Loin cloths. What’s not to love about them? Not only are they sporty and fun and leave little to the imagination, but they’re super practical, keeping a guy both cool and comfortable on hot summer days. If you ask us, there needs to be a movement to bring back the loin cloth. Who’s on board?
Scroll down for vintage photos of men in loin cloths doing weird things…

I think the term is posing straps and, according to lore from the days when physique magazines were the gay adult material, some of the posing straps were drawn onto the pictures, meaning that the models were actually nude in the photographs.
There seems to be an inexhaustible supply of these kinds of photos from the Bob Mizer’s Athletic Model Guild archieves

LOL “loin cloths”
Sometimes I think I’m on Buzzfeed.
POSING STRAPS

@MarionPaige: Not only were some of them drawn on after the fact, the “cover up” was designed so as to be able to be scratched off (the original “scratch’n’sniff” so to speak).

Vintage “porn” is really interesting. It’s extremely tasteful compared to the anus and dick shots you get barraged with today.

@Captain Obvious: Tasteful is a bore. I want it so explicit that I can taste it.

The guy in the sombrero, and the guy in the cowboy hat.
Yes, please. Yes.

Is it wrong that I’m getting hard looking at that disembodied Matthew Lillard look-alike?

In olden days, gay guys had only these photos as a source of inspiration for masturbation. Some are very hot, some are not.
