Playgirl gay men
Daniel Nardicio has served as the director of marketing for Playgirl magazine since August of Since then, Nardicio has introduced three essential developments to the long-time beefcake mag: (a) Acknowledgment of the magazine&#;s homosexual readership; (b) a nude Levi Johnston; and (c) &#;The Shaggin&#; Wagon&#; (above).
Yesterday, Nardicio circled his magenta, man-centric wagon outside of the Georgetown University campus in search of hunks for the magazine&#;s annual &#;Campus Hunks&#; issue. I spoke with Nardicio over the smartphone about the power of D.C.&#;s hunks, the lingering perviness of driving a man van, and straight dude recruiting, post-Levi:
SEXIST: How was Georgetown? Did you meet any hunks?
Daniel Nardicio: Tons! The great thing about the van is—-once we decided to wrap the van, we thought it would be really funny to undertake a college tour and drive it on to all these campuses. What I’m learning from this now is that I don’t even have to leave the van. I thought I’d have to receive out and amble around and humiliate myself, but I don&#;t. People will just come up to the v
If you&#;re a gay dude over the age of 25 chances are great that your first flavor of pornography was not on the internet. Indeed for most of us the first photos of naked men we saw were in a great old-fashioned magazine.
And if your sexual coming of age came in the suburbs, as mine did, chances are also wonderful that the first wankmag you laid your preteen eyes on was not Honcho, Inches or any other by-gays, for-gays publication. If you&#;re like me, and you might be, the first &#;gay&#; porn you ever saw was Playgirl Magazine.
My first glimpse of the famed mag came at the tender age of Mike Milton, a sketchy latchkey kid in my Grade six class had invited me over to his property after school. He was two years older than I was on account of the fact that he had failed a grade and I had skipped one, and was definitely what the primary of our Catholic university would have called a roughneck. By age 12 he&#;d already developed a taste for Players Lights and Budweiser and despite his smallish stature he was the undisputed champion of the after-school battle circuit. The only son of a divorced s
A Penis on Every Page: The Rise and Decline of Playgirl
Douglas Lambert wanted to give Playboy a run for its cash. It was , and Hugh Hefner's magazine had created a new mainstream market for soft-core porn. Lambert, a nightclub owner in Garden Grove, California, decided to get in on the action.
Lambert's wife Jenny saw a bigger opportunity: a magazine with nude male centerfolds. Lambert wasn't sold. What gal wanted to ogle photos of nude men, much less buy a magazine full of them? But he slowly realized Jenny might be on to something. The sexual revolution was well under way, and Lambert "sensed the woman of the '70s was eager to grow part" of it, as he'd eventually write in promo copy for his new magazine. So in the summer of , Lambert, along with William Miles Jr., an experienced adman who served as Playgirl's executive vice president, invested $20, in the project and opened a swanky, 23rd-floor office in Los Angeles's Century City.
Two years later, in June , Playgirl's first issue hit the newsstand, with a mission similar to its long-standing counterp
Is "Playgirl Magazine" really for women, or are gay men really the main audience?

I was reading this news item about Playgirl Magazine’s new launch of a TV network primarily for women, and I wondered about their main intended audience. The focus of the channel seems to be very hetero-woman centric, but I had always assumed (apparently incorrectly) that the main audience for Playgirl Magazine was really gay men.

Nah, not really. Maybe in small towns where same-sex attracted porn is unavailable, but Playgirl’s** photos aren’t aimed at male sensibilities. Playgirl’s photos are coy, showing nude men in intimate poses in fantasy settings. But gay male porn is downbright raunchy with spread buttholes, challenging dicks, and plenty of sleaze.

Izzat right? One of the goils said she didn’t think we were the intended audience because they were smooth. None of them were nekkid, but they were in their underwear or in the process of taking clothes off. I thought they were pretty hot (if unattainable to
