BLAST FROM THE PAST: PLAYGIRL MODEL BURL CHESTER (April 1980)

1. You certainly didn’t have to be well hung to be in Playgirl.

2. its my birthday ,,can i bury my face in Burl???? I love hairy men!!!grrrrr

3. Very nice….cute bum

4. He’s beautiful, quite gorgeous.

5. @maxxdude – spoken like a true size queen. now if he was to produce a nice fat 8 incher when totally erect what would you have to say then? you’d probably complain that even THAT would be too small!

6. @letmesuckudry – you know what they say, gay men are either size queens or liars. LOL

7. good looking, darn nice body..even his cock is nice, wonder what it is like hard ? Bet it’s bigger and yummy

8. Masculine body

9. He’s a handsome man from head to toe, yet you judge him based on how “hung” he is. I used to think young American gay men were cliquish and judgmental… but I see even an old Australian can be a bitch or assole.

10. The way I interpreted maxxdude’s comment was that as long as u have a toned, muscular body you could still make into Playgirl whether your cock was big or not.
    I wonder why some of you would think that he’s complaining…?

11. WOW. It is very nice of him . He will need to be safe.

12. A hot, handsome, muscular man is always a timeless classic. WOOF!
    It’s almost hard to remember porn without the internet, but back in the day, Playgirl was the only mainstream magazine on regular newsstands that had naked men for gay guys. It was acceptable because of the new Women’s Lib movement and still was about straight sex desires, not perverted gay ones. Back then even porn shops only had a small gay section and guys got beat up outside for buying ‘those’ magazines. Playgirl magazine was born here in SoCal as a spinoff of Doug Lambert’s Playgirl Club in Garden Grove,CA. That was a classy club that brought the top Vegas acts here and was run like the Playboy Clubs. He was inspired by Burt Reynold’s success in Cosmo’s 1972 layout to do the same for women that went to his Club. Hefner sued the club for infringement, lost the case, but won by driving the club into bankruptcy. Having lost the legal case, Hef never went after the magazine. The club was sold to ‘the’ Dick Dale (more at end). Playgirl still estimates 30% of its viewers are gay.
    Re: Maxxdudes comment, it is a bit ambiguous, but still sounds negative. When looking back its important to view history in it’s time frame. When Playgirl started in 1973, full frontal male nudity in a more mainstream magazine was still daring. The Jan ’80 edition of this post had the first full erection shot ever for women. The other thing Maxxdude needs to remember is he’s looking at women’s porn with gay men’s eyes. Women don’t obsess about cock size like men…it’s important, but down the list. A study by Mautz for the U. of Ottawa and pub. in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2013, had women liking men’s flaccid penises up to 3″, but then slowly declining in desirability as it grew longer. For us it would be just the opposite and the guys would be fluffing up for the pics. Also, the ‘small’ comment. If you want hard (lol) facts about cock size, go to the people that have to have the real truth to make money…condom manufacturers. Trojan, Durex,etc..agree on the following stats. Inch range/ %men: 5″/36.6%; 6″/45.9%; 7″/7.3%; 8″/1.7%; 9+/.5%. So, 82.5% of men are 5″-7″. A further international study by Men’s Health had 79% of the guys describing themselves as growers, not showers. So most guys land up the same size eventually…don’t worry, have fun instead getting it there.

    About Dick Dale, who had the Playgirl Club, music fans will recognize him as the Father of Surf Music. A Lebanese surfer, who grew up playing the tarabaki drum which is the beat behind surf rhythm. He worked with another local guy out of Anaheim,CA, Leo Fender to develop the equipment. They along with another local,Lansing of JBL Speakers, created the Single Showman amp. Plunging in his own custom Stratocaster, he not only be came the King of Surf Guitar, but was the first to blow pass 10 on the volume to also become one of the fathers of Heavy Metal. He performed the first ‘surf’ hit, “Let’s Go Tripping” at the Rendezvous Ballroom down at Balboa/Newport Beach,CA, in 1960. At 76, he still tours and rocks a high energy show.
