While he was posing in pouches and underwear for fitness publications in the 1950s he was also getting naked and showing everything off for some other publications with a very select audience. That can’t have been easy, but I guess without the Internet it was far less likely that such a “scandal” would be exposed. Men like Vic Seipke managed to combine a mainstream professional persona while posing nude for a select few photographers, too. These are some of the earliest examples of homoerotic photography in the Western world and I feel as though it marks a turning point.
Perhaps it’s got something to do with my appreciation for art. There’s something about these vintage shoots that really does it for me and I’m not entirely sure why. You guys know I love the work of men like Jim French from way back. We haven’t seen Vic Seipke here at Gay Body Blog since March 2018, and I think we’re well overdue another look at the gorgeous hunk from back in the day.
