Playboy No Longer Publishing Naked Lady Pictures

Now you can actually say that you “only read Playboy for the articles.”

Playboy announced today that their magazine will no longer feature nudity, in an effort to increase readership and make people feel comfortable sharing their articles.

They make the point that their nude photos were originally intended to liberate women:

When Hef created Playboy, he set out to champion personal freedom and sexual liberty at a time when America was painfully conservative. Nudity played a role in the conversation about our sexual liberties, and over 62 years the country made great strides politically and culturally.”

…. okay sure, Playboy. But progress is progress.
