A NOTE FROM YOUR EDITOR
Welcome back, gentlemen. From the stunning Eric Hanson on our cover (and on ten pages of gorgeous photos beginning on page 32), to our affectionate tribute to jockstraps, a steamy exploration of nipple play, and our naming of the 69 essential things every gay man should know about dating, the March issue of Unzipped Monthly throbs with pleasure. But before you turn the page and indulge yourself, a word about publishing "best of" lists. Last month we ran just such a feature naming our picks for porn's sexiest, most insatiable and most eternally pissed-off (among other designations), and in the process generated a flood of e-mail and letters from guys who were incensed that their favorites weren't included. We're glad so many of you took the time to share your thoughts (even if you were pissed at us). Keep those letters coming! We read all of them. Finally, Zak Spears' cover and layout in our November issue continues to generate heated letters from guys who didn't like the layout, as well as from those who are chagrined that there are gay men in the world who don't appreciate Zak's hirsute splendors. The battle rages on below.
