Launch of Playboy
On Tuesday, Playboy announced that starting in March its magazine will no longer feature nude models. But for the publication that changed the way sexuality was viewed in America, it is certainly the end of an era. The magazine, founded by Hugh Hefner in , has seen its circulation drop from around 5. But this is impossible to fully confirm since Playboy never tracked the religion of its models. Bernard said she was not quite 18 years old when she posed naked in front of a Christmas tree in something she talked about in an interview 30 years later.

A New Jersey judge apologized after suggesting that a woman should sell her nude photos to Playboy during a revenge porn case. The comment came as Middlesex County Judge Alberto Rivas was presiding over a dispute involving the girlfriend of a married man and the man's wife, NJ. The girlfriend sought to have explicit photos she had sent to her boyfriend returned, claiming the man's wife had sent them to her workplace and feared she would share them on social media as a form of revenge porn. Rivas doubted the woman's allegations, according to court papers , calling it an attempt to embarrass the man's wife. He later apologized for suggesting the woman sell her nude photos to Playboy's Hugh Hefner, who died in Read more: New Jersey judge resigns after controversial ruling in sexual assault case, saying the teen accused of rape came from a 'good family'.

Over the nearly 70 years since Hugh Hefner, who died recently at the age of 91, laid out the first issue of Playboy on his kitchen table, the magazine and his personal lifestyle embodied the ultimate expression of heterosexual male privilege and sexual freedom. Because he was surrounded by young, beautiful women well into old age, celebrants saw in Hefner an almost heroic figure who challenged American sexual puritanism, fought for free speech and lived the ultimate straight male fantasy. Others , especially many feminists, lambasted him for objectifying and exploiting women. I was given unprecedented access to the Playboy company archives in Chicago , and had the opportunity to speak with Hefner about his politics and philosophy. I also spoke to the editors and centerfold Playmates from the era. After years of research, I came to the conclusion that the sexual politics of Hefner and his magazine were much more complicated than most observers — for or against — have acknowledged. In , Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine, was an ordinary man living an ordinary life. He had everything a middle-class man was supposed to want, including a wife and children. But Hefner felt constrained by the conservative post-World War II culture that pressured men like him into traditional domestic life.
