I'm reading it just for the articles.

But Men will now be believed when the wifes find the newer Playboy Magazines.

So now when men try to tell their wives that "I'm reading it just for the articles" it's should be believed

As long as they have women tied up, it doesn't really matter if they're naked or not.. I'm guessing Playboy is trying to attract a teenager audience as well. I came of age during the early 2000s, so I never really had the need to have a Playboy, I'm not even sure if I have ever seen one in my life.

I recall, many years ago, Jose Feliciano having a braille edition of Playboy confiscated from him after trying to smuggle it into South Africa. So, yes. Some men read it for the articles.

Were the pictures in braille too? Lol.

LOL, that reminds of the scene from "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" where the blind servant has a braille Playboy.

I understand that is the basic reason behind the decision. When Playboy started, the pictures were something new and edgy. Now there is literally not a single human activity you can't see images of with a few mouse clicks, usually for free. So tame, static images of nude ladies are a bit passe. Certainly nothing you'd go out of your way to buy a magazine to see.

Playboy's always had great writing. Many serious authors and cartoonists started out submitting to them.

Indeed, as a young teenager I found my Dad's old stash of them from the early 80s, and, while I admit I pretty well seared every pictorial into my 13 year old brain, eventually I read them all pretty much cover to cover. It was seriously enlightening reading, much of it, and at least some of my core beliefs and sense of self derive from what I read there. I'd sincerely suggest similar reading for any other young, curious man.

Personally, when FHM and Maxim came around, I thought their pics were much better without nudity then Playboy's with nudity. And the articles were interesting too.
