Entry from Wikipedia:
Samson (月刊サムソン) is a monthly Japanese magazine for gay men.
Gay
magazines in Japan, along with much gay culture, are segregated by
"type"; most are aimed at an audience with specific interests. Samson specializes
in daddies, older, chubby men and salarymen in suits
and occasionally fundoshi, or traditional Japanese loincloths.
Samson was started in 1982. The magazine features photographs and
drawings which, while they feature explicit depictions of sex, are censored in
accordance with Japanese law to obscure genitals and pubic hair.
Like G-men, Samson has
fewer general articles than other magazines such as Barazoku and more
short fiction and serialized stories. Each month there are community listings,
several different stories — often pornographic — and several in comic form as
well, and advertisements from gay-related and gay-friendly businesses such as day
spas, clubs and hotels, bars, cafes and restaurants, host bars (hustler bars), brothels,
and so forth.
Readers
can also place personal ads free of charge, and each month there are several
pages of these, most from men in search of romantic attachments, friends or sex
partners. Such ads have long been a popular way for gay men to meet each other
in Japan, though text messaging and the internet are probably more popular now.
The
magazine is printed in Japanese only.
