It is a well-established fact that a significant number, if not a majority, of Playgirl's readers and collectors are men, gay as well as, by open admission, straight, who were looking to compare and size themselves up versus the models, and in the hope of landing on PG's coveted Centerfold, too. One of the singular appeals of PG's Specials is that apart from reproducing images from its previous Issues, the Portfolio also showed previously unpublished nudes, 'bonuses' for the magazine's fully evolved, loyal audience, just before men began taking 'selfies' and the exhibitionists among them started posting them online. The models, who all appeared in the original issues of Playgirl Magazine during its very last full decade (2000-2006), represent, individually and collectively, some of the handsomest and sexiest men Playgirl Magazine ever discovered and photographed. 'Men of Summer', 'Men In College', and 'The Best Centerfolds' were the recurring themes of PG's Special Issues.

Page after page of male nudes, in the great outdoors, basking in the glorious sun. Presents Playgirl Magazine's 'Men of Summer' Special Portfolio Issue Number 55. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only that sold out upon publication. The very last such Special Issue, preceded on a sporadic basis by 'Men of Summer' Portfolios throughout Playgirl's history. A fine copy of Playgirl Magazine's 2006 'Men of Summer' Special Portfolio Issue.
