.
I can remember how bloody surreal it was everyone chatting about it in the co-op. She was a local celeb for it.
