'Playboy' Isn't Going to Publish Nude Photos Anymore
Magazine redesigns are frequent and standard; Playboy, launched in 1953, is getting its latest in March. There's sort of a big note about this one, though, as nude photos will no longer be part of the once boundary-pushing publication.
That's the sound of everyone who's ever said "I read it for the articles" racking up 100,000 cred points. (Which is the way things should be; have you read a Playboy Interview?)
The magazine's decades-long duel against puritanical American values around sexuality and nudity "has been fought and won," according to Playboy CEO Scott Flanders. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free," he tells the New York Times. "And so it’s just passé at this juncture.”
