'True Adventures for Bold Men'?

I have no idea what the 'Gallery of Queer Nudes' prominently listed on the cover of this September 1958 issue of Man's Illustrated is about.  At face value it would seem to play into the homoerotic sub text inherent in the men's magazine genre, ('True Adventures for Bold Men' - 'bold' because they embraced their true sexual orientation?).  I do, however, know that Maxwell Bodenheim, to whom it is attributed, was a writer and poet during the 'Jazz Age' who became known as the 'King of Greenwich Village Bohemians'.  So, I'm guessing that the 'Queer Nudes' business has something to do with his chronicles of life in Greenwich Village, (rather reinforced by the fact that it is, apparently, part three of 'Love Life in Greenwich Village').  Interestingly, after his literary success had faded, Bodenheim and hos second wife became beggars, living on the street.  Eventually, in 1954, they were murdered by a down and out working as a dishwasher in a flophouse.  The dishwasher was subsequently judged to be insane.  

While Bodenheim might not, perhaps, be the sort of writer you'd expect to see in the pages of a man's magazine, the rest of the mix seems to par for the course for this type of publication.  Man's man Ernest Hemingway gets an interview, while the 'Bad Girls' genre much beloved of these magazines is represented by 'Zip Gun Girl'.  'What You Should Know About Sex Stimulants' speaks for itself with its promise of salacious stories of sexual misconduct disguised as serious investigation, while 'Jobs for Adventurers' promises to be another of those articles feeding the fantasies of the typical adolescent male reader who doubtless dreamed of being the sort of rugged, gun-toting, he-man pictured on the cover.  All the 'jobs' undoubtedly involved going into jungles, deserts or arctic wastes in search of oil, diamonds, gold, lost cities and the like, while running the gamut of angry cannibals, head hunters, polar bears etc.  Opportunities for rescuing nubile women threatened by the aforementioned are probably also pat of the job description.
