Dave Draper on the Monkees

Dave started it all for me, my first muscle crush, from when I was 6, watching him doff his shirt and pose on a ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ rerun. Discovering comics then, I soon found a particular Weider ad that added fuel to my nascent muscle lust, an inside-cover one depicting Dave's flexed bicep above those of 4 other musclemen. I somehow sensed that my fascination was best kept secret. I didn’t see this 'Monkees' episode until my teens, but I did catch ‘Don’t Make Waves’ every chance I could.

0:35 Getting playfully bullied by Dave Draper? Dream come true.

I thought he was hot back then. He also appeared on The Beverly HIllbillies as well. It's unfortunate that he had issues with substance abuse. I've seen recent pictures of him and he's about 75 +/- and still looks reasonably good. Do a google search of him and judge for your self.

The stereotypes of bodybuilders.

Most of them wore tight briefs made of Lastex, the forerunner to spandex. The shorts Draper is wearing were what everyone wore...they just didn't look as hot as Draper.

The first muscleman I jacked off to when I learned to jack off.

i remember that watching as kid and getting aroused about by it

WOW! That's awesome! Man, did all musclemen in the 60s wear such short, tight, shorts?!?
