Female lack of understanding of Playboy or Penthouse

Women don't seem to understand that a guy can only look at a Playboy centerfold or Penthouse Pet-of-the-Month once or twice. A certain woman in a certain pose, and then a guy is bored—and all he has to look forward to is next month's Playboy or Penthouse, or both.
Guys understand, babes don't get it.
Guys just aren't into eyeballing—yeah, eyeballing—the same old Pets or Centerfolds over and over, see.
Why else is it that guys keep buying new magazines every month?
You'd think they'd have collected enough centerfolds to gawk at and come over for several lifetimes.
But no, next month a guy will buy another Playboy, another Penthouse.
Same old thing, only different.
Guys get this, babes don't.
Actually, some babes get it—but they don't want to.
But if they did, and they wanted to despite the negatives, they'd be onto something big—right here. Big enough, and helpful enough, to save a lot of situations...
For a start, is it last month's Playboy centerfold's fault that the guy doesn't especially want to gawk at her anymore, but wants to gawk at this month's centerfold instead? Does last month's Playboy centerfold need to upset herself over this, maybe feel guilty, like she has failed.
Fact is, many a woman does not get why a guy has to buy a Playboy or Penthouse to begin with. After all, he has her.
This is a serious misunderstanding.
