Bear issues 1 and 2, 1987

John, the centerfold for the first issue

Eric, the centerfold for the second issue

Jim @jiminsf.bsky.social was gracious enough to loan me Bear issues 1 and 2 for scanning. I never expected to see physical copies - much less hold them in my hand! Thank you, Jim. This is gay history. #gay #bear #bearmagazine #bearded #hairy

Playgirl, April ‘79, featuring Bob Blount

You can also watch him bottom for Al Parker with a quick Google search. I’m told that many of the models in Playgirl were gay porn stars. Here’s the rest of his spread.

The cover of Playgirl’s December ‘82 issue with Christopher Reeve

The first 2 pages of John’s spread

A bit of info about him and a really beautiful shot of his upper body and ass

I wish he’d gone full frontal, but at 6’8” and 280 pounds, even if his cock was huge, it would probably look average

These are my own scans. Here’s the cover, plus the rest of John’s layout.

A 3-page foldout from Playgirl’s December 1982 issue. John is reclining nude on a bed, with his right leg raised just enough to hide his penis, but not his pubic hair. His left arm is behind his head and he’s looking into the camera.

In 1982 John Matuszak was playing football for the LA Raiders, and he posed for Playgirl. He’d had a few acting roles, but was still 2 years away from playing Chunk in The Goonies.

He was a proto-bear for sure. I never got into football, but I certainly admired a bunch of coaches and players! 🥵
