I could use some of those 'full-nude art poses'. It's been suggested to me that I might benefit from resuming the live model chicken scratching I did before Covid. Well, I found my old sketchbooks. All I need now is to figure out how to get SS and/or stored pics onto my 'smart' (so I'm told, I wouldn't actually know, myself) TV. Full disclosure: If stick figure drawing in Kindergarten had been graded, I'd've flunked. So mhicken scratching is pretty accurate,lol.
Takes me back! I started collecting skin mags back in the 60s when I lived in Akron, Ohio. There was a magazine store there that carried many delightful magazines. The owner pasted two stickers over the crotch of their cover boys, saying that the second sticker gave the impression that what it was concealing was bigger than it actually was. Ah, the bygone days! What a shame I no longer have those magazines...
Love the double-sticker story! Hilarious. Bet he sold out even after guys figured out his game. Smart businessman. Wish you still had the magazines too, though many of them survive, at least in parts, online…all over the web. Just takes a bit to find and peruse. :-)
Some of my interest predates this era to include early photography and silent movie making from Europe and the UK. This was explicit gay porn and definitely NSFW. So, I'm harking back to Victorian and Edwardian times from the 1870s onwards.
I don't have any links to hand. To find them, you can do what would do. Simply Google things like "Edwardian gay porn" or "late Victorian gay porn" or something similar. It's hardly sharply focused but I think it is fun and interesting as historical evidence that state of the art photographers and movie makers made illegal porn a 100 - 150 years ago.
I too enjoy a lot of what I’ve seen. Though I’m unable to share it directly in my work. Even Substack has its limits. But doesn’t mean I can’t share links. Hmmmmm. Things to doodle and noodle on. lol

I don't think I've ever seen any Silent Era gay porn. Is it available on line? One more avenue to be explored..... (sigh).....☺️
I’ve seen plenty of stills, but I’m working on a post of links to videos of gay—and bi—vintage videos from the 1910s-1970s. Pre-video. :-)

Thanks, Doug. You might’ve seen a version of this before…back in the summer. Decided to dust it off and include it with the post. Cheers!
