Joy Beune Sets Playboy Sales Record

Joy Beune, the world champion speed skater from the Netherlands, has generated significant buzz after posing nude for the December issue of Playboy, which features her on the cover wearing only gloves. The magazine's sales have skyrocketed, leading to a reprint, as it sold ten times more copies than usual, marking a historic moment for Playboy Netherlands, according to editor-in-chief Niek Stolker. Beune, who previously struggled with body image issues, expressed surprise at the overwhelmingly positive feedback she received, countering her initial fears of criticism. Encouraged by her boyfriend, fellow speed skater Kjeld Nuis, Beune embraced the opportunity, highlighting her newfound confidence. This collaboration has made her a prominent figure in the magazine, being the biggest name to pose for Dutch Playboy in over a decade. Beune's popularity and achievements add to her appeal, as she recently won gold medals in multiple events at the championship.
