a pretty boy, in his underwear


This magazine came out in the mid 00s, an enthusiastically dirty indie porn mag for girls that read like a zine and was full of cute guys sporting little more than tatts and boners. The print equivalent I guess to maybe Suicide Girls, but y'know, for ladies. (or dudes into dudes). I came into possession of issue #2 via ebay and it contains such delights as a cartoon dedicated to that most professional of groupies Cynthia Plaster Caster, but I'm kind of jonesing for the first issue which featured this arresting red-headed gypsy:
The photos are super lo-fi and mostly just of guys lounging around their bedrooms proudly holding themselves, and there's a couple of cropped crotch-only shots which makes it an interesting foreshadower of this current trend of celebs - and regular guys - texting photos of their junk. (HI KANYE STILL LOVE YOU). The articles are...brief. 
Sadly, despite being founded on a great sentiment and having an unbeatable name, Sweet Action didn't survive for long and folded after only four issues. On the plus side, the internet is full of blogs and tumblrs dedicated to this particular form of equal-opportunity objectification. Who doesn't want to look at a handsome boy in his underwear?
