$88.00

Vintage "Adonis" Male Physique Beefcake Magazine, July 1957. Quite rare to find in this condition. Cover features a beach scene with a model in a speedo. 35 cents when originally purchased.

Beefcake magazines presented as dedicated to fitness, health, and bodybuilding. However, their unstated primary purpose was erotic imagery, for gay and bisexual men and straight women, skirting mid-20th-century censorship laws which prohibited depiction of full nudity, and cultural taboos against homosexuality.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Light surface wear on corners of cover.

Size Me Up: 4 1/8” Width x 5 3/4” Height
