Reader KentP commented on my previous post and photo of Playgirl model David Van Brunt. Kent also included a link to a very similar photo of David (2nd photo) and made some interesting points in his comments.
The top photo is the one I posted a few days ago. The other photo is from the link Kent provided. I'll summarize his comments. First of all, the top photo did not appear in the magazine; however, the second photo did. So where did it come from? Was the top photo a Photoshop job? Kent and I agree it is not. The photos are similar, but not identical. (Note the placement of David's left hand. It's closer to his torso in the first photo.) Was this published in a later issue? Perhaps one of those Best Of retrospectives? Possibly. Was David's full erection felt to be too risqué for publication? Well, Playgirl first showed a full erection in 1980, three and a half years prior to this. So, probably not.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Where and/or when was this first published?
