Playboy Unveils a New Magazine for a New Generation; Is No Nudes Good News?

Playboy Magazine unveiled the cover for its March 2016 issue, the first non-nude edition of the magazine in its history. Although the women in the new Playboy magazine don't bare it all, it doesn't mean that the March issue is not one of the sexiest in Playboy's history.

Playboy magazine will officially unveil the most highly-anticipated issue in its 62-year history at the company's annual party during Super Bowl weekend in San Francisco.

"The idea was to look at me from a boyfriend's perspective," cover model Sarah McDaniel said.

The pictorials in the March issue are intimate looks at these beautiful women with a very real, relaxed vibe.

"I know I speak for all involved when I say that creating this new Playboy magazine has been a labor of love for those fortunate enough to work on it," said Playboy Enterprises CEO, Scott Flanders.

"We are exceptionally proud of the end result and are confident that everyone will enjoy reading it as much as we did creating it."

Playboy's editorial team has been rethinking and redesigning the storied publication, using the intellectual, artistic and literary powerhouse years of the 1960s Playboy as their guiding light.

The long-awaited March 2016 issue (on newsstands Friday, February 12) first created headlines last fall when the company announced it would no longer feature explicit nudity in the pages of its magazine.

For the first time since 1985, Playboy magazine will be delivered to newsstands without a polybag.

The magazine will also benefit from mainline newsstand placement and increased distribution, with nearly 1200 new retail locations carrying the magazine for the first time.

The Playboy Interview will be with television news anchor Rachel Maddow on the eve of the Presidential primary season. The 20 Questions this month go to Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, the team behind "Broad City," one of the funniest shows on television.
