It's not body fascism. Playgirl is known for the types of guys the present and they are not 'soft' guys. Blame them. And blame guys who feel they need to get buff to pose. NO ONE told Levi he needed to gym it up for this photo 'essay'. Or maybe they did. Either way he accepted it. He could have posed for ANY website or zine but he didn't. He chose a site whose magazine id no longer even printed. Obviously you can tell from all the posts here, let alone on the rest of the net that people are curious what the result will be.
Sorry to tell you but there's only a select population in the gay community and likewise in the straight community that have interest or would pay to see out of shape guys or gals for that matter. That's not to say everyone has to be a muscle guy but we can see average guys anyday on the street and in bed, which is all good b/c we love them too...and face it if he wasn't Palin's ex-son-in-law he'd be relegated to some stupid Sean Cody video and only a few people would care.
