Playboy  magazine, known the world over for its naked girls, has announced that it will not allow nudity in its newly released iPhone application, calling on users to instead “use their imagination.”

The application will respect Apple's content standards so will not feature nudity, a spokeswoman for Playboy told the Los Angeles Times.

There will still be pictures, but users will need more imagination to enjoy them, the spokeswoman said.

Playboy's iPhone application will feature specific content like articles from the magazine and lifestyle content but will not include the photos that it is most famous for.

The application's content includes the pictures of clothed girls, the official description says, alerting users to the lack of nudity with the words “non-nude” in capitals.

Even though the application will not feature nudity, only users older than 17 years old will be allowed to download the application.

Playboy was founded in Chicago in 1953 by Hugh Hefner.
