i managed to pick up Physique Pictorial volume 7 no. 3 from 1957 in pretty stellar condition

Physique Pictorial was one of several “beefcake magazines” marketed to gay men as an open secret when outright homosexual pornography was illegal

read the disclaimer regarding the magazine’s purpose on the front page

because it didn’t feature full frontal nudity nor sex acts, the youngest model in this issue is 15; a disturbing part of this history

the fall 1957 offering has art from George Quaintance, Dom Orejudos (Etienne), and Art-Bob
