Hairy
This young man has a hairy chest, something not unheard of among
Fred Kovert's models. Most, however, were quite smooth.
Somebody could probably research this and do a term paper on it, or perhaps even a masters' thesis. I've seen photos as early as the 1910s where the models appear to be at least trimmed, if not fully shaved. In the 1920s, you actually see it more, especially in the edgier artistic types such as ManRay. As for the current trend, I don't know how widespread it is beyond porn. I do know that it is in the minority at the Big Island nudist beaches, but those locations tent to attract men who prefer nature, body hair and all.
Glad he saved us this one. Lovely hair pattern!
ReplyDeleteRight. I would have preferred it without the oil, but that was pretty much standard back then.
DeleteI think he trimmed that bush; it looks squared off.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying he couldn't have done it, but if you enlarge the picture the top line doesn't look even.
DeleteJerry, any idea when manscaping or genital grooming got started? It seems to be the norm nowadays, right?
