It’s hard to comprehend that pornographic movie theaters were established before all-male strip shows — but that’s how it happened. In order to exploit the male form, it had to be publicly eroticized first. The 1970s, a time of great sexual revolution and exploration, made way for the proliferation of male revue shows at clubs popping up around the world at the time. All-male strip performance groups were orchestrated, showcasing the sensual splendor of the (almost) nude male form through erotic dance —cementing a place for men in a notoriously feminine profession. This glorious phenomenon paved the way for dance companies like Australia’s Thunder from Down Under, a stimulating group of buff, bronze, beautiful beaus formed in 1991. These drool-worthy Aussies are the entire package with their washboard abs, hairless appendages and sculpted glutes. Here's some of the best moments form their performance at the Aztec Theatre.
