DNA Magazine DNA #288 – Next Big Things Vorige editie

First up, can we stop and go wow at Max on the cover? He's really packing those briefs and so is the perfect cover model for our Next Big Things issue!

This month, our writers have put together all the trends on the horizon for 2024. There's pop music from Lil Nas, Dua Lipa, Jude York and Troye Sivan, and theatre musicals, how AI might affect adult entertainment, how alcohol is going "low cal", and how swimwear is going sustainable.

On the small screen, there are some great gay offerings coming our way, including a "killer comedy" from Zachary Quinto and Lukas Gage, a heartbreaking drama starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, and an actual "intimate moment" on a beach, plus Ncuti Gatwa as Dr Who and the return of Boy Culture.

Men getting into makeup for everyday grooming and for self-expression is a trend that's here to stay. We look at how much the industry is worth and where it's going for us!

And, of course, we all want to know what's going to be big in underwear in 2024 so we feature the latest gear from Rude Rainbow, Rufskin, Code 22, ThePack, Pump and Locker Gear.

Our features include a look at the infamous Inquisition fetish parties and why, after 10 years, they are coming back! “It was a heaving, sweatbox of leather, rubber, skin, sex, darkrooms and more…" Maybe that's why!

Also, hilarious Rhys Nicholson has a chat, gay and deaf actor Nathan Borg tells us about his Neighbours romance, we travel to Kuala Lumpur to find it's teaming with hotties, meet acrobat husbands, interview Emeli Sande, and our Straight Mate is actor Todd Lasance who takes the lead in NCIS Sydney. And, yes, we have all seen him naked in Spartacus and he knows it!

If you're looking for more man-heat, our Cruising Rome story, shot in a gay sauna in Rome, should keep you satisfied.

Plus we have all your usual favourites: The Last Word, Books, The Debrief, Burnttoast, Fight Club and more!
