Interesting article. I was the unnamed proofreader when Clark Polak, the publisher of Drum, decided to print the first male frontal nudes in a magazine that was distributed through the mail. Clark was at that time the president of the Janus Society, an early "homophile" organization, and a number of the women--and some of the conservative men--in the organization resigned from the organization in protest, either because they thought it was pornographic, or they feared the authorities would find it to be pornographic, even though it was not an official publication of the Janus Society. He started with a nude photo of my partner at that time, which did not show his genitals, but then upped the ante to non-erect frontal nudes. The circulation of the magazine quickly increased. The Post Office did refuse to distribute the magazine, because they claimed it was pornographic, but a judge eventually disagreed, though the magazine ceased publication after a couple of years as slicker male photographic magazines proliferated.
