Playboy magazine will stop publishing images of fully nude women from March 2016.
In an interview with a newspaper, CEO Scott Flanders said that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner had agreed with a proposal to stop publishing images of naked women from March 2016, The Guardian reports.
The magazine would still feature a Playmate of the Month and provocative pictures of women, but they would be rated PG-13.
Cory Jones, chief content officer of Playboy, said that the magazine would be more accessible and more intimate.
The website has already been given a makeover and made safe to read at work, which will attract younger readers and increase the web traffic.
Playboy was founded by Hugh Hefner 62 years ago.
