"Playgirl, launched in 1973 by Douglas Lambert, faced initial backlash for lacking nude male images, prompting a quick pivot towards exposing male bodies to cater to female desires."
"Despite no nude portraits in its first issue, Playgirl sold over 600,000 copies, indicating a strong market interest that was initially underestimated by its founder."
"The readers passionately voiced their desires for more exposure, leading Lambert to shift his vision and include fully naked male models in subsequent issues."
"The introduction of nude male modeling revolutionized how women's sexual empowerment and heteronormative fantasies were represented, showcasing a cultural shift in media consumption."
