From planetout:
"Our current masculine ideal is no longer the burly man on the roll of Brawny paper towels. The A&F Quarterly has delivered a new kind of easy-going masculinity: smooth-chested, sporty and younger with an easy-care sexuality. This image of late-teen jocks who enjoy a brisk game of touch football in the mud but can never seem to finish a game without dog-piling on each other with their pants around their ankles reached its zenith in the late 90s."
