Jake The Stripper cautiously submits:

"Hand in Glove: Cover Star: unknown model photographed by Jim French, taken from Margaret Walters' book 'The Nude Male.' It caused a frisson of semi-homophobic delight even among the more earnest denizens of Rough Trade Distribution at the time." - Peepholism

"For some people, nakedness signifies liberation, a joyful and un-neurotic sexuality; for others, it stands for a licentiousness which threatens traditional moral standards. Both of these seemingly contradictory attitudes rest on a common assumption: that the exposed body is emotionally charged and potentially subversive." - Margaret Walters
