I also remember being struck at how this magazine suggested straight-seeming college students were out there somwehre who liked fucking men. With time, I would find some of those students, but I think when I bought this, I was still in the dark. It was one of the first, if not the first, explicitly gay porn magazines in my collection.
The publication also confirmed for me that, in moving to California, I had made the right decision. I applied to college in the Golden State without ever actually having been here. My very first visit was the day I arrived to start my freshman year. The magazine was like a brochure from the Southern California Hedonism Bureau, subliminially saying "look at what you can do out here." There was definitely truth in that advertising.

having been born and raised in California and having had a few encounters at the beach, this post was a real waltz down memory lane. Thank you. Your vintage collection is always a treat.

Nice.
ReplyDeleteI used to have the video of this - the guy in the glasses was a BIG fav of mine.
I might make that first picture my new screen saver. There's something timeless about it.
ReplyDeleteGuys really liked to wear their hair long and free back then--but enough about their pubes.

Oh bother. Once again, I'm going to have to identify the hotties and the movie this magazine is from, since you never do. It's "Pacific Coast Highway" directed by William Higgins and released in 1981. The curly blond is Scott Anderson. The tall dark brunette with the sun glasses, is Jack Burke (Anderson and Burke were an item). And the short brunette is Jeff Hunter. Until next time, and I know they'll be one. Tsk-tsk!
