ABOUT THE AUTHOR / MODEL
Scott Madsen was the first Soloflex model in 1984. He was instantly famous, and his poster sold over 700,000 copies. He wrote a book, did an exercise video, made the rounds with his instant fame. He got so much gay adulation, that Soloflex replaces him two years later, trying to distance themselves from the gay base. Madsen had complained that he didn’t want to be “chased around the room by faggots”. Scott got a lot of attention during the day as the first Soloflex model.

Due to recent delivery issues with the USPS I now ship all items via Priority Mail. $100 of insurance is included in this price. I’m selling my collection of vintage 1960-1980s gay pulp paperback novels, pictorial & hardcore magazines, physique photography, magazines & artwork.
