Playboy Will Stop Publishing Nudes

Playboy announced major changes to the long-running men's magazine.

The men's magazine known for its provocative photos (yes, guys we know the real reason you read it is all of the compelling articles) is planning to stop publishing those famously styled photos of women fully nude in its print editions.

According to Scott Flanders the CEO of Playboy Enterprises, previous efforts to revamp Playboy, as recently as three years ago, have never quite stuck. And those who have accused it of exploiting women are unlikely to be assuaged by a modest cover-up. But, according to its own research, Playboy’s logo is one of the most recognizable in the world, along with those of Apple and Nike.

They will however, continue to feature pictures of women. According to the "New York Times," the change will officially start next March. "Playboy" executives say the change was necessary because people now have instant access to sexually explicit material online.
