Playboy is the first preference of teenage boys to get their first looks at a naked woman. The magazine that launched its first edition with a naked cover photo of Marilyn Monroe announced this week that it will stop publishing nude images of women.
The magazine is published by Hugh Hefner, a well-known playboy. Playboy Enterprises CEO Scott Flanders told The New York Times, “You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it's just passé at this juncture”.
About the recent move, playboy said that with the blessings of the 89-year-old Hefner, it will continue to publish the ‘sexy, seductive images of the world’s most beautiful women’. The only difference in these images will be they won’t be naked.
Author Gay Talese, who wrote about Playboy and Hefner in his 1981 book ‘Thy Neighbor's Wife’ about the sexual revolution, called it an end of an era.
Talese told The Associated Press that Playboy was the first magazine in the mainstream to be called a literary magazine and a magazine for masturbation.
The magazine in its glory days published articles of writers such as John Updike, Jack Kerouac, Ray Bradbury and Joseph Heller. The magazine also interviewed famous personalities likes Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan.
The magazine also brought revolution by publishing nude images of celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Daryl Hannah. It even made stars like Anna Nicole Smith as Playmates of the Month.
