Chest

Ed Dinakos kicks things off here in full Greek-god mode with that huge oiled chest, thick body hair, carved abs, and enough cleavage to make half the guys at the gym rethink their bench-press routine. 


1. Ed Dinakos - Jim French


From there we move through a lineup of classic pec-heavy studs including mustached beefcake Tex Murdock, pretty-boy movie star Steve Reeves, and old-school strongman Eugen Sandow flexing enough chest meat and washboard abs to satisfy pretty much every flavor of admirer.

3. Steve Reeves


What interests me about the male chest is how universal the attraction seems to be across genders and orientations. Like eyes, lips, asses, hair, or legs, the chest sits in that funny crossover territory where almost everybody notices it.

5. Dan Lurie - Edward Townsend


The shape is obviously different than on women, but developed pecs — especially with a little cleavage, body hair, or visible definition through a tight t-shirt — carry their own kind of sex appeal. There’s a reason so many men have an entire “chest day” at the gym.


6. Mike Bradburn - Kris Studio



7. Gene Beloff - Bob Mizer


For me personally, a great chest hits a few different levels at once: sculptural, athletic, erotic, and comforting. Shirtless always gets a double take, but honestly sometimes a fitted t-shirt is even better. 


8. Bernard Naceri (I think the photographer's shadow is in the shot lower left)



9.  Barton Horvath - 1940 - I think photo credit says courtesy of Vic Bolt but I also found a nude self-portrait he took of himself online.  Beautiful man!


And beyond all the Greek-statue fantasy stuff, a nice chest also quietly says something simpler...this guy probably gives a really good hug.


10. Jean Beels - last but definitely not least...those eyes and that chest...bring it in;)


Thoughts?

Please offer any info or thoughts on this set and men's chests.
