Boy Card 01

December 23, 2016 Editor Destroyer Leave a comment

Last Christmas I printed this photo, taken by Nicola in Syracuse, Italy, in 1978.

As of today, it is available in the shop.

But don’t order it separately, as it wouldn’t make sense shippingwise. Only add it if you place a bigger order. Or write “free card” in the comment field when checking out, and I’ll include it for free throughout the holidays with your order of other stuff (as I’ve done sometimes before – maybe you already have the card?).

I plan to print more photo cards. Requests for motives are welcome, but may not be granted!

With that, I wish all my readers a Merry Christmas!

Everyday happiness

December 19, 2016 Editor Downtown Leave a comment

Monday morning, the last week before Christmas. You can barely get out of bed. You’re two days away from the winter solstice; it’s the third darkest day of the year and the sun rises only at 8.14 am and sets at 3.53 pm. You struggle in the morning traffic with the other poor souls of your city, your sleepy gaze lingering on the wet sidewalk. And there he is: Mowgli.

Congratulations to those of you who grabbed it in time, despite the higher price tag!

Boys’ Puberty for everyone!

November 10, 2016November 10, 2016 Editor Destroyer Leave a comment

Boys’ Puberty presents the results of an online poll for teenage boys about their physical development during puberty. The leaflet contains photos, graphs and short informational texts.

The graphs show when boys grow their first pubic hair, armpit hair, when they get their first ejaculation, when they start shaving, how often they masturbate, in what direction their boner points, etc.

The slim (16 pages) leaflet measures 105 x 148 mm (“half Destroyer”) and was initially only offered to members. It was printed in 100 numbered copies in December 2015.

Since the membership club has been discontinued, I have now made Boys’ Puberty available for everyone!

You can buy it in print for 10 euro (~10.90 USD) or as a PDF download for 4.95 euro (~5.39 USD, also “half Destroyer”). There are currently 42 print copies available.

Buy or preview Boys’ Puberty here!

Enjoy!

The logo is back!

November 9, 2016 Editor Destroyer Leave a comment

Did you notice that the Destroyer logotype disappeared from the masthead of this website in the last few days?

I hadn’t done any updates, so I was perplexed as to how this had happened.

Today I looked into it, and it turned out that the logo was still hosted on a sandbox website where I had played around with the theme, but which I deleted last week. And with that, the linked logotype naturally disappeared.

I hope you enjoy seeing it again!

The Lover 03 has been out for a month now, and several longtime readers have given me very positive feedback – thank you!

One reader wrote:

The Lover issue 03. Best magazine yet. I have not read all of it yet but getting close. I hope this magazine will last for at least as long as Destroyer, if not longer. … Thanks again for The Lover 03. Fantastic.

A gay couple wrote (translated by me from German):

The Lover issue 3 reached us the day before yesterday – again, a huge success! Many thanks. Your work is unfathomably important, and your energy and your courage is enviable.

Another loyal reader:

I have receive the 03 … Amazing. Simply – amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lover 03 has a historical focus. Here are the content highlights:

Old Man and the Boys. In a previously unpublished manuscript, the character called “Old Man” lays out the words about man/boy life in postwar Stockholm. His stories will make you gasp! The reportage is aptly illustrated by amateur photographers.
Why Did the West Change? In connection to Old Man’s stories, we try to find out why the West changed so radically in the last half century.
Sweden’s First Gay Scandal. Meet Theodor and his boys.
Twinks Can Get You Trouble. This issue’s case study details how a UK jury decided that confirmed 18+ adult actors were underage.
Raster detective. Our series on vintage magazines continues with Superboy from 1980.
Culture articles on manga, anime and radio drama.
Plus reader letters, news stories, book reviews and more!

The Lover does not contain any frontal nudity. The articles are aptly illustrated with beautiful and/or relevant images. All issues of The Lover are available at the German National Library. The magazine has also been included in the archive of Schwules Museum in Berlin.
