Playgirl is an American magazine that has historically featured pictorials of nude and semi-nude men alongside general interest, lifestyle, and celebrity journalism, as well as original fiction. For most of its history, the magazine printed monthly and was marketed mainly to women, though it quickly developed a significant gay male readership.
In 2009, Playgirl transitioned from a monthly to quarterly print publication, before ceasing regular print operations in 2016. In 2020, the magazine relaunched in November with nearly 10,000 copies in the U.S. and London before selling out and going back to press for a second printing and resumed monthly releases as an online-only publication in 2020.[1][2][3]
