Legendary girly mag “Playboy” has revealed that it will no longer contain images of naked women, the declining magazine instead opting to revive its fortunes with “PG-13” imagery.
Playboy CEO Scott Flanders claims nude girls are superfluous:
“That battle has been fought and won. You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture.”
The magazine’s circulation has declined from a peak of some 6 million to only 800,000 today, although by removing nudity from its website their online traffic supposedly increased fourfold.
Whilst the fate of the physical magazine seems obvious, the Playboy brand is however still lucrative, at least when it comes to hawking fashion and other goods, and it seems likely this is a major focus of their future business.
The traditional “for the articles” excuse for reading may finally at least gain some credibility soon – its first non-nude publication is due in March.

Ik heb een nieuw huis gekocht en daarvoor had ik een nieuwe keuken nodig.
Het is een een hele mooie Amerikaanse keuken geworden, met een kookeiland, een grote koelkast en een kookeiland waar we ook kunnen eten en ontbijten.
Mijn trost zijn de mooie design eetkamerstoelen die daaraan staan. Ik
heb ze in een goede eetkamerstoelen webshop gehaald,
waarna de stoelen al snel werden bezorgd!
it is like going to Mcdonald for Salad
Becoming an ecchi mag might be a good step for them.
PLAYBOY obviously never wanted to go full-smut, so there’s no way for them to catch up to regular porn or other hustler style mags anymore.
Going back one step with non-nudes, coupled with their brand name, and being more accessible is a good step, but I’m not sure if it’s gonna do anything for their newstand sales, since no one shops for magazines really anymore.
Only thing i pay attention to in the magazine these months are Dean Yeagle’s stuff anyway
