The term “cheesecake” is synonymous with “pin-up photo or painting"”. The earliest documented print usage of this sense of “cheesecake” is in 1934 [1], predating “pin-up”, although anecdotes say the phrase was in spoken slang some 20 years earlier, originally in the phrase (said of a pretty woman) “better than cheesecake”.
These days men can be considered “pin ups” as well and there are male equivalents of attractive and sexy actors such as Brad Pitt or numerous male models. The counterpart term to “cheesecake” is “beefcake”.

Usually just "Pin Up" or "Cheesecake". Also- many of these pictures and pin up art appeared in "Pulp Fiction" magazines.
