A PENIS ON EVERY PAGE.
“We were a magazine ‘nobody ever bought,’ but everybody read,” says Ira Ritter, an ad exec for, and later the owner of, Playgirl. That readership included women and men. It’s no shocker that a magazine full of naked dudes attracted the secret patronage of gay men, especially in an era when it was risky to be out.
For women and gay men both, Playgirl’s true legacy is the way it normalized sexually objectifying men. Before People‘s panting, annual “Sexiest Man Alive” issue; before the Adonis-heavy photography of Bruce Weber; before Mark Wahlberg posed in Calvin Klein underwear; and before the boom in mainstream “porn for women,” Playgirl paved the way in showing off men’s bodies for the erotic delight of its readers.
This is a really interesting read. I didn’t know any of this stuff. READ IT NOW, I TELL YOU!

All the Crazy Shit I’ve Seen as a Bachelor-Party Stripper (Mel Magazine)
Recently, at the one strip club where I work in the Coachella Valley, the bachelor’s friends had some serious reservations about the upcoming wedding. The bachelor was in his late 20s and cute, well-dressed and polite. His eyes were glazy and wild. I spoke to Pete, the best man. “When’s the big day?” I asked. He told me the wedding was next week, and that they’d been drinking since 11 a.m. Then he added, “He doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him.”
“What?” I asked.
“He works his ass off. He deserves better,” Pete responded. Then he handed me 40 bucks. That wasn’t even two dances. I asked for 10 more. I took the bachelor, Sean, to the back and learned more about him. He slumped in his chair, barely there. I pressed my boobs in his face. He told me his fiancée was pregnant again. Second time. He hated her family. During the second dance, I asked him if he loved her. “I love my daughter,” he said.
Holy shit, that’s sad.

75 Lesbian Ken Dolls, Ranked By Lesbianism (Autostraddle)
While it’s true that the New Kens are definitely lesbians, it’s also true that the Old Kens were lesbians. So, today I set out to definitively account for at least a solid chunk of the various lesbian Ken (short for “Kendall”) dolls that have come out since the beginning of Barbie-Time.
I don’t know why I never realised that Ken is totally a lesbian.
