Hugh Hefner reportedly wants to see fewer nude women in Playboy.



According to the Chicago-Sun Times, the magazine's founder hopes people will buy Playboy for the articles.

"Explicit sex and hard-core images are commonplace on the internet and TV," he told the Sun-Times.

Hefner suggests the magazine can stand out by running fewer explicit pictorials and more articles, commentary and humour.

He wants "a number of shorter-written pieces, but pieces with real merit, the kind of thoughtful articles people talk about" including features on "the Playboy lifestyle".

With a new editorial director starting next week, Hefner says it's a good time to emphasize the magazine's journalistic and literary strengths.

"We have an opportunity to define who we are and who we ought to be," he added.
