as someone who also grew up in the 70's as well, Penthouse and Oui were really important to helping me figure out I was gay,,,, Playboy never did anything for me, then I found Penthouse,,, at first I just thought the pictures with the naked women and men turned me on because it was more sexual then the airbrushed playboy centerfolds, then I realized that what was turning me on was the erect penis on the guys. but as they were considered 'straight'porn as I was growing up in small town midwest, they were a great safe closeted way to get 'gay' porn

I am so very glad you started this blog... Your entries are absolutely brilliant and for solo puff sessions they are the erotica i crave. Thank you so much and keep sharing your adventures

Late to the party but I love your posts and now intend to work through your blogs, which I know I’ll enjoy. Gets me in the mood for future visits to NYC… 

I used to  find my Dad's Penthouse mags and take them to the bathroom, Would read the forums and get super hard. 

There were no pics of men usually. You had to get Club Magazine or Hustler for that. I remember going to the stationary and seeing two gay mags on the top shelf. One was BlueBoy and the other Torso. I would stuff them into a New York Times newspaper and just pay for the paper as I was too shy to buy them.

For a brief time in the late 70s, Penthouse did have men in some spreads - their cocks, if shown were always flaccid - men also appeared on occasion in the spin-off publication "Penthouse Letters" which took the Letters section of the main magazine, along with the forums and the "Ask Xaviera" advice column and just fill the edition with those items and a few pics - loved those, because they always had a "men with men" and a bisexual sub-area - those real life accounts really got me going in my pre-teen and early teen days @RawNYTop! Hustler, Oui and Club Mag did have more men in their spreads as you point out - at my local stationary store they had "Blueboy" and "Playguy" both of which I found boring, even at 12 and 13, along with "Torso", "Honcho" and "Drummer"... I started getting "Honcho" and "Drummer" there regularly when I was 14 or 15, the teenager at the counter after 9pm always let me buy them...

Honcho was the name I was trying to remember. I think Torso was an exercise mag.

I used to walk to the library and go to the periodical room to read the Village Voice. There they would have these small thumbnail print ads for the Gay movie houses: The Adonis, West World, Blow Buddies, Some place on Jayne St,  etc.  When I was 18, I drove to the Adonis and that started my journey to debauchery.

@RawNYTop I started at Fordham University when I was 17, so that was when I first hit The Adonis and West World and the other Times Square ABS stores, as well as the ones on Christopher Street in the West Village. LOVED all those places - there was also the David in the W50s, the Unicorn ABS with booths on W80th and so many others... much slutty fun!

"Torso" actually WAS a gay skin mag - a bit less vanilla than Playguy or Blueboy, but no way near as fun as Honcho or Drummer... my hubby was a big fan of Torso and Advocate Men - both kind of annoyed me, because there they were, supposedly porn for gay guys but they only showed soft cocks and only the gluteus maximus, never the hole or even a hint of it... didn't they think there were any Tops out there?

Bob Paris and his partner/husband were seriously hot - always wish I had met them. I had their exercise Coffee Table book - remarkably useless as a training guide for working out, but pretty good jack-off material @RawNYTop

I had to make do with the men’s underwear section in my mum’s Littlewood’s Catalogue (UK guys of a certain age will get the reference). Most of my school friends were equally focussed at the bras section. We had to find wanking fodder where we could…

Or International Male Catalog.

Those Onion Skins short did me in

Sounds similar to the Sears catalog.
