Jim Stryker - one of the original Vintage Beefcakes

From the looks of things, the guy hasn't got a thing on me.

Jim Stryker, avec dong.

Never heard of him a beefcake Tab Hunter - so yes please.

That's a real Hollywood loaf at R32

All-American Boy

Jeff?

Jim.

Okay, the pics are great... what ever happened to Jim Stryker? I did a quick google search, don't find any wiki page, recent interview... is he alive? Gone full MAGA? Living quietly on a ranch somewhere in the west? Married well and is in Europe? Can be found serving coffee at a Starbucks?

He’d be about 87 now.

*89

He had just turned 18 when the photographer discovered him in 1952, meaning he was born around 1934. If he’s still alive he would be 89 years old.

Nothing is known of him. After all of those photos were released in those underground beefcake mags or sold individually to people who would mail the photographer for them, he vanished. Stayed off the radar and map. No one knows what ever happened to him. He probably wanted it that way.

Spongy dick that is all show but not hard enough to do the job?

Love the ass shot at R39. Would’ve gladly traded fucks with him.

A Hollywood loaf is a cock that is fluffed enough to be larger, but to not too much, so it still appears mostly flaccid. Just enough to make it look bigger on camera, without coming across as a hard on.

40 second video of Jim playing with a bow and arrow

And rare video of him lounging on Fire Island beach in 1961, almost a decade after he took his first set of photos. My OP photo was taken the same day.

A Hollywood Loaf is half a hard on. Cause everyone was on so many drugs, that is all you can get up.

You couldn't mail a picture of a FULL hard on through the U.S. Mails.....so the Hollywood loaf was the closet thing you could see.

You couldn’t mail ANY nudity through the mail.

Maybe he died of the AIDS.

OP, how did you come across him? There’s very little on Google.

In some pics he looks like a ginger below the waist. I’ve dated a couple of those.

R57 I didn’t come across him recently. I’ve known of him for over 60 years at this point.

We had a neighbor who had beefcake rags in his basement that I found while being nosy and playing with his son. I don’t think I understood why he had them but I knew I liked what I saw and Jim was in one and I never forgot him.

He's my father.

Would be nice to see more pics of his ass, like the one at R39.

Jim Stryker was certainly a looker but not someone who would have aged well.

He’s got a certain Allan Keyser/early-Bubba Higgins thing going on, particularly in the pictures where he has a flat top haircut.

I always amazes me that they could find so many guys to pose.

I suspect he got married off and this became a distant memory. I suppose he could still be out there somewhere.

R47 those were the days when you could just disappear, I imagine that is much more difficult these days.

It always becomes a distant memory with time. We don’t stay young forever. Life moves on.

He’s got a nice basket

It appears he did a few photo shoots over a couple of years in the 1950s and then disappeared.

Which is what most of the beefcake models did. Most of them were recruited and told they’re selling physical fitness to young men. Some of them were aspiring actors etc. like Steve Reeves etc. but most were just normal young men offered $ to pose and sell “fitness”.

According to the article posted at R17 Jim allegedly did a bit of hustling:

"Future best-selling author Alan Helms arrived in New York in 1955 at the age of 18. He was, in the words of the Washington Post, “so gorgeous that jaws (and dentures) dropped when he entered a room,” and became “the most celebrated young man in all of gay New York.”

Alan originally worked as a model and actor, but he also hustled. A wealthy pharmaceutical heir enjoyed watching him have sex with other young men and paid Alan $100 a session. But one night, his intended sex partner turned out to be someone he’d often wanked over. Alan was so awestricken, the blood drained from his cock.

“I arrived one time to discover the trade of the night was Jim Stryker, the reigning sex god of Physique Pictorial, who inspired 90% of gay men’s masturbatory fantasies in those days. But I’m sorry to report that the experience was so unnerving I was unable to perform.”"

R71 none of that last paragraph is in the article

I’m here for the hairy thighs.

I'll just assume you overlooked it R72

Only one ass shot of Stryker. Did he consider it unmanly to show his ass? Was he straight?
