Back during WWII, Cannon towel use was apparently comparable to that in a porn film.
Check out this amazing ad about how the military boys in the South Pacific had been shipped
towels to wipe off with, and see if you wouldn't have minded a petite grab of their Cannons.

Now that you've finally cleaned off after yesterday's post showing a sexy, sinewy ad for
Cannon towels from WWII, let me get you all moist and towel-ready again.

Here are two more ads from the same series--one swishy and the other squirty.
Enjoy--then grab your Cannon.

John, you might enjoy this bio-blog I wrote about J.C. Leyendecker who raised homoerotic images in advertising to an art form...LOL

https://historicromance.wordpress.com/2010/07/25/in-honor-of-j-c-leyendecker/

Here's another one of his pictures that I quite enjoy:

Communal bathing was quite common back in the day. Nothing homoerotic about that all. Same goes for the coach and the baseball player. I see camaraderie there. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, an sometimes a frankfurter is just a frankfurter.

This Marco Villa guy needs to get his mind out of the gutter.
