Playmen was an Italian adult entertainment magazine. It was founded in 1967 by a mother of three, Adelina Tattilo,[1] achieving fame as Italy's version of Playboy magazine.[2]

The magazine was published monthly and featured photographs of nude women, and articles on fashion, sport, consumer goods, and public figures. Playmen's use of "tasteful" nude photos is classified as softcore in contrast to hardcore pornographic magazines. It ceased publication in 2001.
