“From the cover you might think these midget mags were body-building guides. But look again – if your stomach can take it… They may call these dirty, disgusting little mags “Manorama”, “Man-ifque” or “Fizeek”.” But they could just as well call them “The Queersville Quarterly” or “The Faggot Gazette”

— “Those Boys From Queersville Are At It Again”, Vice Squad Magazine, April 1963

(Issues 7, 9, 11, 15, 18 and 20 of Fizeek are listed among the papers of Allen Ginsberg at Stanford University.)

Fizeek was a more sophisticated vintage gay muscle magazine that hid the fact is was geared for homosexual men. Fizeek is a beefcake magazine published in the era of the 1930's through the 1960's. 

The main audience of beefcake magazines was gay men. However, Beefcake magazines were designed to appear as fitness and health magazines rather than erotic magazines, because of censorship and homophobia. Typically, the models in a beefcake magazine such as Fizeek performed exercise poses in the magazine's photos, rather than explicitly being shown in sexual settings.
