Priceless ha ha! I am seriously thinking of proposing a book that chronicles the relationship that closeted gay men from the 1970’s to the 90’s had with Playgirl magazine. Particularly the incredibly fraught negotiations we did with ourselves around perusing, purchasing or in some cases the out and out shoplifting of them from convenience stores. The helpless lust, the sweating, the terror and the gamble. The giddiness! And the relief and joy of actually getting one home!I loved his pictorial! So hot. For some reason his current pic hit me unlike any of the others.
Was obsessed with him in my closeted days. Late night walking into a convenience store, I’d
purchase a Playgirl along with a Playboy and was sure to let the cashier know my girl asked me to get her a Playgirl when I pick up my Playboy. God the stress. And drama haha.
I’ve heard countless anecdotes like yours on the Internet over the last 20 years or so. I certainly have my own embarrassing stories to tell.I think it could be hilarious and poignant and fascinating reading!
