Yes, that is X-Files star David Duchovny to your left, in a rather unfortunate pose for Playgirl in 1991. Gigglesugar rounded up some the recently-defunct confused porn magazine's covers. After the jump: Richard Gere, Burt Reynolds, and the scariest Playgirl cover of all time. (SFW)

In 1974, Burt Reynolds would love to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Richard Gere.

Mere months after the fall of the Soviet Union, new opportunities were available for the Russian people—including the opportunity to be one of the "Guys of Glasnost."

In 1991, this must have been the standard for male beauty. Clearly the emphasis on heavily muscled, long-haired dudes was a result of the insecurity women felt due to the looming recession. Their earning (hunting/gathering) power was decreased, which led them to sexualize alpha males like this one.
