Syzygy Magazine Provides Classy Male/Male Erotica for Women

PORTLAND, OR – Those who truly know women know that many of them love
seeing or reading about handsome men enjoying one another’s bodies.
After all, it’s a double scoop of what most women love most. That’s why
the newly released first issue of Syzygy magazine (pronounced
ˈsɪz.ɨdʒ.i) was created.

The brainchild of publisher/photographer Susan Beaver and editor Brad
Hanon, Syzygy illustrates erotic fiction with original, evocative
softcore photographs of gorgeous young men, producing a visual and
literary combination specifically crafted for women – by women.

Specific inspirations for Syzygy include slash fiction, male/male
romance novels, and yaoi manga, with its uniquely female gaze.

“I spent years studying the porn women create for each other before I
began to truly understand the difference and the similarities between it
and ‘mainstream’ porn,” Hanon explains. “Call it erotica. Call it porn.
As long as the story’s good, the characters are interesting, and the sex
is hot… I’ve done my job.”

Drawing female writers from throughout the United States and male models
exclusively from Portland, OR, the magazine, whose very name means a
unique form of unity, is based in the famed City of Roses, a bastion of
Pacific Northwest pansexuality.

The first issue, currently available, is expected to appeal primarily to
female readers, but will also likely be of interest to gay and bisexual
men and has already earned fans on three continents.

“I want this magazine to be something that adult women can buy for their
own enjoyment,” Beaver confesses, “without shame or even that weird
feeling that they’re not the intended audience.”

A second issue is currently under production, with a biannual
publication schedule anticipated.
