Men in Bed Day II

Today's series is going to be on the subject of men in bed, and it will be all over the map

in terms of content. We start with the always pleasing Mike Bradburn by Kris Studio.

Post Liberalization

I remember those wild comforters from around 1970, and although I have no information on the picture, I'm pretty sure it is from the post-liberalization deluge of frontal nude photos of that time.

Quartet

Here we have four men in what looks like two twin beds pushed together.

Mister Left's hairy chest is quite appealing.

Smoker

Smoking in bed is never a good idea. All the fur could get badly singed.

Soldier

For a little contrast to the preceding in your face photo, we have this soldier and his puppy.

Enticing

The over the shoulder look was probably meant to be enticing. It worked.

Sage Sohier

For a moment I thought the man at right might be Tennessee Williams, but the photo is from a documentary series on same sex couples by Sage Sohier from the mid-1980s.

Tan lines

Tan lines in bed? Not a bad concept, I suppose.

Quintet

And here we have five soldiers in a bed, all nice an cozy.

Note the hand placement at left.

Looking away

Our last guy is looking away from the camera.

John Barrington Quarterly Series

Another quarterly classic era physique set today, and this time it's Englishman John Barrington's turn. He was known for his shoddy photo finishing and cluttered backdrops, but today's photos

are somewhat toward the good end of the spectrum in that regard. We start with

Ricky Alboni and just a few spots and splotches.

Tibor Nosky

A smiling Tibor Nosky presents a pleasant appearance here, and although I might have

cropped it differently, the photo finishing quality is pretty good.

Unknown I

The model here is unknown, but I've seen his abdomen described as a work of art on another blog.

Unknown II

This sprawling unknown model looks so good, I don't even mind the clutter.

Vic and Roy

These two are Vic Haywood and Roy Scammell. They did a memorable photo

shoot together, and as you'll see in a bit, Vic also did some solo work.

Beresford Morris

Bryan B. sent me this fine photo of Beresford Morris.

Thanks, Bryan!

Unknown III

Our third unknown model presents a good image, both aesthetically and technically.

Unknown Duo

This image of an unknown duo looks like it was made on one of John Barrington's frequent trips to the French Riviera. Some of the models he used there also worked for Jean Ferrero.

Vic Haywood Solo

Even the washed out look (likely from overexposure) can't take away from Vic Haywood's body.

Peter Ramm

And last, but far from least, we have Peter Ramm who has a perfect stage name.

Google says he also used Rann, Ramon, and Ran as surnames.

70s Porn Stars - Ten Lesser Knowns

I have quite a collection of 1970s nude models and porn stars, and today I'm posting ten who are perhaps not among the best known. Having said that, I'm sure some of you will be thinking, "Lesser known? That guy was famous, one of my faves." Anyway, my purely subjective group of ten starts with Tony Crater, aka John Alexander, from a Target Studio publication.
