Isn’t he just the dreamiest??
I feel like Sandra Dee swooning over this 1950’s dreamboat.The pompadour hair, the square cut, wrap around boxer style swim suit, golden tan, and that amazing body. In his day, he would have been considered gigantic, but compared to the 300+ pound gorillas that compete as bodybuilders, he would be considered scrawny. Whatever, he’s just the right size more me!
Join now to see more of my collection of vintage gay porn in the VIP Room.
Yep, this is exactly what a porn studio looks like. Including a young and buffed Jack LaLaine oiled up and ready to go.
Here a couple more shots from The Young Physique Annual Magazine 1962. These series of magazines, The Young Physique, Physique Pictorial, Muscle Boy, Mr. Groovy, etc. are becoming very collectable all of a sudden. Porn as we know it, is really only about 40 years old and had always been thought of as disposable. Besides being a bit embarrassing when the family comes to visit, people get tired of their porn and recycle it. The hobby of collecting porn is a relatively new concept and unlike collecting other more mass produced items (like records or glassware) I predict that vintage gay porn will only increase in value because it was a limited market to begin with.
When I first started buying vintage gay porn magazines from eBay, they were selling for only a dollar or two. In just the last year or two, I’ve seen prices really skyrocket. There are vintage porn magazines now selling for hundreds of dollars. It’s not unusual see see starting bids at $25.
For a mere $10 trial membership, you can view my entire collection of very valuable and collectable gay porn from the 1950’s through the 1970’s. And I keep adding to my collection all the time!

obscene diary from onur karaoglu on Vimeo.
During the 1950s, a professor and tattoo artist named Samuel Steward chronicled his sex life in drawings, letters, photographs, sexual paraphernalia and other items, and in so doing created documentary evidence of his experience of gay life and homosexuality in American culture at that time. “Obscene Diary,” an exhibition now on view at the Museum of Sex that includes many of Steward’s personal artifacts, drawings and photographs, is a trove of information about how a community of gay men lived in the 50s and 60s. Show runs till January 17th, 2012.

This is a very rare film from the late 1950’s by Apollo Studios. In it, a popular physique model of the time, Steve Wengryn, is wandering the dusty mountain roads of Woodland Hills in the still very rustic San Fernando Valley. It’s so hot and sunny, that Steve decides to take off his shirt, and after a few minutes, removes his pants and shoes, too. So imagine a man walking around an LA suburb in just his jockey shorts. If you were sitting in the shade, drinking iced tea and reading a book and this nearly naked man came to your door, what would you do?
Well, if you’re this guy (who happens to be sitting in super tight cut-off jeans shredded all the way up to the waist) you naturally let him in. Not only that, you size him up and decide to take some “artistic” physique photos. In what must have been a shock beyond compare, the model actually strips down NAKED on camera! We only see his bare butt, but there is no mistaking he’s naked. That must have caused quite a stir at the time.
After few shots indoors, they move outside to shoot. After he’s gotten the shots he needs, the photographer develops the film in the dark room while the model waits under tree, sipping iced tea. When he emerges from the dark room with 8×10 prints, he shows them to the model for his approval. The End.
How about that for jack off material?! If you watch closely though, you’ll notice that neither of the models are ever seen in the same shot together! Not sure what that means, but it could be that the film maker was afraid the models wouldn’t cooperate in any “fag stuff”, or else their schedules just didn’t jive. Who knows. Enjoy the sample, but you can see lots more actual hardcore pre-condom movies with penetration inside the VIP Room. Get your membership now!

The author of this book review is an important and well-connected member of gay history. He was eye-witness to many of the events and knew many of the people involved in some of the stories told in this book about Chuck Renslow. Renslow, unlike most historical figures of modern gay life, IS still alive and is still working hard on projects like the Leather History Museum and his signature yearly event, International Mr. Leather.
The most important quote below: …Born a year before Harvey Milk and politically active 20 years before Milk hit Castro…

Leatherman: The Legend of Chuck Renslow by Tracy Baim and Owen Keehnen; Prairie Avenue Productions, $24.99
In Casablanca, “sooner or later everybody comes to Rick’s.” In Chicago, the world comes to Chuck’s. Since 1950, Chuck Renslow, now 82 and one of the most famous gay men on the planet, has safely hosted thousands of GLBT visitors at his 30 venues, from his legendary Gold Coast bar (1960-88) to his International Mr. Leather Contest (1979) and his prestigious Leather Archives & Museum (1991). For 60 years, Renslow, a politically aggressive Democrat in the Chicago Machine, has been a person of interest to cops, politicians, fans, and frenemies. Read the rest of this entry »

I think this weekend will be the first real taste of summer weather we’re going to have this year in balmy San Francisco. I visited my one friend in the suburbs with a pool last night and he still hasn’t removed the cover for the season yet. It’s been too cold.
I am sooo ready for real summer weather, I decided to add a little summertime treat to the VIP Room. “Nude Ranch Wrestling” comes from sometime in the late 1950’s, shot in black and white, with really poor camerawork and no preparation. But for it’s time, there wasn’t much else in the way of nude males to be found. There were laws preventing the filming of nude men touching – unless they were engaged in an act of pseudo-violence… like wrestling!
The movie starts with a sign hanging on a wall that serves as the title card for this silent (but deadly) smoker. It reads, “Rick’s Nude Ranch. Keep Out. Members Only. Wrestling Match.” So, the event for the day at this nude ranch is going to be a wrestling match? I am so there!
It’s a warm summer day with a blond twink playing a guitar in a swimming pool. Not a particularly glamorous pool, more like an elaborate horse trough, really. We keep referencing back to the twink with the guitar throughout this movie, as it’s obvious his segments were filmed at a different time and just used as transition material. The real action is between two muscular hunks that strip off their clothes the instant they meet. When they sit down on the upholstered couch out by the pool (bad idea!) one grabs a magazine, but that seems to displease the other guy tremendously as he grabs the magazine out of his buddy’s hand and begins to wrestle with him (or is it “wrassle”?)
The two guys who were friends mere moments ago are now rolling around the wrestling mat fighting for dear life. Between cutting back and forth to the blond twink on guitar, the wrestling ends with the two in a scissors hold rolling themselves into the pool. They shake hands and make up (but not make out…)
If there were a “money shot” in this movie made for the 1950’s movie audience, it would be when the two hunks rub a bit of suntan lotion on each other. It ends with the two of them wrapped in a giant towel.
And that, my friends, is what passed for gay porn 50 years ago!

The media is all paying tribute to the fitness and early television pioneer Jack LaLanne after learning the news that the 96 year old had passed away over the weekend.
But what the lamestream media isn’t mentioning is the fact that muscle man Jack LaLanne was UNCUT! For many gay men of a certain age, that is important news. What’s more, Vintage Bareback has photos of Jack LaLanne NAKED! I put together a small gallery of old physique photos, magazine covers and publicity shots of the fitness pitchman, and some of them are nude!
Become a VIP Member of Vintage Bareback and see for yourself!
Mr. LaLanne started his career with an Oakland gym in 1936 – a time when athletes weren’t supposed to lift weights and women weren’t supposed to exercise – and went on to host the longest-running fitness show on television.
He licensed his name to two fitness clubs, wrote exercise books, made videos, gave lectures and marketed a juice machine.
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the world’s most famous bodybuilder, said it was Mr. LaLanne who made exercise a goal for the common man and woman.
In 1951, he started a live exercise show on KGO-TV in San Francisco. The “Jack LaLanne Show” went national in 1959 and ran for 34 years in the United States and Europe.
Mr. LaLanne became known for great feats of strength. At 40, he towed a 2,000-pound cabin cruiser as he swam the Golden Gate Channel. When he was 42, he did a record 1,033 pushups in 23 minutes.
When he was 60, Mr. LaLanne swam from Alcatraz to Fisherman’s Wharf – while handcuffed, shackled and towing a boat.

This black-and-white softcore epic came from the late 1950’s when even showing naked penises was only marginally legal, if legal at all. Producers at the time were desperate to show some sort of all-male “action” in film without showing too much. Showing two guys wrestling was a frequent diversion that allowed one-on-one contact without much indication of eroticism. But the intended audience knew what was going on and were grateful to see any penises on camera, even though they were just dangling.
The preview above gives you a taste of “Beatnik Wrestling“, but the full 8 minute loop is available in the VIP Room. In the full version, the so-called plot begins with two strangers meeting on a dusty trail. It’s a friendly meeting, but the slightest annoyance sets one guy off on a violent rampage, chasing the other guy up a tree. The anger quickly subsides, and the two trim, sinewy bad boys with matching goatees and leather vests head off down the road.
It’s interesting to note that “beatniks” were the most feared segment of society, with a rebellious fashion sense to wear facial hair, tattoos, and sunglasses at night. These guys were about as “rough trade” as you could get at the time.
They come upon a house, knock on the door and find no one home, so naturally, these juvenile delinquents decide to break into the house for no apparent reason. While committing breaking-and-entering, they spot a swimming pool, but proceed into the house. Once inside, they decide it’s nap time, so they strip off all their clothes. Unfortunately, the daybed is only big enough for one, so another wrestling match occurs.
The decor of the house looks rather rustic and Wild West, but the walls are adorned with male erotic painting by George Quaintance.
Again, the wrestling ends as suddenly as it begins, and the two decide to go outdoors and sunbathe in the nude. As expected, the peaceful sun worshipers soon turn violent and in the confusion, they end up rolling into the pool. The wrestling continues till they get tired and decide to let bygones be bygones.
But no sooner do they get out of the pool, another plot twist emerges. The attractive young occupant of the house appears with drinks for the rassling boys! Their rugged beauty and masculinity overwhelm him to the point he not only forgives their trespassing, he drops his own pants and invites the boys back into the pool.
The lesson here is that if you are good looking enough, all your sins will be forgiven!
