last of the little sidestep to nide and eroric modelling.
We should mention Andy Warhol as sixties pioneer here
who extensively used Joe Dallesandro as model in his art, movies and magazines:


He got international fame as actor mostly playing laidback trick, junkie or Dracula
in the Warhol produced arthouse movies Flash, Trash, Bad, directed by Paul Morrissey

or as the Lover of Jane Birkin who was sooo boyish,
she got used to gay boyfriends and could only be fucked in the ass,
but had problems with Joe's girth:

after that liberal era male nudity and eroticism krept back to its original queer niche,

until Yves Saint Laurent, fed up with prudish models,
who were uptight about posing nude, just showed how to do it himself in Vogue
only nowadays a new barrier is broken by Andrew Christian,
who even got fed up claiming his underwear was geared to queer taste and fetishes:



he rightfully argued that women buying his stuff for their guys
would easily follow and after that the metro-men
