Hunk Hunt - Jase Dean 4 (True Male)


When it come to asserting masculine credentials, the Fireman seems to be one of the few professions still revered in homoerotic iconography. Construction Workers, Cops, Sailors, Soldiers and Bikers, don't seem to cut it any more. Maybe that popularity is because Fire Fighters also appeal to women, they like the connotations of rescue.
(well I wouldn't refuse help if he arrived looking like this!)

In this picture by Simon Barnes, the sweaty musculature, drooping waistline (precariously sustained by a single, long strap) and shaved lower abdomen leave little doubt that Jase is up for being ogled.


This image by ASN recreates the famous, much copied, beefcake photo of 'Fred with Tires' by Herb Ritts, which adorned a million bedroom walls back in the 80's. It's a ringing proclamation of earthy manhood but the change of venue, from anonymous workshop (in Ritt's picture) to a whizzy Motor Sport set-up for Jase, adds a touch of modern glamour. The exposed underpants are also a modern finesse (click picture to enlarge, as usual, if you can't see). Jase's tyres are wider than Fred's and pay testament to his strength, but they conspire to produce a less elegant pose. 

 

This image is much more effective.
Arguably the best of these 'workman' shots, it's certainly the sexiest.
Jase adds his own brand of youthful 'come on' that includes
 scratching his head as though wondering why anyone would bother .

The blacksmith is another reliable shoe-in for muscular strength and partial nudity and he would probably be another homoerotic icon in his own right if the trade was more visible today. They still pop up in fantasy movies fairly regularly, I featured 'Thor' at my gateway blog some years ago and more recently Blacksmiths have turned up in my articles on BrosFate and Homoeros.

The role seems to fit Jase like a glove (which he isn't wearing unfortunately)
The leather apron seems to have morphed into a something resembling chaps,
but ones with a willful mind of their own. The sexily low-slung belt does not dispel this disordered impression, but it makes a great picture!
I've not ID'd the studio yet.


 Meanwhile, back at the deserted factory,
Jase is wrestling with the eternal temptation to slip off his slip.
As we saw in the last post, earthy Industrial surroundings
seem to trigger that desire in him.


Jase slips off his underpants down, but only as far as his thighs,
which is actually sexier than simply kicking them off, ask a stripper!

One of the less appealing facets of this type of arty photography is that the model is expected to expose his bare bottom to damp, cold, dirty factory floors and walls (amongst other trials, like sitting in cold baths and tepid showers to prevent steam).

I imagine some photographers delight
in inflicting such discomforts on attractive models.
Jase looks as if he's wondering about that too
and that story about having to keep the underwear clean.


Whatever the reason Jase decides to get back on his feet
to grasp the nettle handle and boldly reveal all, well almost.
There's a charming mix of coy daring and inner modesty
in this crouched position, just below the level of the window.
The non-commital facial expression, seems to await a reaction.

In this pose his thighs obscure more controversial regions,
but I can't say I feel cheated, quite the reverse,
those generous, meaty haunches
 are a marvellous, erotically-charged sight.


Praising the worker as a naked hero is not new, it comes from Victorian times
and survived the corrupt magnifications of the Soviet and Nazi eras.
It plays a more decorative role in our aspirational modern culture
where physical labour is mostly applied to pens and keyboards.

I don't know for sure if this picture comes from the same shoot but it's a nice fit.
For some reason it seems to bring out the model's nudity rather than his muscularity which is the opposite of what you might expect but seems at one with the  unassuming and slightly equivocal strip-down that preceded it.

In fact Jase's playful side seems to have resurfaced here,
it looks like he's hiding behind that mighty wheel, rather than heaving it.


After all those exertions in messy places a long hot shower is called for.
Actually, if a photographer's around it probably won't be hot,
But Jase seems to take that in his inscrutable stride.


There is something of an enigma about this model and this unusual image
seems to have captured two sides of Jase by some spooky, supernatural process.
One a man with doubts and uncertainties, his mirror image calm and optimistic.
If Jase's chunky thighs didn't grab you, this flash of vulnerability should.


But I'll stick with the thighs for now,
the strong man is back to grace this image, wearing chunky boots 
that maintain a tenuous link with our 'working man' theme.

This picture restates the prohibition on frontal nudity 
but, as with the drawn-down vest in the last article, 
the curtaining shirt tail switches our attention 
to the outer thighs which look absolutely massive. 
Jase's cupped hand provides an extra tease.

That humble shirt is also working to highlight his bicep muscles and contributes to the framing of an impressively thick neck. Some may not like bulkiness like this but I do and David Vance has brought it out in a pleasing way where others have failed.


Providing a matching pair (so to speak), this rear view provides the perfect complement and that shirt tail is working hard again to showcase a most perfect set of buns. The check pattern seems to add a sense of upper body bulk which eluded the photographer of 'The Wheel' above although we can all see it's all there in other pictures. The shirt also seems to draw out the boyishness in the  model's face.
No one will ever love you as much as that shirt does, Jase.


Except, possibly, David Vance who sees him here as a reclining, god-like figure,
Perfect beauty , unselfconscious, lazily dreaming as the world whirls by.


Or perhaps, in this surreal fantasy
 as one who stands at, or crawls toward the threshhold of deity.
Emerging from the shadows with buns that make you cry with pleasure.
Make the most of that sphere, it's the only ball Jase will let you see.
(But I do love sticky-out ears!)


And yet a man is just a man and this simple 'academic' pose is ages old
It might have sprung from the hand of da Vinci,
and the sober colours from the brush of Rembrandt.


The same line of classical thought seems to have occured at Snooty Fox,
Perching Jase on a pedestal as a modern  version of 'The Thinker'

Jase supplies a slightly irreverent interpretation of the role,
proffering the hint of a smile and seemingly poised to leap off
before long in search of more interesting pursuits.


Even lounging at the beach, Jase can summon up a myserious aura, 
those piercing blue eyes would make anyone quiver,
but if I'm honest, it's his 'sunny side up' that really mesmerises me.
It's shallow I know.  


So you won't be surprised by this late entry from the poolside.
   It shows, somewhat unexpectedly, an elegantly lean physique
topping off those sturdy thighs and chunky buttocks
and proving the wheel photographer wasn't so wide of the mark.

Jase is a remarkably attractive man,
But I wish he didn't look so worried!


When I'm looking for 'hunk hunt' images, especially with muscular subjects, I can usually find ones featuring objects with fetish connections, like big chains or leather garb or rope at the very least, but this is all I can find for Jase..

The rope is casually curled around Jase's torso,
but with that cap he manages to make it look just like
 a bit of sailing paraphenalia , which is probably exactly what it is.
Even I can't detect a darker message, faced with those flirty pursed lips.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tribute to Jase Dean.
For avoidance of doubt, I don't know Jase and I haven't haunted his social media to compile this article. The views and musings in it are purely my own based on the imagery presented here and are not claimed to be factual statements about him.

I seek only to entertain and pay tribute to a beautiful man with an interesting personality that shows through his fascinating and inspiring portfolio.

Hunk Hunt - Jase Dean 3 (Revealing Underwear)

Photo by DeadGoodUndies
Jase Dean makes his living modelling underwear
(What would Oscar Wilde have made of that phenomenon?)
But he looks a trifle discomforted here.

I feel the same way when I put on compression shorts like these
The waist always feels awkwardly low and the tight legs,
whilst a pleasant enough sensation in themselves,
always seem determined to pull the darn thing even lower.


He seems even more worried posing in these skimpy wonders.
Another low-slung clingy fit that must feel as sexy to wear as it is to view,
But the revealing fabric may have been more transparent than expected,
Jase doesn't usually show all for pay.


His expression here is more inscrutable, but the pants aren't.
The hands on the head seem to be signalling a combination of
'Hey, let's chill' (his left hand) and 'OMG! What have  I got myself into?' (right)

Interestingly the alignment of Jase's manhood and garment's centre seam
are almost identical in these last two pictures, i.e. very intimate.
Seam and Dick, not especially comfortable travelling companions, I'd have thought.

If I were the photographer, I'd have wanted to position the items myself.
But I don't suppose he'd have let me!



He looks a lot more comfortable in this, more conventional, white underwear.
This is classic men's attire, a wardrobe staple, just like the little, black dress for ladies.
 But Jase turns these humble underpants into a remarkable statement
adding a pleasant erotic tang by simulating undressing.

This photo and that below are both by Gilles Crofta


The jockstrap is an equally all-male concept
and it too is usually white, strictly functional wear for athletic endeavours.
A red one might be regarded as suspiciously flamboyant by the local rugger team.

The playful side of Jase is rarely absent from his work for long
and his plucking of the butt strap fits perfectly with the wacky, extrovert colour.
It's also a sexy reminder that this garment is open at the back,
so this play might also cause some uneasiness in butch dressing rooms.


Those sportsmen probably wouldn't even class this as underwear,
But the thought that they might look as good as this in a pair
might prompt a few secret, yearnings to aquire some.

Jase carries off this overtly sensual garment, out in the open, with aplomb.
The chevron of crease lines either side of the pouch accentuate it's bulk.
I don't imagine the model objects to that.
Would that I could find a gardener like this!


Or a pool boy like this!
Especially one that does nights.


In the cold light of day, the damp trunks still testify to that midnight dip
Jase has got that worried look again and is backed up against the fence.
but it's one with some dubiously-shaped decorations.
(and, btw, have you noticed where the centre seam is? Ouch!)

I mentioned the 'shock' of pink on a man in the last post
and even in this enlightened age it's a slightly disturbing effect.
I can't exactly identify why. Suggestions please!

 Photo: DeadGoodUndies

It seems that happiness is a pair of undies with built-in cock sheath,
some butch colours and random patterning that camoflages the details.
The slinky side straps give good thigh shaping for a man with great thighs .
In fact, Jase's whole body looks great.

Photo: Paul Dedona
For me, these are his most interesting undies in design terms.
Regulars will know I have a bit of a thing about shorts,
especially ones that combine vertical brevity with a fly opening.
It's a throw back to rugby adulations in my youth.
I don't recall those wearers achieving such prominence though.

Photo: Gilles Crofta
 In a similar, off the wall, vaguely sporting vein.
Why does a man always look sexy wearing a medal?

I suppose it's the implied fitness and athletic prowess.
But Jase seems to be connecting it with prowess of another kind.
I'm not sure the polka dots send a consistent signal
although blues are great colours for men.

I love these low waisted, square cut underpants which elongate the lower torso
and possibly explain why Jase shaves his bikini line so low.
The leg lines show off his thigh development deliciously,
without seeming to interrupt the continuity of unclothed body.

The more conventional, chunky style of brief below
seems to work in the opposite way......

Grey makes a sensual, earthy and manly contrast to frivolous, polka dots.
This garment seems to add bulk where the 'toot' briefs are dramaticaly slimming.
Both outcomes are attractive, what a versatile man this is!

We've seen in several of these images that Jase is not averse to showing us outlines of his Propagator kit. That inclination to reveal a great deal, but not quite all, also manifests itself in shots where he seems to be about to ditch his pants altogether.

Maybe he's a committed nudist in private and uncomfortable in clothes.
His playful personality suggests it's more likely to be just a teasing tendancy.


If so, this is heavy duty, heavy breathing, teasing.
Does this really sell underpants to men?

Lowering your underpants in a dingy back alley is an exciting way
to express your individuality and rebelliousness against life's constraints.
It's also a good way to get arrested.

Photo by Snooty Fox

He's using more discretion slipping off in this industrial facility of uncertain purpose.
But it's an odd place to get itchy pants, unless desiring intimacy with a metal grid.
The discomfort of preserving modesty this way ranks alongside the sleight of hand and towel shuffling required to change into swimming trunks on a public beach.

I'm tempted to connect this image with my milking factory series,
imagining our hero preparing to join the line, hook up and do his bit.
There'd be no need for such modesty though, everyone is naked in that set up
- apart from drain tubes and stimulatory equipment, that is.

Machines and men make an erotic combination,
Jase gets more industrial exposure in Part 4.


There's also a lot of metal in this image by Luis Rafael,
but the paint splashes and grafitti conjure up inner city decay and disorder,
rather than the cold emptyness and decay of abandoned machinery
Another dangerous environment for shedding underwear.

 Jase is halfway out of his pants in this group of images
and his 'lifted bottom' pose just above seems to suggest
the surrender of his underwear to invisible pulling  hands.
Men eager to acquire them as a souvenir perhaps,
Or unable to afford such decadent fripperies for themselves
in this deprived part of town

In the last part of this series, Jase gets naked and explores his masculinity,
But you still don't get to see his bits, sorry!

Hunk Hunt - Jase Dean 2 (Revealing Qualities)

My 'hunk hunt' for Jase Dean began last December, when I gave him a starring role
 in my post entitled 'Funny Things Happen At Christmas'


Jase has a regular guy look about him with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
His shortened name has a laddish air about it.

As a model it's his job to make clothes look good
 but Jase transforms these very ordinary underpants into sexy apparel
this model has a very subtle but powerful masculinity.
His body has a delicious, toffee tone in this photo.


I'm not sure this casual wear suits him that well
 but it does contrive to make him look accessible and appealing.
The tight fitting pants and tee shirt certainly make you look at him
 and I love the crease lines that radiate from under the arms,
revealing  the shaping of his shoulders, pecs and pert nipples.


Jase has actually got a very well developed physique with great arms
and a ruggedly handsome face well portrayed in this shot by Simon Barnes.
The higher neckline makes this Tee shirt work better on him.


It takes a special quality to look good in a suit as well as casual wear.
Dean's artfully 'untamed' hair contrasts nicely with the formality of the clothing. 
It's the 'uniform effect' - the tension between conforming and showing individuality
Gilles Crofta allows his playfulness full rein but he still looks very presentable.


A man undressing always looks sexy, but a man putting on clothes can look good too!
This informal shot by Neil Bowler catches a touch of 'Beckham' in Jase's face.

The look of serious concentration as he sorts out his tie
 and the 'fresh out of the packet', un-ironed shirt
suggest a sort of awkward mannishness that is charming and seductive.

There's also an air of trepidation here, making it an apt publicity picture
 for Neil Bowler's a wedding photography business.
(Don't do it Jase!)


I don't think this picture was intended to sell shirts or wedding photographs!
 Maybe it's the best man, taking time out from some energetic dancing at the Reception,
in order to give the nervous Bridegroom some tips for 'later on'.

Torsos emerging from open shirts always attract my interest,
 but Jase's softly rounded physique takes the breath away here.
The crafty oiling accentuates his contours of course.
But the lady in his life won't be too pleased when she gets it to wash.


This image reveals the full glory of Jase Dean's physique at competition standard
and you can see how proud he is of his achievement and rightly so.

Magnificent as it is, his body doesn't quite overcome the formidable challenge
 of making tracksuit bottoms look stylish or sexy.
However there is a nice little bump showing
 and the low, shaved waistline is very raunchy.

Jase's hair is much too nice to hide with a cap.
But wow, what a body!


Jase is so good at making ordinary clothes look sexy that I was keen to see how he would fare with traditional pocket front underwear, which these days means Calvins. These can easily degenerate into bagginess but Jase fills them out nicely, presenting a teasing pouch profile.

I can't tell if they are blue or just tinted by the water reflection. At one time pale blue briefs with white seams were the height of masculine daring. Pale blue shirts at the office were a threat to world order (and as for pink? Well!).

Considering this photo is by the great David Vance I'm surprised how awkward Jase looks.
He's obviously struggling with the sun in his eyes but there's none of the fluidity or relaxation you would expect in a poolside pose. But it does capture an appealing vulnerability.

 Jase showed a similar hint of goodies within in the Buccaneer picture of my Xmas post), there are more to come in later posts plus a number of pictures where he's deliciously naked, but I've not yet seen one where he reveals his pride and joy in the flesh.


Of course, not showing it is fine and a cover-up can look more sexy sometimes.
The expanse of bare thigh Jase is showing at the right here is plenty for me.
If the vest is wet, this is a actually a very good way of highlighting said feature.
This one isn't wet.


Phew! In the A-Z of sexuality 'Z' is for zip, preferably open.
The cocked head and challenging eyes seem to say "Come and get it!"
 Jase obviously doesn't mind being a sexual object, good for him!

Simon Barnes has caught some nice nipple and abs definition here, 
the 'almost there' trouser sag is more erotic than full nudity would be.
Those streams of condensation (?) on the walls are hardly needed
Jase conjures up a steamy atmosphere without need of assistance.


You can debate what you're actually seeing here,
but this is about far as you can go with teasing.

Possibly more interesting is the Revelation (!) that the model
shaves those bits below the waistline that can't normally be seen
 and his 'treasure trail' peters out well short of it's normal destination.

I know bodybuilders shave for competitions but do they go down as far as this?

A Hero Dragged to his Fate

Ehrlik - Sacrifice

A magnificent specimen of a man is dragged to the sacrificial altar.
There's a raw casual brutality to this image that's both chilling and exciting.
The mechanics don't bear too close an examination but it's a great concept.

Milking Factories No 6 - featuring Jotto

Jotto - Future Shock, Milking Line
Jotto's 'Milking Line' is a rather individualistic take on the Milking Factory concept

Like Cupcakes666 in Milking Factory No 3 , Jotto depicts a very orderly production line, but this is complex, high tech, almost clinical to the extent that the 'farmer' can attend to his beasts wearing a sharp suit. 

Jotto's herd all seem to be seated, but the exact support arrangements are not visible so we cannot assess how much comfort they are allowed. The collaring of the man at the far end suggests this a highly disciplined operation with herd members expected to focus on production. 

Their milk organs seem to be very firmly clamped at the groin and they are not provided with comforting suction sleeves. Stimulation seems to depend mainly on the raw friction provided by a chunky, moving collar, although there is a hint of something else going on between their legs and underneath.

The men's balls also appear to be subject to a pumping, 'squeeze' action delivered by a moving piston which creates an unusual, production process that is both 'push' and 'pull'. This might justifiably be described as 'Forced Milking' as opposed to the traditional, 'organic' style of Inducing Production via natural stimulation and coaxing.
(I love Jotto's depiction of the cup-like plunger fitting under the balls like an egg cup!) 

I'm not sure whether there's any scientific basis for this approach but the ethics are questionable, the herd members clearly find it most uncomfortable, but times change and if modern techniques are more productive it's inevitable they will become more widespread. Nevertheless there will always be a place for traditional, small scale set-ups like Farmer McDonald's Red Barn featured here last month

Jotto Milking Factory (after Kalabro)
By chance, while I was researching this article I came across this version of Kalabro's Milking Factory which had been colourised by Jotto, it's included in the original article but I omitted to credit Jotto's contribution. These boys live a life of luxury in comparison with the poor chaps above!

Mitchell's Fetish Art for February - Rogue Intruder

captured burglar, over-powered, ripped, torn underwear
Mitchell - Intruder and Gay Pride


This picture features a gay couple who have been living together for years.
Like many modern men they are active and fit, which lends spice to their lovemaking.
It also gives them the confidence to stand up for themselves and their lifestyle.
They are out and proud and not afraid to defend their hard won 'freedom'.

So woe betide any ruffian who chooses to invade and despoil their cosy nest
especially one who, when caught, reviles them as weak and effeminate.

Rob had a theory that homophobes are really men with gay feelings they can't handle.
So when he caught one brazenly vandalising his home in the middle of the night,
it seemed like a golden opportunity to prove his thesis, to suck it and see as it were.

Jeff was happy to help, since he liked having a spunky lad struggling in his grip.
Also he had a grandstand view of the experiments Rob was making.

The villain soon changed his attitude when he found these men were stronger,
although, let's face it, having your jeans taken off is always a great equaliser.

He knew there was a certain rough justice in having his underpants trashed 
considering what he'd just done to their home.

In the end there was no need to get the Police involved.
The last I heard, enquiries were still continuing
.......and the suspect was cooperating.

Game On!


I know next to nothing of the world of gaming 
but this chap's outfit caught my eye. 
A bit over-dressed perhaps with the feather boa.
This spoof on the jargon is both funny and erotic
From the Destiny 2 Game
