This doc recounts the story of Alan B. Stone who, in the 1950s and 60s, took pictures of lads like the one below and ran a thriving subscription service from the basement of his aunt's home in Montreal selling pictures to repressed gay guys everywhere. These 'beefcake' pictures (as they were called) were the porn of that time before Playgirl, et al came into being. Interestingly, it was only when Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau declared in 1967 that the government would no longer have a role in the bedrooms of Canadians that the full frontal porn we know of today took off. So, lads, you have the Liberals and Trudeau to thank for those pictures you look at on-line (well, the Canadian ones at least).
My rating 4 out of 10.
