I’m an accidental gay historian, sharing vintage photos I took from the 1970s onward.

Here are the first group of 4 nude male erotic photos from my collection from Provocateur Magazine (LA 1995-96).

I posted non-nude erotic shots from that publication on my Instagram today to avoid censorship. More will follow here soon. Enjoy!

Me in 1977 at 25 y.o. on then-isolated Cupecoy Beach on St. Maarten in the Caribbean.

A bisexual Canadian backpacker and I ended up having a torrid affair that week.

He took this nude shot of me, but he wouldn’t let me photograph him naked.

Here are a few photos taken by my friend, Brazilian photographer Carlos Gama Junior, and given to me by him in the 1990s. I’ll share more of his work going forward.

That’s true. I have photos with my hand in the same place as the painting.:) But, I’m not ready to share recent full frontal nudes. I may get there, but there’s no rush.:)

Ah gotcha! It’s nice to find guys who appreciate older gay men!:)

Thanks! What do you mean “like this”?:)

A couple of February’s ago at a guest house in Fort Lauderdale, I attempted to mimic the erotic art on the wall behind me.

From 1987-1998, Noite dos Leopardos (Night of the Leopards) was a legendary male strip show in Rio de Janeiro’s Galleria Alaska, attended by the likes of Madonna & Liza Minelli

Years later, I ran across this post card of a guy who’d been one of the Leopardos models I’d seen that night..

Thanks. I finally figured that out last weekend. It seems like a strange limitation to me.

Coming out in the midst of the AIDS crisis would have scared most young men from being adventurous. I’m glad my images resonate with you. Check out @bammer47 on Instagram where I feature a wider selection of not-as-act pics and the stories that go with them.:)

You never did stuff like this, even without a camera handy to record it? How old were you when you came out?

My buddy and I were fooling around in our room. I didn’t go out dressed like that, though the eventual costume I wore to a “cross-dresser’s ball” that week involved elements from this outfit.

Pics from my trip to Rio de Janeiro during Carnival in 1983. I was 30 y.o. Three photos are of me fooling around in our hotel room in Ipanema. The final shot is of me on our balcony.

Someone, please let me know if pic #1 and pic #3 are visible to you. I can only view them after clicking on them.
