Cowboys or Gold Prospectors (from the early 20th Century?) What ever they are, the second from left, bottom row, looks like he got all the prizes.

Young Sicilian men dancing by Konrad Helbig (1917 - 1986.) He was a German photographer, art historian and archaeologist.

Man danced with men where there were no dames in the olden days. And nobody thought anything about it. Some thoughts below: A “Stag Dance” for Cowboys. It is a known fact that homosexual friendships were common among cowboys. This begs the question, in any all male community, especially in the past, such as military, religious, penal, educational, do sexual relationships form among men because no women are available, or do men seek to join such communities for the sexual opportunities? It may be both.

Cowboys, late 19th century

Rear view of four footballers from Royale Studios of London 1950/60s

Three young undergraduates from the late 19th century. I don’t know what the one sat on the floor is up to, but he seems quite pleased.

Cute! c. 1912

Bob McCune by Bruce of LA

American sailor model - nice bulge (the background looks a little like a George Platt Lynes study) ca.1940/50s

Beautiful Blond Model

Lifeguards from roughly around 90 years ago, maybe a little less.

English Sailors - South Africa, 1880/90′s

Two Sailors in Love (Kinsey Institute Art Gallery) As some of you may know this well known picture of two young sailors is only the top half of the photograph. The full picture is highly erotic, and shows both with their navy trouser fly fully open. The man on the left is big, the one on the right is HUGE. (No wonder he’s got two stripes on his sleeve) (I've never personally seen the full picture though I've searched. Does anybody have it?)
