Whenever I look for an image of a specific model, or look for a specific theme from the massive Athletic Model Guild collection, I often find myself saving images of the bewitching blonde model, Gunther "Jim" Horn. Finding images of Jim was easy, these are but a drop in the bucket, but finding information about Jim proved a bit more difficult.
What I did learn was that Jim starting shooting with AMG when the models were still wearing pouching straps. After he U.S. Supreme Court declared nudity in art was not obscene, Bob Mizer quickly dropped the pouches and was among the first to feature nudity in his male physique magazine.
Not all of AGM's models were keen on dropping their pouches, in fact, many stopped modeling without the ability to continue to wear their penis protector. I'm not sure how eager Jim Horn was, but as you can tell from his images, he went with the change. Given how many full frontal shots are out there, it doesn't appear to have been a big issue for him.
Jim not only posed fully nude, but was also photographed with many other nude male models, and appeared with many in some of the studio's films. One of the films Horn is most known for, features Jim and bodybuilder Bill Grant. Check out a clip from the film and promo images form the movie on PAGE 2 HERE:
