I've mentioned before, I dunno if you saw it, but the reason G Magazine was able to flourish in Brazil is because Playboy was huge down there. Women got paid top dollar to appear on the magazine. Playboy really had some big famous celebrities as it's been explained to me by a friend. In a way magazines featuring nudity down there was also not something considered pornographic, so in a way it was complimentary to their egos as it was seen as artistic and luxurious. So men willing to do the same type of pictures found in G Magazine the only venue to explore similar chances. Now I never heard about any G model/celebrity getting paid a million dollars to grace its cover as it's happened for some Playboy stars, but I've read about checks with a number + many zeros on the right. It was way smaller than Playboy and I don't really think they got the really famous actors and personalities to appear in it, but damn... if only Playgirl had been able to do the same in the USA. I'd have enjoyed seeing some lesser known boy band dudes in the flesh, or some reality show hotties in highly produced pictorials.
Oh, this photo essay is unforgettable! But many of the very good stuff was left out of your post. I hope you get to find pics of him sitting on the boulder with a hardon. It's so exciting!
It seems that the magazine wasn't able to pick good pics of him erect but I dunno if it was due to not having a lot of options or if they were bad at editing the material. Some guys had a hard time staying hard for the shoots. In terms of ass shots, nothing to complain.
