Yes! Playgirl still exists!
I was as shocked as you, but the magazine is still printing, and it has a paid subscription site showing really old videos of shoots with gone-but-not-forgotten porn stars like Ben Andrews and Tony Capucci.
And on the cover of the Summer 2015 issue (I guess it’s just a quarterly now?) is none other than retired porn star D.O., whose given name that he returned to a few years back is Dionisio Heiderscheid. Dionisio is Argentinian, and has been a legit model since he was 20, only turning to trying out porn in the last decade on a whim. (According to this 2013 piece for the blog Beautiful, he was a national TV celebrity in Argentina for three years before coming to the U.S. to shoot for Black Scorpion and become an instant gay porn star.)
After going to work for Raging Stallion, D.O. gave this 2010 interview to The Sword in which he talked about how he liked to get wild on set and that Raging was “more about enjoying the sex.” He added, “Previously [at Black Scorpion] I’d be with pretty guys who didn’t want to take my cock deeply, but now I can fuck as hard as I want.”
He’s 41 now, and the proprietor of this fashion/accessory business called OMD Lifestyle that seems to mostly be about beaded necklaces for men.
But I guess he couldn’t resist the urge to get naked again! Or maybe Playgirl’s just been saving these photos since 2011, kind of like that Ben Andrews video they have on their front page that was uploaded “3/19/2015”.
Anyway, here’s the full cover, but that’s all there is for now. I’ve thrown in some recent shots of Dionisio modeling for OMD Lifestyle.
D.O. also escorts for women (and men) at the Prestige Men website.
so he wasnt gay? That is sad
Put him in a room with Lucas and hopefully a creep face singularity will open up and swallow them both.
WOW! D.O. is one beautiful man.
The sub headline Dirk Shafer, 1992’s Man of the Year FOUND DEAD! is unfortunate.
