Playboy Will No Longer Publish Nude Photos

In a shocking announcement, Playboy says that you will no longer find any nude photos in the pages of their long-running men's magazine.

NBC News reports that Playboy's top editor, Cory Jones, convinced Hugh Hefner to make the change after sales of the magazine continue to plummet. In it's heyday, Playboy had over 5.6 million readers. That number peaked in 1975 and has now dropped to just around 800,000 readers.

Playboy blames easy access to nudity and porn on the Internet for the lack of interest in their spreads. Also, changing views on the objectification of women has made the idea of a Playboy "bunny" seem old and outdated to some. Getting rid of the nudity isn't the only change readers will see over the next few months. Other tweaks to the magazine could include completely doing away with the centerfold all-together.

Playboy says that there will still be provocative photos in their magazine, but none that cross the line of nudity. More focus will be given to the reason everyone claims to read the magazine for in the first place: the articles.

We want to know what you think. Does Playboy's decision to drop nudity make sense? Or will this decision stop you from reading the magazine from now on?
