Real Men:

'All he needs is a great smile and a hard body.  All you need is a camera!'

Working on the piece featuring Suntown's work above had me on the hunk for some of shots of those 'real men' who appeared in Playgirl over the years.  I always suspected some of those real men weren't so real, as more than a few seemed to end up in spreads in future issues.  I think some were 'test' models the magazine tried out on readers to get their feedback before deciding on a full spread.

Many however were real guys who's pictures were sent in.  The magazine tried to promote the page as a place for wives and girlfriends to send in shots of their husbands and boyfriends and never acknowledged that many of the 'real men; in the images were actually readers of the magazine.

This selection of 'real men' come from issues of Playgirl from the  1990's and 2000's, but if FH readers want to see more, I found many more from the magazine's earlier issues.
