a good dicks vertical is hard to find

Now this is cool: a magazine’s “body issue” that’s focused on the male experience via honest personal essays on binge-eating, being underweight, bulking up + all the ways toxic masculinity fucks with all that, brought to us by MEL Magazine — which, if you aren’t familiar, is both somehow a fun Vice-y “men’s mag” where you can read up on the etymology of the word “titty” (h/t Natalie for this gem) but also peruse an entire vertical for dicks, apparently:

Which is all extremely wild, considering that, if you didn’t know, MEL was started in 2015 as an editorial site by Dollar Shave Club, making it, yes, kind of technically corporate spon con?? Ugh.
