Coverboy: Eric
Indulgent Explorer
Few people embody the idea of joie de vivre as much as this week’s Coverboy. Having moved to Suitland, Md., from Toledo, Ohio, just three weeks ago, 23-year-old Eric likes to maintain an active and adventurous lifestyle. A self-described ”explorer” who loves everything from camping in the great outdoors to full-contact sports, this professional boxer, dancer and model lives the axiom of variety being the spice of life. As the youngest of five siblings, Eric admits he was spoiled as a child, but even as an adult he likes to indulge his tastes – particularly with food. But he brings more to a relationship than just dining richly and seeking thrills; he’s also a handyman who loves building things, and a creative and versatile lover when it comes to the art of romance.

Toys, condoms, lube.

Charmed, Bad Girls Club and sometimes I watch the History Channel or the animal channel.
What was your favorite cartoon when you were a kid?
Rugrats.
What superhero would you be?
Batman. I always feel like I have to be the one to save somebody, the one to step up.
