JIM LASSITER on the LEFT with DON WISEMAN for Bob Mizer at AMG in 1961. They made the 1961 AMG b&w short wrestling film "Don Wiseman vs. Jim Lassiter". That was before they had a fight.
They were friends when they first met, but Wiseman called JIM a name and the bond never was repaired after that. Mizer said that WISEMAN was a "Criminal and a rough little Con."

Spencer Churchill by Lon of London (William Domenique) 1955.
There are some full frontal nudes of Spencer Churchill in this thread. I think this "masked" frontal might show him partially or erect.
"One amazing image shows Spencer Churchill tensed and glistening while wearing a posing pouch that you could scratch off to reveal the goods beneath. It’s a fascinating portrait of hidden mid-century male desire in London."

Original 1955 posing pouch as sewn by Bob Mizer’s mother from the 2023 exhibition, "A Hard Man is Good to Find!" (The Photographers' Gallery, London, UK).
"There’s a little annex off to the side of the main gallery which gives an amusing history of the posing pouch. In this version of the story this skimpy little piece of fabric, barely enough to cover a man’s meat and two veg with the thinnest of fabrics going round the waist, was invented in America. It developed from the aim of American gay physique photographers to show as much of the male body as legally possible. In 1945 Bob Mizer started the Athletic Model Guild, a model agency for bodybuilders for the film industry. In 1951 he launched a quarterly magazine, Physique Pictorial. For his photoshoots Mizer developed the skimpiest possible garment which dwindled down to the posing pouch. The exhibition explains that the earliest versions were sewn for him by his mother who, nonetheless, strongly disapproved of his sexuality."

The English actor John Hamill's comfort with nudity would serve him well in his acting career.

A collection of photos of the English actor John Hamill from a session with John S. Barrington (c.1966). Hamill looks angelic as always, but the lighting and staging brings to mind a sleazy gay male burlesque theater with Hamill as a go-go boy.
