David Keith
We get a dual view of David Keith who appeared in Playgirl in March, 1975.
Bear and I ended up driving through Wolverhampton once because of a horrific traffic jam on the M-6. Years later, I learned that it was Mr. Scumbeast's home town and understood why he had moved to Amsterdam.
Queen Victoria used to pull down the blinds when travelling by train through the Birmingham-Wolverhampton conurbation - which is the largest in Europe after Moscow - known as the Black Country. It's often thought that this industrialized area earned its name from the soot, but other authorities attribute it to royal sensibilities, which doubtless Mr Scumbeast shared.
This photo was the ubiquitous male nude photo of the 70's. I remember being in a small seminar class, of mostly women, who said this was the only honest representation of beefcake they had seen. In the rather detailed discussion that followed, it was said that most of the nude women, in magazines like Playboy, were usually portrayed as sexually excited with hard, erect nipples, parted wet lips etc. This guy was one of the few who was on an equal basis as the women, with his erect penis and hard nipples, ready for sex. It was also pointed out that he should have looked like he was "glowing" with perspiration/oil to look like he's ready. That was one eye opening class!
That was about the time it became OK for women to ask men out on dates. I'd be honest and tell them I was gay, but some didn't believe me and thought I was just putting them off.
I remember seeing him when browsing in a newsagents in Wolverhampton of all places. Goodness knows now what I was doing there. But I remember him!
