From the achingly titled “We Had Faces Then” tumblr, come these gorgeous, sexy, mesmerizing photos of men from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s.
I tell you, I am a sucker for vintage photos, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many naked photos of men from these decades. I can’t stop staring at these pics. Most of the photos from the pre-70s era showed nearly-naked men in the beefcake modesty pouches, and while a few of these do, most of them are fully naked.
Is there a word that means “a combination of ‘sexy’ and ‘nostagic?’”
Set aside an hour and check out the NSFW gallery.
Hi guys. Thanks for mentioning & linking to my blog! There’s an innocence about these pictures I find intriguing, moving, exciting. I’ve been collecting beefcake & physique photos of the 1950s & 60s for years, and I’m enjoying now having the chance to share them with others.
By the way, I’ve been following your site for a long time, too. Keep up the good work!
I’ve always loved vintage pictures. It shows how natural people looked back then before everyone turned into a fembot.
@Dusty, you’re right on the money about the feelings these pictures invoke.
