These past months have been a scorcher, with summer spent celebrating bodies, desire, and freedom. Issue 13 is our love letter to the season — a collection of memories, heat, and encounters.

We feature Josh, photographed in Antwerp, whose offbeat charm has built a global following. Elsewhere, we join John Whaite on a barge during a British heatwave, watch Reece from Magic Mike Live London in motion, and meet New York firefighter Hamza. In Greece, Apostolis is captured by Fotis Tetikis in sun-drenched images that feel like a holiday in themselves.

We also celebrate community and pride, with coverage of London’s Black Pride in the former Olympic Park, photographed by Courtney Nathan Phillip.

Issue 13 of Crotch is a summer escape — hot, human, and unapologetically alive.
