Playboy is the antithesis of naturism. If you lived in a world
of naked bodies, there would be no need to go out and buy pictures
of them. The basic idea is that clothing reduces the supply of
"scenery". This why playboy can get away with charging you 3 bucks
to look at something that was originally free. I believe Freud had
a word for it: TABOO. It represents dicipline in it's purest form,
without reason. Playboy represents the most sinister form of
phychology, seduction.

You might as well say that if we lived in a world with flowers
there would be no need to paint pictures of flowers.  Photography
lets you see familiar things in a novel way.

That's because they're photographs.  It's very hard for a photograph
to make the first move!
