Men Sharing Clothes 3 - Striped G-Strings

My frivolous series takes it's inspiration from AMG today. These distinctive horizontal striped G-strings (or posing pouches as AMG labelled them) crop up in lots of their pictures so you have to wonder how big a supply they had - or did the boys have to share?


Jim Paris in the stripes

The stripes may look a bit naff but they are very successful at highlighting Jim Paris's packet in this shot. But it's so discreet! Without the benefit of 'zoom' in those days, our predecessors must have strained their eyes trying to see more.

Tony Gallo looking perky
Wrestling will have been the first glimpse of straining manflesh for many of us. There must have been plenty of sweating under the lights here. It's hard to make it look real but Jim Mizer knew what he wanted to show! The stripes here draw the eye like a lighthouse on a stormy night. Monte Hansen has to make do with a regulation, plain pouch. Tony Gallo looks the other way to avoid a sweaty faceful.
 
Dennis Lavia's sweaty muscle
Dennis Lavia laid out in picture 3 isn't the prettiest model but he shows a very nice body capturing a balance of muscularity and lean-ness. The rather cuter David Mineric is forcing Dennis's arm up behind his back which shows off his upper body curves and makes sure he can't escape from the pouch if he's having second thoughts.
