make preferableU.S. magazine Playboy announced that it is bringing back nudity, reversing a sensational decision to stop publishing such photos, BBC reported.
According to Playboy's new chief creative officer Cooper Hefner, the decision to remove nudity entirely "was a mistake".
“I’ll be first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake. Nudity was never the problem because nudity is not a problem. Today we’re taking our identity back and reclaiming who we are,” Cooper Hefner tweeted.
The Playboy magazine was founded by Hugh Hefner in 1953, in 2016 he stopped publishing photos of naked models.
Owners of the edition explained this decision with the fact that the Internet has made nudity outdated, and pornographic magazines were no longer so commercially viable.
The circulation of Playboy has dropped from its peak 5.6 million in the 1970s to below 700,000 last year.
