"When Arnold moved to England [around the time of his first Mr. Universe title in 1967], John Dixey, a British businessman and well-known aficionado of muscle boys, was very, very kind to Arnold. Arnold stayed in touch with Dixey for two years.' Asked about the relationship some years ago, Dixey confirmed that Arnold visited him in his house in Kent, and that he took Arnold sightseeing to the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and to the theatre (sounds romantic). He also met Arnold's father and his brother. You have to understand, before Arnold came on the scene, it was common currency that bodybuilders were less than macho - it was absolutely given and accepted that they supported themselves by catering to the tastes of wealthy gay men. Another of Schwarzenegger's early benefactors, was Paco Arce Gomez, a Spanish millionaire and renowned gay playboy.
