Men (formerly Advocate Men) was an American gay lifestyle and adult magazine published from 1984 to 2009. Established by Liberation Publications in Los Angeles, the magazine originally served as a sister publication to The Advocate. Its primary purpose was to provide a financial foundation for The Advocate's editorial operations through the marketing of adult products and erotic content.
Throughout its tenure, the publication gained a significant following for its erotic fiction, video reviews, and professional photography featuring adult film stars, notably establishing its annual Man of the Year honor in 1998. In 2008, the brand underwent a major restructuring under Unzipped Media following its acquisition by Regent Media. In September 2009, the publisher announced the cessation of monthly print issues in favor of a quarterly digital-first model. The publication was ultimately discontinued.
