Whew! I'm glad to see so many in disagreement with posing for playboy. What is she trying to prove? Chances are, if she's a beautiful woman, peple recognize that anyway--with her clothes on. I have to wonder if she's really considered the ramifications here. Is she really prepared for the inevitable backlash she'll get from the community? If she thinks it won't eventually get to every social circle, she's kidding herself. She's being very selfish. Also, I don't want to bring up a sore spot here, but why would she feel the need to change Greg's name to Gina in her cell phone? You'd better check into that one quickly. There's really no good explanation for that one. She wouldn't be trying to hide it if there were.
Furthermore, although there's NO justification for rape (and it is NEVER a woman's fault when a man rapes her), she's opening herself up to perverts within the community as well. She's leaving nothing to the imagination. I'm appalled at the way men look at me and I'm fully clothed. It's repulsive. If I strip down for them publicly, their imaginations can run rampant. Who's to say one of them might not be waiting on her at her car after one of her workouts?
My guess is, she thinks she's going to pose for Playboy and she'll walk down the street and every head will turn in awe and say "Wow, I wish my wife was that hot. Can you believe she's had kids?" She thinks all the women will be jealous. The funny thing is, I doubt they'll be as jealous as they are pissed. They'll wonder why she's married if she's trying to turn the heads of every other man out there. They'll just view her as a homewrecker. She's expecting lots of accolades. I seriously doubt she's considered the lack of respect she'll receive.
Also, it's not at all controlling to ask your wife not to show her body off. When she married you, you became one with her. You have every right to state your concerns there. Stick to your guns on that one. Remind her that the backlash will also affect you. Good luck.
