Mike S. or Arlington, Texas requested a jockstrap series, and I am happy to oblige.
We start the show with one of those wide banded early 20th Century types.

Joe Vitole
Joe Vitole of Brooklyn, New York could lift 475 pounds with his teeth.
I don't think I've ever seen another strap quite like that.
Seek, and ye shall find
Those of you who've followed this blog know how often I've wished for a better copy of a particular photo or photos. In the case of the photo above, I was able to find better versions of both, probably because no male frontal nudity was involved. Anyway, the ones below are clearer.
Our model was Anton Matysek and he made the cover of a Milo Bar-Bell Co. publication.
The photo below is clearer yet and is probably from the original negative.

The Artistry of Bruce of LA
For our quarterly Bruce of LA feature, we will be looking at some
of Bruce Bellas' more artistic efforts, starting with Dick Dene and a rope.
Unknown
A collector from Paris placed an original print of this
unknown Bruce model in an online auction.
Bruce Schorb
This is Bruce Schorb, and the photo was used to promote a set of color slides. I suppose that given the fact that nearly all of the physique magazines had very limited color, Bruce Bellas chose a good black and white photo for the ad. And what a good one it was!
Martin Adams
Closing as we started, with a model pulling on a rope.
This time our man is Martin Adams.

Popular Nudist
Today I'm doing an unusual series. I've done a lot of single model picture sets when it comes to physique photography, but today I'm presenting a young man who appeared multiple times in several nudist magazines of the mid-1960s. We don't know his name, but as you will see, he happily appeared in photos naked in a variety of settings. In our first shot he is wearing a necklace holding token indicative of the many activities he participated in.
Scumbeast Introduction
My introduction to this charming young man came from my late friend, Ken Suffolk, aka Mr. Scumbeast. He sent this photo to me way back in 2012 with one of his catchy captions:
"It is, of course, most important to have the appropriate decorations."
Helping hands
Here he's getting a helping hand in the shower from two females.
He seemed to attract a lot of those.
Helping out
This is one of several photos in which our young man is helping out with organizing events.
Volleyball
I cropped our final image from a bigger one showing our hero engaged in the ultimate nudist sport, volleyball. Trust me, you probably wouldn't want to see the females on his team.
