Unzipped Shoots Portland Mayor's Former Lover

When he was just 18 years old, Beau Breedlove had an affair with Portland mayor Sam Adams. Now he's posing nude for the cover of Unzipped magazine.

Beau Breedlove, the former lover of gay Portland, Ore., mayor Sam Adams, has accepted Unzipped magazine's offer to be featured on the magazine's May cover and traveled to Los Angeles this weekend for a nude photo shoot, editors announced on Tuesday.

Breedlove's name was thrust into the spotlight in January, when Adams admitted to having an affair with the former state legislature intern. The affair allegedly took place in 2005, when Adams was a Portland city commissioner and Breedlove was just 18 years old.

Adams had previously maintained their relationship was strictly platonic.

Unzipped's website, Unzipped.net , quickly became the go-to destination for all things Breedlove when editors posted a photo gallery of pictures from Breedlove's now deleted MySpace page. When interest in the photos took off, the magazine extended an offer for Breedlove to appear on the cover. Breedlove agreed to the offer for an undisclosed amount of money.

"Beau Breedlove was extremely professional at his first erotic photo shoot in Los Angeles this past weekend," Unzipped online editor Sean Carnage told Advocate.com. "He came to L.A. to prove that the Portland scandal does not define his sexuality. The photos portray the real Beau -- a confident and extremely handsome young man who is openly sensual, openly sexual, and has nothing to hide."

The May issue of Unzipped will be on newsstands in mid April. For photos from Breedlove's trip to Los Angeles, visit Unzipped.net . (Advocate.com)

isn't 18 considered consenting The now mayor was just a comissioner of sorts and I don't think the then 18 year old was thinking he could be the gay version of Monica (I'm guessing he swallowed?Hence where's the DNA bitch) or was he too young to decided for himself and needed coaching..and burped after he had his lip smackin slurping snack?? just goes to show you twink loving old enough to be trolls well not all of you (got to give it to both sides to be fair).men a little older are usually alot wiser and alot better in the sack, trust me I'm an old whore and remember the days of underage and the difference being 18 meant (less tricks .sob..lol.). So really look at it for what its worth good old fashion Media Hype even funnier is that no one is closeted in this matter I hope Beau is hotter than what this whole thing looks to be.Trust me young man your not looking all that hot in other ways and beware of the media they can do more than suck you dry.peice love dear.

Screw the religious right! He's just doing what he should do under these circumstances. Plenty of people losing their jobs and homes in this effed up economy would almost kill for 15 minutes of infamy to profit from. And after all, with name like Beau Breedlove, he was never gonna be Secretary of State.

Aren't The Advocate and Unzipped both owned by Regent Media or were? It is unethical to not disclose this.

He'll be forgotten by next weekend, he's not that important nor is he that relevant. Just another tool looking to waste his moments of fame on a skin bag, seems very pedestrian to me.

That quote is interesting, let's dissect. It wasn't good enough for him to simply be professional at his first erotic photo shoot--- but he was extremely professional--- that must have been some casting couch. He is trying to prove that the scandal doesn't define his sexuality. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary "SEXUALITY: the quality or state of being sexual: a: the condition of having sex b: sexual activity c: expression of sexual receptivity or interest especially when excessive." While the scandal may not define him my guess is that his junk splayed out for all to see will define him plenty. I am not sure what they are saying about him, I am not sure they know what they are saying about him.We can all rest easily knowing he is openly sensual, sexual and has nothing to hide. Not that any of this defines a person. LOL
