(14 Oct 2015) SHOWING LESS SKIN: PLAYBOY TO STOP RUNNING NUDE PHOTOS
You won't find any naked women in the pages of Playboy.
The magazine confirms that as of next March, it will no longer publish photos of fully nude women. Readers will still see women in provocative poses, but they won't be fully nude.
It marks a major shift for the magazine -- which broke new ground when it was created in 1953, with Marilyn Monroe on its first cover.
It's also the latest move by Playboy away from images of full nudity, which were banned from the magazine's website last year.
"You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it's just pass� at this juncture," Playboy Enterprises CEO Scott Flanders told The New York Times, which first reported the change.
In a move Playboy said had the blessing of the 89-year-old Hefner, the magazine will continue to publish what it called "sexy, seductive pictorials of the world's most beautiful women." But those women will presumably have some clothes on.
It's the end of an era, many said Tuesday (13 OCT. 2015.)
"It's going to be an interesting transition because they have a very long history of being known as porno for gentleman and now there's going to be strictly a gentleman's magazine if they're going to go away from porn," said Daniel Makover of Tel Aviv while visiting New York.
Other said they don't think the change will work.
"Quite honestly to be blunt I think they're going to lose a lot of people. As great as it is that they are trying to stay current and stay up-to-date, I think that people look at that magazine to see naked women," said New York resident Carissa Woolf.
"Honestly it doesn't bother me having nudes or not having nudes but they kind of screwed up their whole business plan because I don't see them having too much success as a magazine after this," added Jacob Poore, who is also from New York.
During Playboy's print heyday, readers could claim they read it for its fiction, journalism and interviews. 
It published the work of such writers as John Updike, Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Ray Bradbury and Joseph Heller, and interviewed the likes of Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan.
