I got these magazines in the mail a few weeks ago and I wanted to give you a little heads-up of what’s coming to Vintage Bareback because they are so cool.

Young Physique Magazine was produced by Joe Weider, the same publisher that still puts out Muscle and Fitness Magazine (you know, the one you always stare at in the supermarket line…). But back before Weider was legit, he put out magazines that were essentially softcore gay porn. These two were from 1960 and 1961 and featured sample photos of guys dabbling in the early days of gay porn like Athletic Model Guild, Vulcan Studio, Western Photography Guild, Milo, and Bruce of Los Angeles.

When you think of Weider and M&F Magazine, you think of giant steroid bodybuilders, but the models at that time were definitely more boyish, er, make that porn-ish! Most of the poses were nude but with the dicks discreetly covered and not-so discreetly homoerotic. There were some ads for bodybuilding related products like vitamins and barbells (that shipped from Weider’s own warehouse) but most of the ads were for photo sets from the aforementioned photographers.

I haven’t scanned these particular magazines yet, but they are so outstanding and rare that I wanted to give you a little tease to join so you can marvel at the thousands of pages of vintage gay porn magazines I have already added to the VIP Room. And stay tuned, there is lots more to come!
