The five left nothing undisclosed when they went before the cameras and as payment, Playgirl offered "more money than they made on their stock options". Magazine editor Michele Zipp wouldn't reveal exactly how much the magazine paid the men.
"Enron made me bare it all," said Mark Zebrowitz, who worked as a production manger for Enron Oil & Gas in India. "That's all they left me with."
About three dozen former Enron employees had applied for the photo opportunity.
Ronald Williams, who worked for Enron's broadband unit in Houston, said the money the magazine offered was enough to influence his decision to strip.
"It's more than my severance," he said of the $5,600 (£3,800) severance pay many Enron employees complained they never received. "It's a once in a lifetime situation, so I decided to go for it when I was chosen."
The issue, due out in October, will feature profiles of the five men and their experiences with the former energy giant, which filed for bankruptcy in December amid questions about the company's accounting practices.
Mr Williams said he has no expectations or reservations about exposing himself: "The only thing I am hoping for is future employment without the Enron stigma."
