Forever Butt - Taschen

Putting the sex back into homosexuality: The best of BUTT magazine, 2001-now Pocket-sized, pink and super gay, the first issue of BUTT magazine arrived in the spring of 2001, sweeping aside the cliches of the mainstream homo press. Ever since, BUTT has maintained its independence, resisting clean-cut commercialism in favor of frank Q&As, revealing photography and a delightfully direct take on sex between men. Just by being its horny, happy self, BUTT has attracted contributions from the world's best writers and photographers. Meanwhile, frequent BUTT parties and the CLUB BUTT social network have mobilized an international army of loyal friends and fans in sexy solidarity. This meaty anthology, FOREVER BUTT, revisits some of the magazine's finest and most thrilling moments from more than a decade in print. A lot of the material from now rare and collectible editions of BUTT is made available again here. FOREVER BUTT revisits conversations with spectacular men, from Gore Vidal to Francois Sagat, and from Marc Jacobs to Your Big Dick Host.
