Athletic Model Guild

Almost anyone who has known Jim Paris (or boys like him) must have yearned just once to give the thrashing they seem almost to beg for. It would probably be good for their souls.

A young warlock attempts some magic.

A fraternity pledge is forced to do a hazing ritual, dressing as a woman for a half hour in a park, only to learn that women receive a lot of harassment. A religious nut, a female pimp, a john, and finally a pushy sailor harass him. When the sailor can't take no for an answer, and follows the pledge home--he turns the tables with unexpected results.

The Athletic Model Guild (AMG) was the patriarch of "physique" photographers. In a half-century of photographing nude young men, AMG's Bob Mizer produced thousands of charming, surprisingly moralistic movies. Join us in taking a look back at this bygone era of innocent sexuality.

A mechanic with a massive tool, a cowboy who'll kill for his man, a professor with an eye for seamen, and a pair of naked thieves; these were the men of Bob Mizer's imagination. We've compiled six color films from the archives of the prolific physique photographer that exemplify his taste for manly men. When Mizer was king, all you needed was a ten-gallon-hat, a toy gun, and a throbbing member. They just don't make ‘em like they used to – but we do. During the tumultuous time between the 60s and 70s, a small, but brave, few gave birth to the fantasies of many in movie houses across the US. These films have not been seen since they debuted in adult movie houses some 40 years ago.
