yes you can use the words playboy.... it's no different than using the word toothpaste... a playboy (the noun) is different than Playboy (the magazine/empire)... now.. how you market it is different.. that's the key.

www-playboy.com.. you are fucked.

im-a-playboy.com... different... and most likely fine.

im-a-playboy-playmate.com... playboy playmate is trademarked... no way

shesmyplaymate.com.. good chance you are fine, as long as you don't ever address anything about playboy

shesaplaymate.com... probably not, even if your girl is a playboy playmate, they guard their stuff pretty hard

this-is-playboy.com.... tough.. probably gonna lose on that one

It all depends on the wording... then of course you have to distance yourself from the branding of playboy... so why choose the name in the first place??? the obvious choice is so you can cash in on it... therefore, you can't use it for that.
