Bob Mizer started his beefcake Physique Pictorial in 1951, and before his death in 1992 he took perhaps a million photos and made thousands of loops, films and videos, sold through the mail, the way adolescent Al Parker got his first views of naked men. The male body was pronounced non-obscene by the Supreme Court in 1965, pathing the way for Wakefield Poole with his still-magnificent and seminal work Boys in the Sand in 1971, which has liberated generations of boys, helping them to understand that their sexual arousal, inspired by the beauty of other boys, was entirely normal. J. Brian may have published the first fully-nude frontals when he had his boys drop their jocks in 1964, while director Jerry Douglas turned out masterpieces like Family Values, Kiss-Off, Trade-Off and The Back Row, with two of the most beautiful boys who have ever lived, Axel Garret and Kurt Young. The highly reclusive Matt Sterling is credited with several masterpieces of his own, his photographer John Travis best known for his discovery of Jeff Stryker with whom he lived for a year, then passing him on to Sterling.Joe Gage made films of average, ordinary working-class men, Kansas City Trucking Co., El Paso Wrecking Co. and L.A. Tool & Die, films that Quentin Tarantino said inspired him when doing the homosexual rape scene in Pulp Fiction, and Tarantino named one of his Hateful Eight Joe Gage. Today the market for gay pornography has been cornered by the genius of George Duroy, his Slavic boys uncut, their pubic bushes--the outward symbol of their masculinity--intact. The contrast between Duroy’s Bel Ami boys and those of Gage couldn’t be greater: Bel Ami’s step out of spotless and luxurious bedrooms, pools and showers, while with Gage one inhales unwashed armpits and groins.But the uncontested King of all-male eroticism is William Higgins, who has made over 150 films, many pure marvels, a genius who has a prominent place in this book.
