Good news for those of you who “only read it for the articles:” Playboy now has a safe-for-work website. TheSmokingJacket.com, named for one of Hugh Hefner’s favorite articles of clothing, still has lots of lingerie on the front page…but no nudity! “The ideal is to be the go-to site for those who are bored at work,” one site producer tells the AP.

The site is “basically a juke box of cool,” Playboy’s editorial director says, and will feature humorous articles like how to know if a guy’s given up on attracting ladies (he’s wearing Velcro sneakers, for one) and links to funny videos around the web. Looking to be titillated? You’ll also be able to find photos from the Playboy archives…just not naked photos.
