If Ryan Lochte is looking for a way to shake off that whole Rio non-robbery scandal, he may have just been handed the perfect opportunity: Playgirl.
After lying about being robbed at gunpoint while competing in the Rio Olympics last month, Lochte issued a very long-winded half-apology on Instagram, claiming he should have been âmore careful and candidâ about the way he told his story. But that wasnât quite enough to prevent Speedo and Ralph Lauren from pulling endorsement deals with the gold medalist, or stop Rio police from charging him with providing a false claim of a robbery, which carries a sentence of up to 18 months in prison.

But now, after nearly a month of consistently bad news, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel for the douchey 34-year-old swimmer, because the good people at Playgirl say they would like to speak with him about a possible job opportunity.
âWe are reaching out to him with an offer,â Daniel Nardicio, a spokesperson for the company, says. âNow that heâs out of his Speedo sponsorship deal, Playgirl wants to get Ryan Lochte out of his Speedos.â
He added: âWeâre fully prepared to handle this âbrahâ (as Ryan would say), and take his studliness to new heights, in a huge offer to show American men and women what Ryan Lochte really would doânaked.â

Nardicio went on to explain that Playgirl believes Lochte has all the right ingredients to make for an delicious online spread.
âSexiness, athleticism and heâs totally masculine,â he said. âWhat he did in Rio was stupid, so weâd even offer to donate his fee to a Brazilian charity of his choice!â
No word yet on whether Lochte is even considering the offer. Letâs just hope that if he accepts he doesnât pull a Levi Johnston.

The answer is NO
Jack Meoff
He’s only moderately good looking to begin with but once you know someone is a total douche they lose all sex appeal.
Low Country Boy
@Jack Meoff: I have to disagree that he is only moderately good looking, but I wholeheartedly agree with the rest of your comment.

Christ… no!
robho3
Who wants to see a douche bag naked? And I didn’t even know pay girl was still around. It also nauseates me he going to be on dancing with the stars.
Xzamilio
Ugh. Ryan Lochte has the most painful case of N’assatall I have ever seen… like it looks like it hurts.
ryuichi
He has embarrassed and hurt the image of the United States. Should be barred from further Olympics.
PoetDaddy
I had little interest in him before the Olympics and NO interest in him now,, dressed or not.
nmharleyrider
Heck no. The guy is totally unsexy. Now Michael Phelps is another case. Tall and sexy
xanderbear
Sure, I’d love to see him naked. Hopefully he’ll show his hole too.
pattygale
Don’t really care, but maybe we’ll see if he was lying about anything else….. Haha
Hussain-TheCanadian
Who the hell asked for this?????
Billy Budd
He has a BIG bulge inside his speedos, which means he is well endowed. He is also very good looking. Of course I would like to see him naked. I would even like to see the fuhrer naked if he were THAT hot.
brian_keith
I would, sure- why not. He is moderately physically attractive. It’s not like I am getting into a relationship with the guy; I have no other interest in him. But, sure, I’ll see him naked.
lencho
Why?
oregonduckbrad
Nope.
JayDub
Sure… Why not.
mmedesevigne
@xanderbear: I have the feeling he’s already shown his hole.
mauikamaaina
Eeeeeeeeew! YUCK!!
JerseyMike
UUUUHHHHH…. NO
salumbre
Yes, PLEASE. Who cares if he’s an idiot? What do you think it’s going to be on display on the Playgirl spread, his PhD diploma?
batesmotel
It says that Playgirl approached him with an offer, but it doesn’t say that Ryan has agreed or is even considering it. I wouldn’t mind seeing him naked. No doubt he looks good. Sure yeah, he’s an arrogant douche bag who likes to exaggerate what he says. I’ll still bang him.
Mack
@robho3: DWTS seems to be hitting the bottom of the barrels this year. Both Lochte, Vanilla Ice and Rick Perry in the same show.
VampDC
No.
And gay men need to STOP supporting anything Playgirl does.
Its all the is wrong with the industry. Uses “girl in the cover”, completely aware gay men are the MAJORITY of their consumer and purchaser, yet gives no credit to gay men and makes it appear that these men are stripping for women.
Sansacro
@batesmotel: Totally.
ubicomp
Ugh, Someone make this turd go away.
mujerado
@VampDC: – Who cares? Yes, there are gay men in Playgirl, and they’re not identified as such. There are also straight men in gay magazines and porn, and they’re also not identified as such. What’s the difference? Looking at hot naked men is an exercise in fantasy.
Mike
I’ll believe it when I see it
CWM85
I knew queerty was only talking about this whole issue for queer baiting him… you guys are such sleaze….
kittyconrad
Oh, puhleeze, everybody on this thread will look at him naked.
SportGuy
Gross! No!
sanfranca1
NO!
Stenar
Gross. No, thank you!
Chris
I’m already putting in my Queerty-click reservation to the “OMG, he’s naked!” web site.
JerseyMike
@kittyconrad: Sorry Kitty but there is nothing about him that attracts me.. I like my men the way I like my coffee..
Kevin
If there was anything of real interest to see, he would have made certain that everyone had already seen it before this.
da90027
I wonder if he will dye his pubes to match those god awful fake colors he dyes his hair on his head…LOL
ShaunNJ
At first I thought sure – it’s the least he can do as penance for his douchey behavior in Rio. On the other hand, not really. It is so easy to see naked images and actual sex online. Any type of man who fits one’s preference or fantasy is available with a few clicks. We can live without Ryan Lochte. I hope he grows up mentally and does something productive now that his career is effectively over.
RIGay
Playgirl is still a thing?
Uh. No, not interested. The guy is dumber than a turd and his “I’m just a Frat Bro” persona wore out its welcome years ago.
Chester
NO, THERE IS ENOUGH OF THIS OVERGROWN CHILD THIS YEAR WITH HIS CHILDISH ANTICS!!! THANKS, BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian
Is Playgirl still around and does it sell any copies?? Sheesh…..
desertboy
Very hot. Can’t wait.

@mujerado:
I agree that seeing a handsome man is exciting regardless of their sexual orientation or such. One thing I do have to point out is that gay porn magazines at least acknowledge their target audience and not pretend otherwise. Playgirl, for all intents and purposes, has long acknowledged its gay male audience but they keep up their facade of catering to women to try and remain a legit women’s magazine as f they ever were.
Billy Budd
In my experience, very very few women are interested in erotica/porn. I could easily bet $1000 that MOST playgirl customers are male. But i am sure they hide these statistics.

As to be expected, there are a mixed bag of comments, many skewed to the negative and bitchy end of the spectrum–kind of a bummer that there are so many bitter beyotches out there in cyberland. Why do so many of those unhappy girls have to vent on here?
About Lochte: Hell yeah, it’d be hot to see him in the buff–but anybody with any vision capacity at all can already tell this hot jock is packing, and I mean for Real. There was a wet Speedo pic of him snapped just before the Olympics, it looked like he was just finishing a training session, outdoors on a sidewalk, maybe walking to his car. Jebus–was that one large sock, or a full pair of two socks, Ryan? Nice. So in some ways, the full buff would be destroying the hot fantasy (based on reality) he creates strutting around in his wet Speedo’s. But seriously: Playgirl’s gonna offer him a big enough check for him to bother even considering it? (And quite correct, commenters, Playgirl is/was “read” and enjoyed by WAY more gay men than women, methinks. I know I had my fave months. đ
Yeah, he’s not the brightest bulb in the scoreboard, but I don’t hop in bed with guys based on their IQ’s. And unlike some of his haters, I think he’s full blown HOT, handsome–and obviously, a member in good standing of the 3-H Club: Hot, Handsome and HUNG.
As for the idiotic comments about his hair: 1 word, folks: CHLORINE. I used to swim competitively, and chlorine will bleach out anybody’s hair a bit–especially if you’re in the pool 5-7 days a week training for hours on end, and especially if you’ve dyed your hair blonde. The bleach blonde locks looked hot on Lochte–till the chlorinated water turned his hair to a bizarre blue/grey. Jeez, people actually thought he dyed his hair to look like that? LOL. Sure as hell didn’t detract from his hot looks, IMO.
I used to play for the other team, but hot in-shape jocks helped me realize my bisexuality was only a phase. Muscle studs do it for me. Bring it, muscle boys….
And thank you, Ryan Lochte, for helping me to confirm my tastes are still the same (like the song lyrics say):
I like ’em big and stupid. ;-p
Bauhaus
Hell yes. Lochte is a bonehead, but I’d ogle his nude pics.
pscheck2
From all the comments read, I would say we have in Lockte a bonehead narcissist ! I have to admit he appeals to me sexually and wouldn’t mind seeing him in the ‘altogether!’IMHO, (from interviews and info about him (speculations!), I think he has his foot firmly planted in our ‘pool!’LoL.
glennr
i would love to see what Lochte has under that speedo because he has all but implied he is endowed on many occasions so let’s see how much he is hanging. I would buy that issue of Playgirl!
