Playboy No Nudes No more

Gatling

So it seems Playboy magazine is dropping nude models from there magazine,
From March playboy will no longer feature nude pictures instead they will have provocatively posed ladies likely now only in lingerie .
It's been decided nude picture's are passe in the Internet age .

This a sad day

I only ever read it for the articles anyway.

Considering the amount of airbrushing, photoshopping and other crap they've been employing, one could argue they haven't be featuring actual nude women for many years now.

This is also true but the majority were nude when airbrushed .

Wonder how their sales figures have looked over the past 10 years or so. With the explosion of easily available online porn (source: online news articles..) you'd wonder who buys the dirty mag anymore.

I see a business opportunity here , an Irish version.

Buachaill sugartha ,

Suggestions on a postcard to your local sergeant, GP or school principal.

I'm going to suggest Twink first , well maybe not Twink .

Does this mean they will not longer put playboy on the top shelf? Move it down to beside GQ magazine?

I'd imagine most of their revenue comes via their website these days. And through merchandising.

Fashion porn is where its at these days - smut in the name of art and design! (google agent provocateur fleurs du mal)

...if Jesus shone like a car that's just been waxed, ye'd be right on there. Personally I'd find pics of marble statues more warm looking that that particular photo shoot, but maybe that's age catching up on me.

I may, though purely for scientific and research purposes.

The US penthouse was good (this is going back to the late 80's/early 90's), but playboy was a tad tame and tended to feature "cheerleader" sorts a lot. For the discerning sleaze bucket it was a bit "meh".

Aye. Its like searching for bears or downloading stuff just because it has BBC in the title - may come as a shock.

Playboy (esp the US version) was surely the dullest "porn" publication ever and that was for a long time the secret of its success - you couldn't be considered a deviant really but maybe "misguided!" . Safe poses and vanilla models who looked increasingly like one another but the internet where "Hustler" and "Private" values flourished meant the airbrushed thing was doomed.

"mind expanding" certainly. Wary of initials in the title definitely.

I get it free every month and I generally just quickly flick thorough it. It will be even less interesting now.

Tbh seeing twelve yr old girls with playboy pencil cases and bling kinda ruined it for me. It's had its day and doesn't really have a niche anymore.

Indeed - Barbie dolls eventually all fading into one indistinguishable silicon bosomed white toothed all-American type.

No doubt this latest forced retreat from red-blooded-maleness was surreptitiously engineered by the combined-command-cabal leadership of feminists, the PC brigade, 'lefties', pink-marshmallow fanciers, gays, thespians and whatever other group the good ol boys have decided to blame for their inadequacies and insecurities.

But there'll be aspirational lifestyle articles and stuff about expensive junk....

Aw shucks, reminds me of how my friend brought me in a Playboy magazine from the 90s to entertain myself when I was in hospital as he'd guessed (correctly) that porn sites were blocked by the hospital wifi :pac: I didn't even recognise Pamela Anderson! I was shocked by all of the bush though, so glad that most women shave these days

I think it's more to do with falling sales and a desire to rebrand as a legitimate publication. The last few years the quality of the writing has improved but with its dirty mag image they struggle to be taken seriously. I don't think you can blame feminists for this one.

I'd give it five more years before they're pulling the shutters down on the whole operation. Unless they can find another angle to work off of.

What's the "playboy"?

Is that the fabled Nintendo Sony collaboration discovered recently?

NachoBusiness

This just means they are going back to the 60s and 70s Playboy as there was no real nudity then either.

Pubic Hair Monthly would have been a more apt title.

The magazine yeah it will be a GQ / Original FHM type publication online only for the most part the brand is still making money including the hardcore side ,

riclad

It makes sense to me ,most people have smart phones ,tablets .
IF they want to see nude models there,s the web.
There were pretty good articles in playboy ,music ,film reviews,interviews .They dont just employ interns to write articles like certain websites .
This gives them acess to a wider market,
so it makes sense .
I think it was about 12 years ago playboy was first sold legally in irish newsagent,s .
It was funny cos certain models and actress,s would appear in playboy
to give their career a boost .
Maybe when they needed the money ,
a few years after the peak of their career .
It,s like reading a real book ,vs an ebook on a phone .
i,d prefer to read a real book on a train vs reading an ebook.
You could say why does anyone buy rolling stone , hot press etc
when all the articles are avaidable to read on the website free .

Playboy? Nudes? Lads there were football matches on tonight. And you lot are worried about nudes!!!!😮

Suprised it's still on sale tbh. Even in the late '90s you could get porn for free and it was easy to find (ah, worldsex.com - which still exists and looks almost the same, interestingly) you just needed some patience with the aul 56k modem.
