You Spin Me LA 1993 35mm Ektachrome Film

This image is another from my photographic collection which offers a rare glimpse into the queer expression of the 1990s, during a period marked by the AIDS crisis and the commercialization of male erotica.

At the time, AIDS was a pervasive threat to the gay community, and the erotic images of the queer erotic magazines provided a form of escapism and empowerment for their readers. The photographs showcase the beauty and strength of the male form, celebrating homosexuality at a time when it was often stigmatized.

These images highlights the commercialization of male erotica, which had only recently begun to be accepted and normalized in mainstream society. By showcasing these photographs, we can examine the shifts in societal attitudes towards male sexuality over the past few decades.
