Back when Playboy was "the men's magazine you read for the articles," they always had an extensive interview with a major public figure. Often it would be someone with a moral component to their careers, like religious figures or politicians, and they would be criticized for lending their credibility to what many felt was pornography.

Inevitably, every one justified it by saying, "If you want to reach the sinners, you can't wait for them to come to you, you have to go to them."
