Old Playgirl models... ...and social trends.

A question for the eldergays among us: I came across a collection of Playgirl magazines at a flea market this weekend. They were ridiculously cheap, so I bought them. They are all dated in the late 70s-mid 80s and all the men in them had huge bushes. It didn’t matter if they were muscular or trim, also regardless of hair color or skin color. Was this considered sexy back then? Was it preferable to have a lot of pubic hair? Did anyone in that period ever manscape in any way? I was very surprised.

There's trimming, there's natural and there's shaving. Personally, I like the first two, since guys look like men and not the little boys who hadn't yet reached puberty. The 70s also featured a decent amount of guys who had sported moustaches. Unfortunately the 70s also had some terrible clothes! But the pubes were great! I think they're coming back -- at some nudist bashes I 've been to, most guys trim or are natural -- just a few shaved and some have started to grow out a bit.

And then straight guys all started shaving their pubes, so the gays let theirs grow out...

It would have been considered effeminate for a man to pay that much attention to grooming his privates.

by Anonymousreply 7February 12, 2019 1:14 AM

I was a competitive swimmer back in the seventies and had to shave my pit hair and groom my privates. Was considered weird to lack a bush back then and I had to wear a swim suit when at traditionally naked places like Wreck Beach and hot springs and swimming in remote mountain lakes - otherwise I'd be considered some sort of pervert.

Around 1986 or 87 two very chatty friends of mine was so smitten with Brian Buzzini it bordered on obsession. They must've said his name aloud 5,000 times in the course of four or five months. That must be why I still remember his name.

I was shaving my scrote, taint, and any hair on my shaft by the early 80s. The leather scene gays started it or that was my first exposure to it. Playgirl back then depicted a straight (cough) sensibility so in that sense I'd say all the fuzz and fur accurately represented a het aesthetic norm. I'm sure Honcho, Blue Boy, Mandate, etc. mags from the same period have plenty of men with shaved balls.

by Anonymousreply 10February 12, 2019 3:56 AM

I loved Playgirl in the 70s and 80s. I think the magazine deliberately picked models with big bushes. It may have been considered "masculine" at the time. (Anyone remember all the straight men wearing leisure suits, shirts unbuttoned to their belly buttons, revealing thick chest hair and gold chains?) Maybe that was the model.

I am partial to big bushes and I saw lots of them in my high school locker room, my college residence hall and in my frat. I don't recall a single trimmed or shaved groin.

My frat had more of its fair share of big bushes. Were all fraternities like this? I blew seven of my frat brothers who were good-looking and had big bushes. Amazingly, none of the others found out, although who would want to admit they got a blow job from another guy?

It was easy to blow seven brothers over a period of four years. None objected to it. It didn't alter our friendships afterward. There were six of us who were gay (out of 75 brothers). It turns out I wasn't the only one offering a little oral action. There were many more brothers who allowed us, collectively, to do it.

I still don’t trim my Bush. Is it really assumed now? I find shaved pubes weird.

I also loved Playgirl in the 70s-80s. I was able to buy issues over the counter at college. I loved the men who had big bushes. I remember many of them. I also remember the men at college who also had big bushes. I couldn’t touch, but I was happy to look.

Since there is such a preference for manscaping today, I wonder if any of the models in Playgirl then were self-conscious about their bushes, while not with their cocks. Some models were completely uninhibited, legs spread wide, wide view of entire bush, cock dangling in the air. They probably jumped at the chance. Did some men wonder if “my bush is too big” when posing in Playgirl? Would you?

I don't think guys were self-conscious about bushes. Having thick pubes was actually something to be proud of, as someone told me in sleepaway camp.

Pat Dallas, one of Playgirl's original photographers, wrote a book about her adventures taking photos of naked men. While she was setting up her camera at Mathis' swimming pool, he took off his shirt, shucked his shorts and sat down on a lounge chair, full-frontal, legs wide open, waiting for her to start the shoot. He was ready for that no-holds-barred centerfold shot.

Someone talked him out of publishing the photos. Playgirl was ready to announce its most high-profile celebrity centerfold ever.

I'm really surprised he was willing to do it in the first place.

Playgirl pictorial

In this photospread, (taken during an expense paid trip to Hawaii ), the muscular and hirsute Zivkovich displayed his 6'4" 216 lb. physique—46" chest and 35" waist—in a series of shots which consistently featured full-frontal nudity. There were no erections and no rear-view shots.

Copies of the magazine quickly became something of a collector's item and even sparked brief talk of an acting career for Zivkovich. (He played a supporting role in a McMillan and Wife episode which aired on October 26, 1975.)

However, there were unfortunate ramifications. The high school in Apple Valley, California , where Zivkovich worked as a phys-ed teacher fired him, charging that his appearance in a nude centerfold showed he was not a proper role model for students. Many of these students as well as fellow teachers then came to the defense of Zivkovich who stated: "I don't see anything wrong with a nude body that is a work of art." The case went to a state appeals panel which admonished Zivkovich for a "mistake in judgment" but ruled in March 1975 that he could not be fired.

One year later, in March 1976, Zivkovich—along with a bevy of musclemen—appeared with Mae West in a CBS TV special titled "Dick Cavett's Backlot USA." Mae West's biographer, Simon Louvish, describes Zivkovich at this point as being Mae West's "frequent escort."

I think there is still a market for a Playgirl-type publication. It’s unfortunate internet publishers, which are producing full-frontal work intended to generate a profit for the company, find other websites are immediately grabbing their photos and displaying them freely, making profitability for the publishers moot.

Playboy magazine recently tried to remove nudity from its pages, and found it was a financial disaster. The nudes are now back. Similarly, elders among us will remember when Playgirl decided to remove full nudity in the magazine in the late 80s. It lasted ten months; another financial miscalculation. A model named John-Paul was proud to be the first full-frontal centerfold when the nudity returned.

Are there men willing to pose fully nude in a publication today? Gay rapper Milan Christopher posed full-frontal for Paper Magazine. Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber intentionally released full-frontal nudes to generate buzz. More actors are getting completely nude in movies and cable series. Well-known pro bodybuilders are still showing everything at “muscle worship” websites. Colt Studio is going strong. I’m sure there are reality-TV stars willing to go full-frontal to extend their notoriety after the TV shows are over, along with newly retired or Olympic athletes, pop stars who challenge conformity, Instagram and Youtube stars, the many others who are willing to share nude selfies, really anyone willing to do it for money.

Generating a publication model which protects the photo layouts from theft is the biggest challenge, even if it’s only for a specified period of time. Is there anyone out there with the resources to explore it? I would LOVE to work at such a company. I’m sure there would be a line behind me, as well.

Men did not trim their bushes or do "manscaping" in the 1970s. The 1970s were all about head hair and moustaches for men. Mostly long in the early 1970s, then in the middle of the decade perms suddenly became popular on men for a short time. The Mike Brady look. My high school yearbook is filled with guys with perms who were never seen with perms again. That faded fast and it was back to regular short hair for men by the time the 80s came around. The moustaches started disappearing as well.

Again, centerfolds from the cut rate back alleys of Prague don't sell magazines either. As I've said before, no publication was put together with less effort than Playgirl in its declining years. And it started off getting fairly respectable ads and would up with only those from Z rate porn. I may be overly optimistic, but I still think there is a place for a publication with full nudes of beautiful men, athletes in particular. They can emulate Candide and say that just women are looking at them, but everyone knows different.

Yes, r69, I liked those guys, too. Back then, every man had ungroomed pubic hair. It was always fun to wonder how big a guy's bush was, and then to find out when you hooked up if your guess was right. I was never disappointed, but pleasantly surprised when I pulled down a guy's underwear and found a thick, lush patch of hair to comb my fingers through (and to tickle my nostrils).

It seemed guys who wore glasses (hiding a beautiful face) and majored in computer science were the ones I was most surprised by. How does nearsightedness and a STEM mind equate to a generous helping of bush? It had some consistency. It was also sexy as hell.

I am enjoying these submissions from old Playgirls. I don't know how and why people would rather have a trimmed/shaved man over the guys presented on this thread, so masculine and virile. How did the human race survive centuries without groomed bushes? How did they not prevent people from enjoying sex? Now, suddenly it's an issue?

I love the tanlines on the models. You can sometimes see a picture when they are wearing a swimsuit, before you see the nudes, and wonder what anatomical tidbits are covered up and where they are located.

Or even better, you can imagine him wearing a suit at the pool and then, unexpectedly, he decides to slip it off and go back to what he was doing. The tanlines prove it isn't an event he is accustomed to.

Either way, I'm an old man who gets his jollies any way he can.

Again, Playgirl could be a sensational best seller, depending on who's in it. When they published unauthorized nude photos of Brad Pitt he screamed bloody murder and demanded they withdraw all copies. Playgirl replied the that all copies were sold out (at least they said they were). Same would not be true for Vladilas Gewasik from Prague, however.

Clifton Davis would wear shirts unbuttoned halfway down his abs on Match Game. He would move from side to side in his chair and I hoped to see a sliver (or more) of nipple in the opening of his shirt. I would watch with a full teenage erection in my jeans, just waiting for the chance to explode.

I’ll bet most of the guys posting Playgirl photos on this thread, and others positively commenting on them, are all over 50 years old, like me. Back in high school and college, I was jealous of the guys who had big bushes, and I saw a lot of them in the locker rooms and residence halls. I don’t know if they were proud or embarrassed or oblivious to have such noteworthy pubic hair. I have the impression young men today are embarrassed by having a big bush (peer pressure), hence the need to trim or shave it all away. (To think we had sex for thousands of years and few complained about pubic hair…) I think some attention seekers or exhibitionists or very proud men intentionally show off their big bushes, in the shower, at a nude beach, at a fraternity party, for the shock factor.

Do you like to show off your overgrowth of pubic hair? Are you jealous of guys who have it? Have you known guys who didn’t think twice about revealing their noticeably big bushes when they got naked? What are your thoughts?

An Italian guy in my frat had a thicket of dark brown hair down there, and he knew it. He would shower and then blow it dry. Then he wrapped a towel around his hips and tucked it at the base of his cock, so the thicket was spread out and fluffed above it. Then he'd walk around the house that way, like a strutting peacock, diffusing pheromones. It was taboo to be gay in frats back then, so I tried to act as nonchalant as I could, although it was difficult to keep my eyes above his chest. He knew what he was doing.

I was once told Christopher George was touch-in-cheek when he did the full nudes. He wanted to play with his friends and co-workers, wanting to see their reaction.

Christopher George and Jim Brown were the co-leads of a movie called "I Escaped from Devil's Island" in 1973. I read one talked the other into posing nude for Playgirl. Then they agreed both would do it. Christopher George's centerfold appeared in the June, 1974 issue. Jim Brown's followed three months later, in the September, 1974 issue. Truth or coincidence? It needs further study.

Marvelous thread. Devil's Island had the best ass shots of the greatest football player ever. I guess he was too modest to show his ass in Playgirl.

Someone from Bellingham just asked me on tinder if my body was organic. I didn’t know what he meant but he then explained that it was about your body being 100% natural: no trimming, dyeing, plucking, shaving, surgery or bleaching. I said I was about 90% organic...he unmatched me. Even fishermen, hippies and solidiers shave some parts, right?

Once Burt Reynolds and John Davidson showed pubes in Cosmopolitan, what did they have to lose? Go to Playgirl, show the rest of those pubes and what's below. Honestly, we would already know what their bits looked like.

All-American crooner John Davidson would be a coup. He could finish what Fabian started.

Wow. Batman and Robin in a centerfold. Burt Ward was well-hung and had to be fitted with a constraining jockstrap in his Robin tights. The inevitable comparisons would arrive, who had the best dick?, best bush?. best balls?, best chest?, best nipples?, best ass?...

Why, oh why didn't they give us the opportunity?

R256, Ah, Tom Jones. His TV show in the US coincided with my puberty. Perhaps this is why, to this day, I prefer hairy chests to smooth. I never thought he was particularly handsome, but that chest! He was hairy even by the standards of that hairy-chested era.

I saw a nude Lorenzo Lamas online a couple of years ago. I thought it must be photoshopped. Yet, I couldn't detect any giveaways to editing. He was young and his junk looked relatively normal. Maybe it was one of these photos.

Adam West and Burt Ward competed for attention on the Batman set. They even tried to block each other out of the view of the camera. A centerfold would have been great. I don't think the photographer would survive.

A university library may accept them as stack material on popular culture. They would be used for research purposes. Ask around.

I think today's students would be curious about how we portrayed the male body in that time period. What, not so muscular? What, pubic hair, really? What, shaggy hair covering your ears?

Pop culture is a fascinating thing to study.
