December 1975

Jeramiah Shastid

The year was 1975 and Playgirl magazine had selected Jeramiah as their December centerfold to close out the year.    Back then, this very hairy chested gent was described as being a "male go-go dancer."  Back then, a naked man with body hair was the expectation instead of the exception.  Perhaps swimmers and body builders shaved their chests and dicks, but the majority of everyday guys were still naturally hairy in those areas. 

 

This holiday issue was jam-packed with useful stuff, like an article titled "Vibrators: Everything you must know" and Hollywood's Newest Sex Star--Roger Daltrey.  But it was the side burned and very furry physique of Jeramiah that most buyers thumbed to look at first.  According to the story that went along with the pictures, a friend of Jeramiah and himself began traveling around the country at the end of 1974. He added "What you have to do is put on a show that touches on sex and includes comedy-a whole theatrical routine." 

Back then, Jeramiah noted that he saw the lid coming off feminine repression.  "Oh yes, this is only touching on it."
