Buying My First Playgirl Magazine


tbill

Recommended Posts

I used to go to book stores to read Playgirl. I would always grab a neutral magazine first and then stick the Playgirl in the middle of the other one so no one could tell what I was really looking at. Then I would go off to a corner or sit down, look at the pics and drool! It wasn't until 2003 that I finally got the courage to buy their 30th anniversary issue because they had all the men of the year pictures and a buddy used to have the 1980 issue with Bill Davidson as man of the year and I had to see him again!  I was shaking as I went up to the register. Got the magazine. No questions asked. Whew!  I also first saw Kory Wolf in that issue and he was a stud!!!!

Oh yeah!  I had completely forgotten about the Playgirl-inside-the-other-magazine trick.   That does bring back memories.  Just had to be careful, though, otherwise people would wonder why the need to turn Newsweek sideways in order to read it. B|

OMG I thought I was the only one who did the magazine trick!

My first Playgirl was the July 2001 issue. I saw an unwrapped copy at a local bookstore and hid it in another magazine. I'll never forget how gorgeous Pete Meluso was in his spread! I then started doing this on a weekly basis. I lost so much cum jacking off to them in the bathroom! This website has been amazing in reliving these memories of so many gorgeous men. I always love to see photos of them today and see how they aged!

I put a  bit of time and thought in this purchase before I brazenly walked up to the magazine rack and grabbed Cosmo, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Vogue and Playgirl, some gift wrap, ribbon and a get- well card and headed confidently toward the check out counter. I paid for the goods and headed out the door; and drove home in a frenzy to get a look at the goods between the front and back cover of PG.

This was a milestone for me in many ways because I subscribed from that point forward and had it discretely delivered to my door but more importantly someone told me something when I recounted to them about the extensive lengths and expense I went to buy one skin mag--- and he said " You should never give a shit about what anyone else thinks of you unless they are paying your bills"! that has stuck with me since. 

 

PS Greg and Neil Rogers were two of the prizes inside!

I knew I wasn't the only one hiding Playgirl inside other mags because I'd carefully inspect the front and second rows of the rack at waist level because 2 out of 5 times I knew I could find a rather thick looking non-skin mag with a Playgirl tucked inside.  If there was nothing, I'd check to see if one was already out of the plastic (when they started putting them in plastic).

Dude, I had it down to a science!

It's just the first time that was awkward....sort of like sex.  Hmmm.  Go figure! B|

Loved your story, Kawika!

There were a few occasions where the crowd at the magazine stand wouldn't clear, and so I'd buy both Playgirl and Penthouse together and just let people assume I was buying for myself and a girlfriend.  Why Penthouse instead of Playboy?  Because Penthouse usually included a couples pictorial, and the guys would be pretty f'ing hot.  So the extra cost wasn't necessarily wasted.  

But your friend really hit it home.  I came to the same conclusion for myself a little later on in life.

He actually said "As long as what you are doing is legal... you should not give a shit about what people think about you unless they are paying your bills." (I don't know why I felt the need to clarify... but there you have it!

Quite a long time ago, and rather off topic since not Playgirl but the other posts remind me . Back then I'm then not long out of college in a new part of the country, I discover a small news store selling gay mags (very few did) and I see Men Magazine on the top shelf which I decide I want to buy...  I hang around for ages and ages so I'm the only one in the shop - people keep on coming in to browse. Eventually I pick up a copy and get to the counter, the only one in the shop.  I silently stand there with the money in my hand. The guy there just says, don't get into a flap, we're all gay in this shop, we all like gay porn, and did you know there are some great guys in Freshmen as well this month? - a magazine I didn't know about.  In the end I leave with both magazines.....and that cured me of getting embarrassed....

That was really cool of the cashier.  Thanks for sharing your story!

Wow!!! What an awesome cashier. And you were in the right place at the right time. 

The world would be a much better place if more people were like him, dude.

We do need more of these guys around! The times I've bought any kind of gay porn I don't get questioned but I always felt the tension from one guy in a store I would buy from. But then I think "if the store stocks this kind of stuff than why shouldn't I buy it?"

Absolutely agree with you, Davie!  If the guy in the store has a problem with people buying gay porn off the shelf, that's his problem...not yours.  Good point!

Well, we both won...they got a new good customer (not just the skin mags) and I was much more relaxed ....  Sadly they sold up a long time ago. The cashier was a nice guy, yes.  Actually (off-topic again) a bit later on (and, OK,  just a few purchases of Men or Freshmen  later..) he lent me two DVDs which he or his mates owned- a Falcon movie and a Cadinot movie (the newsstore didn't sell any hardcore stuff - wasn't allowed).  I'd never seen a hardcore gay movie so these turned out to be a enjoyable and very satisfying... .....part of my education.  He said they were hot films - I remember what they were - Out of Athens and Doble En Jeu (no knowledge of French needed..).  And he was dead right - both classics I'd say and highly recommended!

Great topic! I remember all the emotions that lead up to purchasing my first Playgirl: The urge, the curiosity and the nervousness. I went to small privately owned drug store that sold Playgirl along with Playboy and Penthouse. And like others commenting on their first Playgirl purchase I bought Playgirl along with a Playboy! I was fortunate that the cashier was elderly lady who just looked the price of the magazine and nothing more. I continued to sporadically purchase Playgirl magazine along with the Playboy but as time went on I became less and less nervous and began just to buy the Playgirl by itself. Occasionally being confident enough to buy the monthly Playgirl with a Playgirl newsstand special (wish I still had those)! Some of the first Playgirl magazines are shown below.

 I Am glad AdonisMale exists so we all see the sexy guys (and women from the Couples spread) again!

Out of Athens, one of the first porn films I've seen ... still makes me hard thinking about the movie

Definitely getting off topic - I reckon Out of Athens is a absolute classic - gorgeous guys and great sex all round - bought both parts some time ago because I wanted to see part 1 again and I'd never seen part 2. This is definitely making me hard. So ....I'm going to log off now and we're going to watch it!

Hey Mac,

Getting off topic is totally acceptable.  Don't sweat it.  I've gotta check these films out now.

Gojira,

Thanks for your contribution!  It's really eye opening to hear everyone's story and how we all experienced the same awkwardness when buying our first gay magazine.  I think its safe to say we all shared the same curiosity.  Equally amusing is how we all came up with similar strategies because we were all afraid of what others might think.  It's really silly in hindsight!

When it occurred to me to start the topic, I had no idea it would take off as it has!  

Please, anyone else who has a story to contribute, we want to hear it.....don't be shy.....no judgements whatsoever!  You're amongst friends here!

Joel,

You haven't shared your story yet, dude!  What was your first gay magazine?  We need to hear the story from our fearless leader!

Too true.  Part of the reason why I created AdonisMale was to provide a "safe haven" for people awakening their inner sexuality and discovering that gawking at sizzilng-hot guys can be an enjoyable experience!

Well said, Joel!

But what's your story, dude?  What was the first gay magazine you ever bought?  And who was the centerfold?  I'm dying of curiosity, dude!  :)

Don't be shy....you're amongst friends after all.  LOL :P

I was born of a different time so magazines weren't the primary way for me to obtain my porn fix.  I grew up with torrenting and porn downloads, so all of my initial porn escapades were Internet-based ...

LOL...Fair enough, Joel!  You got me there, dude!  A point easily forgotten by those of us who hit puberty prior to the mid-90's.  

Love ya
