Below and in the following section is an article called The Male Nude in Sculpture which was a common feature of these early magazines. These were done mostly to give an air of legitimacy, but they sometimes included some interesting commentary and forward thinking. If you enlarge this and take the time, you might find it interesting, and of course it's peppered with male nudes.
One way to get around the censors at the time as art or photographic studies….:)
ReplyDelete. . . or claiming your gay magazine models were nudtsts, lol.
DeleteThe first photo in this section is Joe Cyr who was a friend of Bob Mizer. The 2nd Photo is Joe Cyr who was tall lifting Jim Giussi who was short. Both were Bob Mizer models. Guissi used the stage name Scutter McKay to appear on TV shows such as "Family Affair" and "Adam-12". Neither Cyr nor Giussi were Nudists.
