Physical Culture 1901-04 The Genesis of Prudery

Al Moore illustrates F.L. Oswald, M.D.

 

Macfadden was a huge opponent of prudishness even if much of his philosophy on sex and attitudes towards the fairer sex were pretty traditional.

 

Physical Culture often portrayed the human form in all of its naked glory, becoming one of the early targets of magazine censors. The body is beautiful and keeping sex subjects in the dark unhealthy in Macfadden's philosophy.
