A 1938 issue of LIFE magazine ran this article on the controversial issue of TOPLESS MEN AT THE BEACH:
LIFE apparently did not think that all bodies were good bodies.
They also took a moment to wedgie-shame some poor dude, as well:
Although apparently if you are attractive, going topless at the beach is totally OK.
Thank goodness we now live in a world where male toplessness is fully embraced.
