Hey,softcore movies remember in 2015 when Playboyannounced that it would stop publishing images of nude women indefinitely, signifying the end of a 62-year tradition?

After Hugh Hefner's son, Cooper, was made chief creative officer for the magazine last October, he made it his mission to abolish the no nude policy. As an explanation for the new (old) policy, he tweeted this statement about the new (old) direction of the brand:

He claims that "nudity was never the problem" and by re-instilling nudity back into the magazine, Playboyis taking back its identity.
However, in reality, Playboy isn't reallychanging its policy in a drastic manner. Under the former ban, models were technically still nude, but had their hands placed strategically over areas that had previously been freely displayed. Now, the new issue will feature butts and breasts, but none of the full-frontal nudity that was allowed before the no nude ban.
The decision to eliminate nudity in the magazine was originally a plot to make it easier to sell more magazines in stores, but subscription sales plummeted as a result.
Basically, the nude ban and the reinstatement of nudity are just statements of technicalities. By trying to rebrand the magazine, Playboy has revealed more than naked woman: it might not know where it belongs.
