In The Shower 

 "I'd better remember to get myself a new razor blade 

and not leave my wet shorts to go mouldy in my sports bag again."

The New Kit
 
 "It's no good, mate, we're Australians, yeller shorts are for poufs."

 

Scrum Practice

"I hate being Hooker, in the middle of the front row,
 it'll be wandering hands any minute now."

  

 

The New Boy

Muscle in Rugby Shorts 2

 What's a diuretic, Boss? Is it like an energy drink?

 Keep looking lads, the shirts must be somewhere round here.

It's kick-off in five minutes!

 Shane's been in with the boss for fifteen minutes now.

I got a bad feeling about this debrief, fellas. 

You're feeling bad? I'm bursting, mate!

He never notices me!

Thanks to Footyboys for the fab pictures

Is Nick My New Gardener?

Mitchell - Dishonest Gardener in colour

 Having discharged my last dishonest gardener (above),

 I've decided to hold auditions sorry interviews for his replacement 

and I just happened to notice this picture in Nick Sterling's CV 

whilst preparing my last blog on men sharing swimming trunks. 

Nick Sterling in cut-offs

Cut-off denim jeans are not a prerequisite for my job but they certainly help!
These days it's a rare delicacy to see tatters of cotton tumbling over a man's thighs.

 

Nick seems to have the right qualifications for the job. Those dreadful shades will have to go of course, he won't need them in England anyway. I do sense a regrettable degree of self importance here, but I like a confident man working for me and any issues can be sorted out with him in the garden shed if need be. Frankly, I'd put up with a lot of backchat in the presence of those thighs! Nick's open flies suggest a willingness to please but I'll have to instruct him not to approach Mrs Chamberlain, my housekeeper, like that.

Nick's currently working as yacht crew.
 He's obviously not afraid of hard work
and familiarity with ropes and rigging is a bonus. 

 

I can just see him hosing down the patio......

 

Or weeding my herbaceous borders like this.......

 

A winning smile 

and even if he proves as unsatisfactory as the last one (God forbid!), 

then I can still see his nicely tapered torso binding up very well.

for his formal 'discharge' procedure.

Men Sharing Clothes - 12 Blue Swimming Trunks

Looking back over this series I'm amazed to find that I've not featured men swapping swimming trunks before. Men in Speedos are well up the sexy league table, the briefest of all sportswear to be seen on TV and often showing pert little projections through gleaming fabric. Men get wet wearing them too which gives them a particularly intimate nature.

 

 

The garment featured here on Adam Rexx is a sensible design and at first sight they look like an unlikely beefcake combination.

 

However, Adam and his trunks reveal their true erotic qualities in this shot. This glamour pose used to be the norm for women in soft porn photography and Adam's long shapely legs reveal just why it held such a fascination for men. The cut of the swimming trunks reveals an astonishing amount of very sexy buttock and if you think this pose conceals a man's primary asset look again at this picture (click to enlarge) and the next! Sometimes less is more!

 

In this shot Adam's gleaming torso suggests those trunks are getting well used, ready for the next model. As he eases them down it's amazing the difference an inch or two makes. The bright highlight running down the side of his body seems to pass underneath the trunks before continuing along the top of his thigh and this gives a tremendous sexy sense of the naked body under the garment.

 

The speedos now pass to an altogether different man, Nick Sterling is more fleshy and cuddly. The trunks seem to suit him well but sadly they are quickly discarded for other gear including some distinctly unsexy baggy plaid shorts. Perhaps Nick didn't like sharing with Adam?

I fancy the same pose in those blue trunks would look very sexy too! But I can't complain about this shot, who's next for the used jocks?

Bar Predators Revisited

Bar Predators by Tom
(completed by Mitchell)

This is my visualisation of how Tom might have finished the incomplete picture in the Bar Predator's series. I've followed his composition as exactly as I can and tried to emulate his shading style.

Priapus of Milet - 4 (last)

11

Centaur 08

It would be wrong to give the impression that Priapus always portrays men as mere playthings of other worldly creatures, the recipients of their desires. Centaurs, angels and robots alike are liable to take their turn to submit to being probed in a joyous celebration of unconventional lust and the triumph of the gay male spirit over the strongest of all comers. This is exemplified by this encounter where our muscular hero has cornered the Centaur on a rocky crag in it's own natural habitat (as imagined by an old master) and rather than slaying it, simply plunders it's mighty buttocks to demonstrate his superiority. However, this homo-erotic recasting of the ancient myth is something of a double edged sword, showing heroic endeavour coupled with ruthless, untrammelled lust. Erotic but disturbing.

Close Encounter 01

It's really all about men. In this picture there are aliens but they are a distant threat (or possibly observers). The stereotypical, muscular top, square-jawed and stubbled, oozes with sweat and earthy masculinity and blissfully wallows in the pleasure of penetration seemingly unaware of the aliens or his partner for that matter! The equally stereotypical bottom, more aesthetic-looking and slender-limbed, seems equally distracted, reclining artfully with a cool, serious look outwards towards us. Only his curling toes reveal an erotic response to his partner's substantial presence inside him. Is this proud defiance in the face of the enemy (alien or otherwise)?

This acrobatic pose is probably beyond most of us but successfully portrays the elegant curves of the male body and the inherent beauty of man on man sex, beyond mere animal excitement.

Flowing through Priapus's pictures is a love of men and a sense of sex as an important moment, adventurous, full of portent and sometimes slightly scary. He shows gay men as confident, sensual and sometimes bored but not fearful Our heroes, prime specimens of manhood, come face to face with creatures (fictional, mythical and extinct) whose great strength and size is matched by their fearsome appearance and sexual appetite, but they meet that challenge with bravery and inquisitive confidence

There's a lightness of touch, gentleness and humour that is quite uplifting. His dreamlike images blurring the boundary between reality and artistic representation not only idealise masculine love but make wider statements about the essence of sex and erotic feeling and as such seem to me to have a significance that goes beyond sexy attractiveness.

Adjustment Bureau 02

Sadly Priapus' blog (referenced on the images I have shown) has gone, but you can still see a substantial archive of his work at Telemachus12. In fact I understand that the collection is currently being extended with a number of new galleries. 
. 

In sections of this site Priapus demonstrates how he assembles his actors from ingredients culled from real modern porn stars. Models acquire muscular bodies of perfect proportions and sexual organs which are always impressively large and erect without being ridiculous. He's like a latter day Baron Frankenstein, plundering the archives of porn to create his own beings, thereby achieving not only the feat of bringing a new life into existence but investing it with striking beauty too. The fact that the actors in these fanciful erotic dramas have recognisable faces adds a frisson extra spice for the viewer.
.

I am reminded of the work of Baron and Borg who also create imaginary scenes with assemblies of people, artifacts and settings. Their results are astonishingly life-like tableaux of men in captivity, suffering pain and torment. Priapus doesn't go down that path but his manipulation of characters to perform for erotic effect has inherent undertones of domination and series titles like 'Temple of Doom' hint at dramas that the images don't quite express. There is a niggling feeling of the artist groping towards something darker and deeper but we can only wonder what has been left unsaid.
