Playboy Magainze re-brand the ideal of featuring naked women

Get ready for more articles — of clothing, because Playboy will no longer feature naked women.

 

The iconic magazine known for its sexy centerfolds and racy spreads of nude ladies will start covering up the Playmates and celebrities who pose for its pages starting in March, the New York Times first reported 

Monday.

The decision to partially clothe the pin-ups was approved last month by Hugh Hefner, the 89-year-old editor in chief who founded the magazine in 1953, according to the Times.

The availability of pornography on the Internet helped shape the decision, company executives told the paper.

“That battle has been fought and won,” said Scott Flanders, the company’s chief executive. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free.”
