If you look at individual accessories, poses and the bodies of the men photographed in classic nude photography, you quickly come to the conclusion that a certain form of hypermasculinity is almost always reproduced. Today we see underwear from the 50s and 60s, which at the beginning of the 00s was the epitome of the uncool and social decline. Signs from sport are often incorporated - here too often retro and not cool until a few years ago. There are also axes and other symbols that refer to physical labor.
