    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

    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!" :D. 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.
