It's the same for men as well as women. Some of the men could get away with nnoticeably groomed chest hair, but both sexes were held to the "Brazilian" body hair standards.

He had to be careful because of his record of arrests. Don Whitman probably got away with it because he never distributed any frontal nudes until it was legal. I'm not saying he never took any, but he was careful to avoid legal entanglements.Vintage Muscle Menhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244653188564625879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-84377443894310056472021-04-11T06:30:12.267-10:002021-04-11T06:30:12.267-10:00In a way that was a "poke in the eye" to...In a way that was a "poke in the eye" to the censors.Vintage Muscle Menhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244653188564625879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-67244141571864323842021-04-11T05:43:41.665-10:002021-04-11T05:43:41.665-10:00I've often wondered if Don Whitman deliberatel...I've often wondered if Don Whitman deliberately pushed the envelope by seemingly providing smaller posing straps to his models than other photographers. I've read that Bob Mizer of AMG would occasionally edit his films and withdraw some photographs because of exposed pubic hair. But perhaps the authorities had Mizer in their sights more than Don Whitman, who used more discernibly bodybuilder models. (I've never found out anything about the Conklin Twins - not for want of trying.)
