Default Magazines

Hey,
So I'm a huge fan of Men's Health magazine. So awesome, so inspiring, and full of good lookin' guys. It has so many great articles on health and fitness and sex and just life as a guy; I love it...........except!.....it's for straight guys. So all that awesome sex and relationship advice is kinda useless for me .

So, my question: Is there a gay version of Men's Health? There should be! And if not, what other magazines would you recommend?? Which ones do you read? Etc.?

I love nylon
But that's kind of more of a fashion magazine
And I'd imagine one would have to be quite a queen to enjoy that
Hmm
There should be a gay cozmo mag

Men's Health is for STRAIGHT MEN?!?!?! *gasp* *jaw on floor*

Wow, they sure got there marketing wrong.

"Lets have a picture of Milo Ventimiglia on the cover, shirtless, doing a sexy face!"

I mean honestly, the thing is just sex and men. Who can appreciate sex and men more than the gays? srsly!

The only gay magazine that I'm aware of is Out and The Advocate. LOL

I don't really read Men's health cause it's too hard for me to look at alll the guys there and make me want to kill myself for not looking like them lol.

I am into fashion and I read magazines like GQ, Details and Esquire mainly for that. I figured the articles in them are too dry and not really interesting for me but I love the fashion part of it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....okay Greg, you make a valid point.
Actually now that you mention it...the ads with David Beckham in his underwear are probably most appreciated by the gay readers...I guess....LOL....

I'm just saying for all the sex and relationship stuff, it's all for straight guys.

Hm, I'm not sure about that. Some gay magazines offer health and beauty tips. Sometimes I get back issues of DNA magazine from eBay. It doesn't really contain any workout help, but the articles cover a variety of topics, including relationships and health care. The pictures don't hurt either, heh. And it's geared to gay men. However, the advertising is somewhat geared to Australia, although a lot of the magazine can apply to guys in both the US and UK.

If I just want workout help, I go to www.realjock.com
