Al Parker
This picture of Al Parker is from his long hair phase.
We'll see him again a bit later in a group shot.
Al, Casey, and Dick
Clockwise from the top we have Al Parker, Casey Donovan aka Cal Culver, and Dick Fisk.
All three died young, Al and Casey from AIDS and Dick in a 1983 auto accident.
The photo is a movie promo for The Other Side of Aspen.
Roger
Like several other 70s and 80s porn start, this guy went by one name, Roger.
This photo is from a Lancer production, and I find it quite good.
Chuck Gatlin
Take it from someone who spent a significant part of his youth doing various things in hay barns, this is not even remotely comfortable. It's prickly, itchy, and prone to insect issues. I hope Chuck Gatlin got paid well and had a fluffer standing by to help brush off the hay and pick off the bugs.

20th Century Jockstraps, Part 1 - Early On
We have a two part series and an intermission today on the topic of 20th C. jockstraps.
We start with a fellow identified only as a Texan from 1928.
Stagg
The photographer for these two photos was apparently someone named Stagg,
but I haven't been able to locate them despite several searches.
I had posted the photo below several years ago,
but only discovered the top one and the verso stamp recently.
Gladiator
The ubiquitous gladiator sandals are here yet again,
but the pose has continued down even to the present.
Intermission - Interesting Ads
Only the Germans could invent this. I wonder if it made you tingle down there?
I suppose it must have, or else what would be the point.
Yes, it was a real thing
Once upon a time there was a Trump Athletic Supporter, brought to you (of course) by Johnson & Johnson, the same folks famous for tainted talcum and overpriced pharmaceuticals.
Why was this included?
This World War II V.D. poster was included in an online sale lot where every other item had something to do with jockstraps. Gee, I hope guys weren't getting the clap from dirty jockstraps.
The fire plug is what actually makes the picture special.
20th Century Jockstraps, Part 2 - The middle part
Our second group of guys in jockstraps features some Mid-Century men,
starting with two views of one from an art instruction book.
Spillage
Although he's spilling out of his jockstrap, I don't think
this guy needs to worry too much about his weight.

Military Down Time Day
Today we look at a variety of ways 20th C. military men spent their down time,
starting with an elaborate swimming and diving platform in Finland about 1935.
Tall and Short
This is the first of two contributions from Mr. Scumbeast in today's set.
It was part of his "Barracks Room Ballads" series, subtitled "Tall and Short."
Guadalcanal
I think this is cropped from a larger picture of American troops washing
their vehicles and themselves in a shallow rover on Guadalcanal.
Gafsa
Here's another one from Eliot Elisofon's work at the Gafsa Roman Baths, 1943.
I don't know if the guy fully kitteed out is holding his friend's towel or waiting for his turn.
No info
I don't have any information for this one, but they make me think of World War II Germans.
If you look carefully, you can see military vehicles in the left background.
Truck Wash - 1944
Bernard Hoffmann took this photo of a GI washing a truck on the Ledo Road (Burma) in 1944.
I have four or five photos of this chunky guy from different angles.
British 1917
Our last photo shows British troops having a swim at Etaples near Calais in 1917 by Lt. Ernest Brooks.
