Maybe I’m the only one who notices these things (or cares) but part of the fun of collecting vintage gay porn is spotting things in the background. No Holes Barred is a magazine with a photo set that looks very familiar. I’ve seen that same plaid couch a couple times, and maybe even recognize one of the models, but there is no indication anywhere who shot it or where the location was.
I picked these two examples of things in the background most people would miss. First is the poster on the wall of Senator George McGovern. He was a Democratic presidential candidate in 1972 (lost to Richard Nixon) and somewhat of a liberal because he was against the Vietnam War. The youth backed him because they didn’t want to get drafted, so that’s why it was common to have his poster on the wall.
The other interesting thing you might miss in the second photo was the shoes. I had a pair of shoes exactly like those in 11th grade, and it wasn’t till I went on the Senior Class Trip to New York that I was able to find platform shoes with higher heels. Around the time these photos were taken, the really tall platform shoes for men were only worn by rock stars because they had to get them custom made. I was so proud to have the highest pair of platforms in my school that fall!
So what about the sex in this magazine? As the title suggests, it’s “No Holes Barred”! If you like penetration shots, this magazine has a lot of them. Join the VIP Room to see the set.
