Crotch is a magazine explicitly dedicated to bringing you up close and personal with the hottest men in the world. For this special issue, we wanted to celebrate one of the sexiest global cities, through the perspective of beautiful men who have made, and continue to make, New York their home. To do so, we’ve teamed up once again with recent arrival to the Big Apple, the renowned photographer Ramon Christian, who has shot all the stories in this issue. In doing so, Ramon brings his own personal perspective as we venture into homes and studios, up-close and personal with some of the sexiest men in the city. We wanted to capture New Yorkers as they are—raw and unfiltered, horny and romantic. And we wanted to hear from them direct. Their stories—the good, the bad, the extremely hot—do not disappoint. Ultimately, we hope to provide a snapshot of an ever-changing East Coast experience and give you, the Crotch reader, an appetite for your next Big Apple adventure.
