Out is an American LGBTQ news, fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle magazine, with the highest circulation of any LGBTQ monthly publication in the United States. It presents itself in an editorial manner similar to Details, Esquire, and GQ.

Wenn die Stadt, die niemals schläft, sich eine grosse Dosis Melatonin eingeworfen hat und tatsächlich vor gähnender Menschenleere strotzt, wenn Menschen wochenlang angehalten werden, zwei Meter Abstand zu wahren, sich nicht zu berühren und ihr Lachen mit Masken zu verdecken, wenn du als Europäer in einem Land bist, in dem alle glauben, dass du dank Langstreckenflügen Corona hierhergebracht hast, wenn du so lange keinen Sex mehr hattest, dass du ihn nicht mehr vermisst, wenn du monatelang unrasiert und in Trainingshosen verbringst, weil du auf der Strasse so oder so niemanden antriffst – dann ist es denkbar schwer, Liebe zu finden. Oder doch nicht?

This edition was made in São Paulo, Brazil. Here we met a random smattering of local guys from one of the world's biggest and queerest cities, with a diverse population and a vibrant gay scene. We introduce this city to you via its men, who you can get to know through a selection of intimate photography and personal storytelling.

There's really something special about Latin America, a certain openness and boldness that is unparalleled in the world. When we made our first visit to this region for our fifteenth issue in Bogotá, Colombia, it became our most naked issue ever. Then when we released our twenty-fourth issue, made in Guadalajara, Mexico, that issue took the nudity crown. And now, this issue in São Paulo has followed suit to become another very exposed edition. We always say that nudity is never essential for Elska, but it's always nice to see, and here in Brazil we see a lot, even a guy who whips it out in a public park! Oh the scandal!

Another common feature of our Latin American issues comes in the stories, which tend towards the romantic or dramatic, including a good amount of focus on love, longing, and sex. Each of the men were invited to write a story about anything at all form their lives, as long as it's something true, and it just happened that these were the subjects they gravitated towards, but not only… Some of the story highlights here include Murillo J's description of a Paulista nightclub, full of creativity and free-spiritedness, and how they tried to adapt it for the COVID era; Rodrigo K's ode to anime, especially its homoeroticism and how it helped him become who he is today; Bruno V's tale of his transition, including devastating setbacks in surgery as well as hope for the future; and Mike F's chronology on how he discovered his dream to become a dancer and how he made it happen.

Includes stories in English, Portuguese, and Spanish (all followed by English translations where applicable)

Features images of / stories from: Ciriaco V, Jaime S, Murillo J, Leo F, Rodrigo K, Bruno A, Mike F, Ale D, Alexie A, and Bruno V

We also recommend ordering the companion e-zine ‘Elska Ekstra São Paulo’, available separately or as part of the ‘Bundle’, to get loads more content. This includes behind the scenes tales, outtakes, extra stories, and five extra Brazilian boys: Rosa S, Kevem M, Henrique X, Yohan, and João F; plus three more guys from our ‘Elska Dehors’ feature

About

Welcome to Elska, a project about sharing the bodies and voices of guys we meet all over the world. Referred to by The Advocate as ‘probably the nicest, most sincere magazine to have ever been created’ and also described as ‘part intellectual queer pin-up mag and part sexy anthropology journal’, you won’t find celebrity gossip, models, or lifestyle tips here. Instead come travel along with us get to know a diverse cross-section of queer boys everywhere through intimate photography and personal storytelling

This edition was made in Dublin, Ireland. Here we met a smattering of local guys from one of Europe's most historic cities and also one of its most up-and-coming, with a population that is becoming more and more diverse and an LGBTQ community that is becoming more and more vibrant. We introduce this city to you via its men, who you can get to know through a selection of intimate photography and personal storytelling.

Shot during a unique summertime lull within the COVID-19 pandemic, when Ireland was growing cautiously optimistic, this is one of our most cheerful issues. The outdoor images reveal a lot more sunshine than the Irish climate typically allows, and a real sense of warmth extends to the indoor images, which reveal much more intimacy, including nudity, than we expected to come from this nation. The stories as well are rather light, including topics such as meeting men on beer-fueled nights out, getting excited over Adele concerts, hooking up with ‘straight’ boys in cars, and even finding something positive to come out of the pandemic.

Here at Elska we love to visit places that fill our minds with preconceptions and then attempt to break the stereotypes - in this way our Dublin issue may be one of the most surprising, full of sun, sex, freedom and hope from a country that we thought would be much more conservative and well, a bit damp. It's a great issue to mark what may hopefully be the end of the COVID-19 era, and something to get us dreaming about a future holiday to Ireland someday soon.

Includes stories in English, Irish, Polish, and Portuguese (all followed by English translations where applicable)

DNA Magazine | #254 – Balance: Body + Mind

This month, it’s all about balance – body and mind.

We asked six regular gay men how they feel about their bodies; are they healthy, do they feel sexy, do they work on their physical and mental wellness and if the two are connected.

Their answers are surprising and inspiring, and prompted the DNA team to ask ourselves the same questions. How do you feel about your body? Check out our feature story this month, Do You Have A Healthy Body? and think about how you’d answer those questions, too.

On the same theme, regular DNA contributor, Simon Dunn – athlete, personal trainer, DNA cover model twice, and LGBTQIA+ activist – unpacks the trend towards “fit shaming” in his story, How Dare He Have A Good Body.

Coincidentally, two of the men featured in this issue are cocktail bartenders: our cover model Wilson Lai and featured model, Ivan Martin. They both have impressive bodies and drinking cocktails has nothing to do with it. In fact, Ivan has been off alcohol for the last 10 years. Both are dedicated to their gym training and both have interesting opinions on health and sex.

Is boxing the next big gay sport? In Sting Like A Bee we meet the man putting together The World Gay Boxing Championships, and discover his path to boxing and the mental and physical benefits he gets from the sport.

And, in a tribute to one of the world’s best physiques of the modern era, Rob Labbe recalls his friendship with model Greg Plitt.

There are more hot bodies in our photo spreads Wet Dreams and Johnie In The Gym.

Our Straight Mate is Richie Morris, the hot new cop on Neighbours, we meet some gay dads who have said yes to surrogacy, and we review the latest gay stuff on TV, in music, books and theatre

Plus, there are over 30 Digital Extra Pages of hot men!

This year, HUNGER turns 10 and we’re ready to celebrate in style. For Spring/Summer 2021, we’re excited to announce the theme of HUNGER’s 20th issue: community. Documenting the power of people coming together – whether that’s in the name of a common cause, mutual aid and support, or a shared culture – the issue takes us from local communities in Liverpool to the stars advocating for the rights of global communities on the international stage. 

To coincide with the issue pre-order date, we’re also announcing our first cover star: Pose actress MJ Rodriguez, who discusses the importance of trans representation, how ballroom culture shaped her and the biggest “full-circle moment” of her career to date.

Our second cover star, Jodie Turner-Smith, opens about her new role playing Henry VIII’s most famous wife, Anne Boleyn, the impact of Queen & Slim on her career and her first year of motherhood. 

Actress Jodie Comer appears in conversation with long-time friend and co-star Stephen Graham to discuss their freshly wrapped project Help, imposter syndrome and making the leap from the small screen to the Hollywood silver screen.

Kingsley Ben-Adir discusses his BAFTA-nominated role in history-making film One Night In Miami, working with Regina King, and his upcoming turn in the Marvel universe.
Designer Zandra Rhodes talks with close friend Hilary Alexander about her decades-spanning career in fashion and her unique creative process.

Pride will once again be a very different experience for most people this year. Some physical events are returning in a big way. Some have postponed for a second year. And others are continuing to build on the success of digital celebrations where they can reach more people within our community. Whichever way we each mark Pride this year, one thing remains the same: our spirit of coming together, being proud of who we are, and uplifting those who need it most.

Having our lives disrupted by COVID-19 gave many of us some time to reflect and recognise what matters most to us and the communities we are a part of. It’s an experience many of the LGBTQ+ people in this new Summer Issue of GAY TIMES Magazine touch upon.

“I’m a human being, we are not infinite,” says Anitta in her GAY TIMES Magazine cover story. “Our lives have a time when it’s going to be over. So if we deal with situations by always counting something or running for something that’s actually infinity, we’re never going to be happy. We’ll just always feel this pressure that we need to get more, have more, and we’re never going to feel like we’ve reached our goals.” The Brazilian superstar has reconciled that achievements are what we make them. It’s not about the biggest or the best, but rather what makes us happy and gives us a true sense of who we are at our core.

Fellow cover star Dove Cameron has also spent the last year discovering who she is and taking the time to embrace it. “The community is filled with people who have done so much work to accept and love themselves,” she says. “I find the work you have to do on yourself begets your ability to support others.” This self-reflection has allowed her be more open about being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, in turn inspiring other queer youth who follow her.

Drag Race UK star A’Whora was given the opportunity of a lifetime when she was cast on the second season of the hit BBC Three show, but when the pandemic hit she and her fellow contestants were left wondering what was next for them. They managed to record the remainder of the season, but they didn’t get to immediately experience the usual post-show opportunities that this level of exposure traditionally offers. “It’s been surreal because when it was all happening we were constantly still at home,” A’Whora tells us. “We were just in lockdown so it was very anti-climatic. It was like, ‘F**k we just did the finale, and now what?’ The world wasn’t happening. But the second Boris [Johnson] on his f**king bike decided to lift those regulations... Girl! It’s been booked and blessed mama. I’ve been living my best life.”

We are entering a time of new beginnings, a renewed outlook and a fresh focus on what really matters. This Pride season, take the time to celebrate safely with loved ones. Support and uplift each other. But also remember that while the LGBTQ+ community is built up of many different lived experiences, we are strongest when we come together and fight for everyone’s right to be who they are, and love who they want to love.

BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! magazine
Collectors Edition Vol 2 – PRIDE issue

The world's first fine art photography magazine dedicated to queer and gay photography - ad free

Volume 2 features ten photographers from nine countries: AdeY (UK), David Charles Collins (Australia), Matthew Finley (USA), Ashish Gupta (India), Manuel Moncayo (Mexico), Juan Antonio Papagni Meca (Argentina), Sebastian Perinotti (Argentina), Mauricio A. Rodriguez (Venezuela), Xavier Samré (France), Inon Sani (Peru) + illustrator Matthew Hetznecker (USA)

by Stuart Sandford

Soft Cover｜108 Pages｜29.7×21 cm

The artist has been shooting 35mm film (using his trusty Yashica T-5) since 2004 in his art school days back in his hometown of Sheffield, UK. Collected in this volume are works dating from that time up to the present, a number of them previously unpublished. Sandford has lived, worked, and travelled extensively across Europe, America, South Africa, and Russia, taking photographs of friends, lovers, and places and spaces along the way. Using a snapshot aesthetic, and in a style he calls "diaristic portraiture", Sandford creates scenarios and invites intimate relations with his subject, devising timeless vignettes of adoration, pleasure, and love (whether real or imagined) within the images and the connected narratives of the lives of those he photographs. Also incorporated in this volume are works from his Outside series (2007-TBA), again shot using 35mm and many unpublished, documenting urban, rural and sometimes lost public cruising spaces where men have sex with men.

About the artist :

Stuart Sandford was born in Sheffield, England but has lived and worked in the USA for the last 10 years, 5 of those in Los Angeles. He has exhibited his work widely in galleries and museums internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and Centre de la Photographie, Genève. His work has been featured in numerous publications and it appears in many private collections around the world including the Sir Elton John Photography Collection.

DNA Magazine | #253 – Vision

Vision… we all see the world in our own unique way. So it’s great to see things through another’s eyes occasionally. It gives us perspective, empathy and hopefully insight.

We always bring you visions of beautiful men, and this month is no exception. We meet a photographer who has built his career around shooting penises, a fashion photo duo from San Francisco reimagining masculinity and glamour, a gay Lebanese filmmaker, and we take you inside the extraordinary world of Dave Marshall – a gay wrestler, adult star, gamer and mental health advocate. Yes, there’s plenty to get your head around this month!

The vision on our cover this month is Russian model and personal trainer Konstantin Kostin shot by Amer Mohamad. See more of him inside, and check out his nude shoot in the Subscriber Zone of the DNA website.

In our feature, Birds Do It, Bees Do It we discover the extent of homosexual behaviour in the animal kingdom and find that biologists are beginning to think that there are evolutionary advantages in the gay genes.

Plus, our Straight Mate is hunky Black Sails star Luke Arnold, we chat with pop duo Corvyx and Joey Dean, catch up with Alae’s hot gay frontman Alex Farrell-Davey, review the latest from Sia, The Friends Musical Parody and the current streaming hits.

ISSUE02 focuses on IDENTITY.  We want to examine how we are brought up and what we seek out when we create our own identity.  What is imposed on us and what comes from within? What do we feel, what don’t we feel? Do we have our own singular identity or do we identify as part of a collective? What happens when we lose our identity? What happens when we recreate it? What defines us? Is there even a need to define our identity?            

Our identity can be formed by many different factors: place, environment, people, friends, religion, networks, interests, economics, sexuality, race. What do we grow in opposition to? Consider not only the identity of yourself and other people but of countries, companies, political parties, collectives. This is a spattering of questions we are asking that in no way even begin to scratch the surface of this topic. 

From Mennonites in Mexico to musicians in Johannesburg, the collectivity of microorganisms to the Hong Kong protests, suburban Japan to metropolitan Armenia, elfsluts to skaters, the Tower of Babel to the City Palace of Jaipur - you’ll find it all in SOFT EIS ISSUE02 IDENTITY. SOFT EIS isn’t your normal magazine where content sits on blank pages, we push designers to use every inch of space to create something wacky, weird, and wonderful. We challenge the status quo of publication, choosing projects that are deeply personal, highly unusual, and always experimental.

About Elska 26 (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania):

Elska Pittsburgh is our twenty-sixth issue and also our third edition made in the USA, following our series in Providence (Rhode Island) and Los Angeles (California). If this isn't a city you know much about, then you should. The queer scene of ‘Steel City’ is one of the most diverse and up-and-coming in the country. The city as well has been flourishing of late, filling disused warehouses and broken factories with artists’ studios, independent bars and restaurants, and revitalisation projects that so far have been keen to maintain the town's true character. On the surface you might be reminded of a Shoreditch or a Brooklyn, but minus the hipster pretensions or snobbishness. Pittsburgh is truly welcoming, and it's truly a revelation.

The men we met in Pittsburgh were enthusiastic about their city and they were also especially keen to share their bodies and voices with us, totally open and unfettered by shyness. This means a larger than usual amount of stories dealing with sex, such as a loving tribute to polyamory, an explicit ode to a weekend-long orgy amongst friends, and even a piece about watching porn in a public café with old ladies cheekily leering along!

Whether you've been to Pittsburgh, are planning to go, or even if you have no interest whatsoever in touring the Rust Belt, this issue belongs in your collection. It's truly an exemplar Elska issue that does what we do best - sparking curiosity, opening minds, and titillating just a little bit. Or in this case, a little bit more. Ooh, aah!*

Features images of / stories from: Jerome “Chu” C, Ricky M, Jayvon T, Christian C, Tom C, Brett S, Will T Jr, Elí A, Kevin K, Indigo C, and Jan-Tosh G; plus our Q&A feature with Eric H.

We also recommend ordering Elska Ekstra Pittsburgh, available separately or in the bundle, to also meet: Varun S, Kevin T, Brian O, and Edwin N.

*Apologies for the probably over-the-heads Gina G reference.

Details and Specs:

Elska Pittsburgh is 192 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

About Elska 04 (Lisbon, Portugal):

This edition was made in Lisbon, Portugal. Truly one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, it makes a great contrast following the colder, more northern settings of the previous three issues: Reykjavík, Berlin, and Lviv. The warmer colour palettes, the sea, the hills, the crumbling old buildings and cobbled streets all bring a fresh look for the Elska collection. Of course the men are beautiful too, and inside you'll meet a cross-section of a dozen local boys of various backgrounds, styles and ages who we happened to meet on our trip here. Each is shot in the city or in their homes; in their own clothes or no clothes at all; without contrived styling, airbrushing and over photoshopping. It's part of the Elska goal to be authentic and honest. The stories too are honest, as each boy's photospread is accompanied by a personal story, making the experience all the more intimate and aiming to make you feel like you're right there visiting Lisbon with them. 

Originally released in 2016, this edition has been completely remade for this new 2021 edition. This means lots of previously unpublished images from the vaults, a couple extra boys who weren't in the original edition, a new story by Julien P, and all in our bigger and more beautiful modern format.

Includes stories in English, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese (all followed by English translations where applicable)

Features images of / stories from: Daniel T, Matheus G, Paulo L, Ricardo V, André G, Daniel R, Jorge B, Miguel G, Pedro C, Julien P, Luis L, Ruben S

We also recommend ordering the companion zine ‘Elska Ekstra Lisbon’, available separately or as part of the “bundle” to get 308 pages of behind the scenes tales, loads of outtakes, extra stories, and nine extra boys like: Adrian L, Chris C, Luis R, Miguel LC, Miguel A, Ivaylo L, Quentin V, Dario P, Vasco Q, plus two stories by Romain Butti

Details and Specs:

‘Elska Lisbon’ is 180 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.
