Permission to Cum Aboard
I know some of you lads aren't wild about vintage material, but many others of you are, judging by your emails. Here is a variety of sailors from yesteryear -- some real, some imaginary. The last one is my favorite.
I dont particularly care for vintage stuff... but these are interesting. ... I wonder what these guys look like now? Its scary isnt it . . one minute such a hot lad of 21 and then turn the page and your an old man not so hot . . . time sure does go by fast. . as my mom always told me. . . and she was right. One minute you are a hot stud as these guys above were and the next well, they are old men now as time goes by all too quickly. :)
(Probable) real sailor in photo #3 was smashingly handsome. I'm guessing that was taken in the early '40s? I wonder what / who he was smiling at? - Montana Cowboy
#2, Dick DuBois, was Mr. America '54 (6'1" -220#), Mr. USA '57. (It's worth it to check him out, see his pix on classicbodybuilders.com) He was handsome & sweet looking. I had a crush on him at 13. There was a rumor/story about him that he was into gay sex - until his future wife set him "straight". With Steve Reeves (as handsome & hunky as they got back then!), DuBois's in the movie "Athena" (1954) starring Jane Powell as the daughter of a health guru (people interested in bbldg, health foods, vegetarianism, etc. were considered quirky back then); English actor Edmund Purdom, most probably who was gay himself, plays the boyfriend of Jane, & gets to knockout Reeves - to show how a 'normal' guy can best a bb health 'nut'! (a pic from that scene is on the site I mentioned) DuBois became a preacher; he died at least 10? yrs ago. If I could go back in time, re-arrange my atoms (LOL)I'm sure I could have convinced him to stay 'gay'!
This blog is a celebration of masculinity, a tribute to the gods who walk amongst us. They are typically gorgeous, haughty, unapproachable, sometimes arrogant, and often unfortunately straight. They know we are watching them, but they usually ignore us. When they grace us with a smile, a slight nod, a word or two, we are exalted to be in their presence.

Thanks for this set. Myself, I like the vintage pics.
