Vintage "Body Beautiful" Male Physique Beefcake Magazine, February Issue, 1950s. Quite rare to find in this condition. Cover features a outdoor scene with a model in a thong. 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
