Forever Butt Hardcover – January 7, 2015

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 118 ratings

Pocket-sized, pink and super gay, the first issue of BUTT magazine arrived in the spring of 2001, sweeping aside the clichés of the mainstream homo press. Ever since, BUTT has maintained its independence, resisting clean-cut commercialism in favor of frank Q&As, revealing photography and a delightfully direct take on sex between men. Just by being its horny, happy self, BUTT has attracted contributions from the world’s best writers and photographers. Meanwhile, frequent BUTT parties and the CLUB BUTT social network have mobilized an international army of loyal friends and fans in sexy solidarity.

This meaty anthology, FOREVER BUTT, revisits some of the magazine’s finest and most thrilling moments from more than a decade in print. Material from now rare and collectible editions of BUTT is here made available again here, including sexy pictures, and candid interviews with such spectacular men as Gore Vidal, François Sagat, Marc Jacobs and Your Big Dick Host. In true BUTT style, the book not only celebrates sex as something joyous, social and silly while but is also, as artist Wolfgang Tillmans writes in his introduction, “first and foremost an exhilarating read”.

With sexy pictures of, and candid interviews with: AA Bronson, Aiden Shaw, Andy Butler, Bernhard Willhelm, Bruce LaBruce, Christopher Ciccone, Dennis Cooper, Didier Lestrade, Don Bachardy, Ed Droste, Edmund White, Francesco Vezzoli, François Sagat, Gore Vidal, Jason Whipple, Javier Peres, Jayne County, Joe Gage, John Holland, John Waters, Jonny Wooster, Julian Ganio, Karl Kolbitz, Marc Jacobs, Marco Flores, Nico Muhly, Paul Antonio, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Perez Hilton, Greek Pete, Rick Owens, Roger Payne, Rosa von Praunheim, Ryan Trecartin, Slava Mogutin, Stephen Galloway, Stephin Merritt, Tommy DeLuca, Ian & Marc Hundley, Vince Aletti, Walter Pfeiffer and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Review

“We’re not sure whether we’ll be keeping this book on our coffee tables or in a box under our beds labelled ‘Privé’.” ― 10 Magazine

“…A dazzling mix of men who splash their gayness all over this 536 page whopper. It’s a great idea for the gift season to come.” ―
Fantastic Man

About the Author

The Dutchmen Jop van Bennekom and Gert Jonkers are the editors, publishers, entrepreneurs and all-around media obsessives who’ve been at the helm of their inimitable publishing house for more than a decade. Both born forty-something years ago in the underpopulated Dutch province of Gelderland, they only met in the late ’90s, while working on a monthly magazine in Amsterdam. They founded BUTT in 2001 after a boozy work appointment in that city’s illustrious Spijker bar. By putting the sex back into homosexuality, BUTT shook up the world of gay publishing. Its popularity was sealed in 2006, when a digest of the first five years of the magazine, BUTT BOOK, was published by TASCHEN and became an absolute bestseller. Jop and Gert broadened their focus to include dressing up as well as stripping off with their launch of ‘Men’s Style Journal’ FANTASTIC MAN in 2005. Defined by rare wit and a refusal to address its readers as mere consumers, FANTASTIC MAN has categorically turned the tide in fashion publishing with its fastidious long-form interviews, style anthropology and stark art direction. A sister publication, THE GENTLEWOMAN, was born in London in 2010, again to great critical acclaim. Jop and Gert divide their time between their offices in Amsterdam and London.

    I love the pictures and the stories. There are historic figures in the book like John Waters. There is quite a bit of nudity. I bought it because of the title and the cover. The hairy guy on the jacket cover is Jason Whipple. They have a nice spread of him in the book. I also like that he is into books. The book lives up to its name as the best and baddest of butt magazine. There are gay parents in the book. They are Rick and Daren from Dallas. The interviews are interesting. It ends with an index of the 29 BUTT magazines that they made. I would recommend this book. I even liked the smell of the book.

    I'm having a really good time reading this!! You can meet a guy who's a specialist in butt massage, a guy who doesn't change hsi sheets for 11 years and a gay porn star who's in vacation with his mother! Where else??

    Reminds me a bit of Playboy in the 60s & 70's-- yeah there's eye-candy, but also serious articles. I was a bit disappointed when unboxing (video explains why LOL). But 5 stars definitely.

    I just now started really getting into the book. Obviously the pictures are kind of destructing, but once you get pass that, the writing is very good. I saw this book in London but then ordered it online. What made me buy the book in the first place is the interesting angles that the pictures were taken. I just love it. Now that I'm actually owning the book and reading it, I started to pay attention to the different variety of guys that are shown there and interviewed and it made me love the book even more. I truly recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2015
    Loving reading this. The hard back version feels a pleasing well designed object also.
    My only weeny gripe is a couple (literally 2-3) of the articles which appeared in the 1st Butt Book are reproduced again in this 2nd Butt Book and i think that's a bit odd but it doesn't hurt as there's lots to dip into.
    If the first Butt book is anything to go buy, a 2nd hand copy of this book in 10-15 years time will be worth £100-£200 so buy yours while it's cheap !
