webfact Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Playboy Magazine Will No Longer Publish Fully Nude PhotosBY CRISSY MILAZZOLOS ANGELES: -- 'Playboy is Done With Nudes' reads like an Onion headline, but here we are. Apparently, the magazine that made its mark on our culture with millions of images of naked women is buttoning up: they're done printing fully nude photos. Why the sudden change? Are they on the wrong side of the #FreeTheNipple Instagram war, or is this just for the art of it all?It would appear that it's the latter. According to the New York Times, Cory Jones, a top editor at Playboy, met with Hugh Hefner last month at the Playboy Mansion to discuss a change in strategy. Jones proposed that the magazine stop publishing nude images, and Hefner, now 89, agreed.Full story: http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2015/10/playboy-stops-publishing-nudes-photos-- COMPLEX 2015-10-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Playboy without nudity defeat the purpose of its existence, like an airplane with out wings and car without wheels, what are they going to show now? fully dressed bunnies? it's like looking at your sister,, who's going to buy it? surly not for the culinary and home keeping articles in it....

Seastallion Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It was only ever for all the true stories it printed, anyway. I haven't even seen one for maybe 30 years, let alone picked one up. Like xxx movies, after you've seen a dozen or so, you've seen them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 In a way, it makes sense. Much more hard core porn is free and easily available to all with ONE CLICK. They can't compete with that, so why bother with the continued farce? When I was a kid it was either the Sears catalog or Playboy. That's it.

RKASA Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Back in The early 70's I got a years worth - Living temp in New York for almost a year at the time my friends and I all signed up for the playboy club keys in New York. It was the best place to have parties and and go for drinks and buffet especially on Friday as we got warmed up for the weekends. Coat and tie required, but that gig works pretty good in New York anyway. Turned out to be a great deal in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbalEd Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) The yet-to-be-defined keyword here is "total nudity." What does that mean? Bare breasts but no muffin? Or what? It appears the perrinial lie, "I only read Playboy for the articles", is finally coming true. Meanwhile the article's stats say a lot about the PC conservatism of mellinials.

HerbalEd Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 What's left to publish --------------------------------???? Death knell of 'Playboy'!! A death knell for Playboy MAGAZINE perhaps ... as with many other magazines of late. But, did you read the entire article? It says Playboy's on-line traffic has increased by a very large margin because of this change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al007 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Sad news playboy was always up market, and defined a lifestyle, that has also probably gone Good news is living in Thailand the real stuff is readily available, to browse, to feel or whatever, you pay your money you take your choice We will survive ! ! ! !

reptile91602 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Cory Jones, a top editor at Playboy or somebody way up there must be gay. That soves the mystery! All the terrible airbrushing ruined it for me a long time ago. Edited October 13, 2015 by reptile91602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitnesspm Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) <deleted> Feminists!!!!! The dysfunctional feminists had Zoo magazine ban this year in Australia which caused them to go bust and Men's Fitness published for the first time a woman on the front of their magazine. Next in the west will be charged with rape if us men touch a woman without her consent. The west gets worst every year...
