Online Only For Playgirl's Naked Hunks

The magazine, a favourite of gay men everywhere, will cease printing physical editions of the magazine after its January/February 2009 issue, but will continue its presence online.

The soft-core porn rag started out in 1973 as the women's answer to a proliferation of men's-only magazines at the time.

While the official line is that it's a magazine for women, the truth is probably nearly as many gay men have flicked through the pages of erect cocks.

The likes of Brad Pitt, Keith Urban and Marcus Patrick, pictured, have appeared in various states of undress in issues over the years.
