has gloss | eng: Beefcake magazines were magazines published in North America in the 1930s to 1960s that featured photographs of attractive, muscular young men in athletic poses. While their primary market was gay men, until the 1960s, they were typically presented as being magazines dedicated to encouraging fitness and health: the models were often shown demonstrating exercises. Because of the conservative and homophobic social culture of the era, and because of censorship laws, gay pornography could not be sold openly. Gay men turned to beefcake magazines, which could be sold in newspaper stands, book stores and pharmacies. Beefcake magazines were often the only connection that closeted gay men had to their sexuality. Gay pornography pioneer Bob Mizer's Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, produced Physique Pictorial, the first all-nude and all-male magazine, and the film Beefcake documents his work and the growth of the Beefcake magazine industry. |

has gloss | spa: Las revistas beefcake (pastel de carne) eran un tipo de revistas que se publicaban en norte América entre los años 1930 y 1960 que mostraban fotografías de hombres jóvenes, guapos y musculosos en poses atléticas. Aunque su público principal era el gay, hasta comienzos de los 1960 se presentaban como si fueran revistas destinadas a promover el fitness y la salud, y los modelos solían mostrarse haciendo ejercicio. Esto era debido al ambiente conservador y homofóbico de la época, en el que había leyes de censura que no permitía la pornografía gay explícita. Los homosexuales recurrían a estas revistas que podían venderse en los quioscos de prensa, librerías y farmacias. Las revistas beefcake eran a menudo la única salida que podían dar a su sexualidad los hombres en el armario. |
