The compilation of images and interviews from gay. In The Male Nude and The Big Penis Book TASCHEN charts various histories of the erotic male body with contributions from artists like Robert Mapplethorpe, Wilhelm von Gloeden, and David Hockney. While you are in the Bob Mizer Foundation store, check out the other products (we have a few of the t-shirts) that include vintage editions and classic films. Shifting notions of masculinity over time have resulted in different attitudes and aspirations. The best way to insure that anti-sex censorship is quashed, and that the preservation of important historic male erotica continues is to subscribe to this delightful and collectable magazine. Physique Pictorial #48, the spring issue, maintains the high quality, historic importance, and jockstrap stretching inspiration that we have enjoyed since the rebirth of the title. That is due to Bob Mizer’s passionate vision and struggles with censorship as well as the tireless work that Dennis Bell and the staff put into the revived Physique Pictorial. The little magazine that was once secreted away in the back of dad’s underwear drawer, or in a stowed away lock box in the garage is now, 70 years later, the subject of documentaries, lavish coffee table books, and college curricula.
