A&F Quarterly Nudity Count: More Men Stripped Down Than Women

If you're like us and haven't yet gotten your copy of the new A&F Quarterly, the folks at The Shophound have a handy statistical analysis of what you'll find inside. Here is a recap of the nudity, broken down by the numbers:

• BARE BEHINDS: Male -- 15, Female -- 6
• BARE CHESTS: Female -- 9, Male -- pretty much all of them
• NEARLY FULL FRONTAL NUDITY: Male -- 16, Female -- 8

The Shophound also notes that there are several sequences of guys wrestling, a threesome (female/male/female) spread and two pages of ladies making out.

But to sum it up:

It's hardly hard-core porn, but at $10 a copy it's certainly priced like it, and while there is no actual full frontal nudity, there is plenty that without a strategically placed hand, leg or even a big black dot, would easily qualify.

I love the A&F catologue - Bruce Weber's photography is hot.

This is a travesty! Men should demand there be equanimity in showin' da skin.

naked men ? guys wrestling ? that's definitely targeted at the huge bi/gay male population

More men stripped down? As it should be.

This really isn't news.

For years Abercrombie has been producing "catalogs" that require you to be 18 to purchase.

Gianni Versace wasn't showing much of his clothes either in print.

25 years ago.

Of interest here is the fact that being naked is the way were born and ever since "Adam and Eve" the idea of not seeing all has been erotic. It's somewhat like Xmas. The packages are wrapped and we shake them then unwrap them.

Not surprising. Two of my gay male friends consider the A&F quarterly soft_porn.

It's generally assumed you're not in a straight house if that's on the coffee table. :)

This isn't a surprise. Every time I go to the A&F at the Houston Galleria, it's filled with my friends, I.E., rich good looking gay guys between the ages of 18 and 30.
