Hunk Hunt - Inside Adam Bryant's Underwear

 I've been on a mini hunk-hunt this week.
 (click on label below for other hunk hunts)

It was triggered by stumbling across Adam Bryant receiving an erotic haircut 
from Johnny V in the Hothouse film 'Rough Trade 2' (from the Skuff series)

Click to enlarge (so to speak)

I was captivated at first by Adam's terrific, chunky build, but as I meandered through other images from his films I was struck by his remarkable ability to infuse underwear with great sexiness. 
You might differ from me on this first image - I don't normally get excited by baggy underpants either - but it looks here as though Adam's ample endowment is roughly elbowing it's way through all that drapery, eager to get to work on Scotty Zee, who is sat next to him.

Scotty himself, having sighted this phenomenon, looks as though he's wondering if the fee he's getting is going to be worth the wear and tear in prospect for his rear. However like a true trouper (or naive youth) he's clearly excited by the challenge. Slam Dunk indeed.


This unveiling of underwear for Luke Adams benefit in Freaky Friday (above) shows a much tighter rig which is certainly my preference. Moments of undressing like this are a rarity in porn films whose makers seem to have forgotten the arousing power of stripping. 15 seconds of this would surely be a more-than-fair trade for a bit less sucking. 


In 'Top to Bottom' with Diego Sans, we even get a delicious rear view of the same pants and you can perhaps see what I mean here about Adam seeming to add a certain, sensual 'je ne sais quoi' to what is admittedly a very, nicely-cut brief. Perhaps they're beginning to wear in.

 You will observe that there's a certain bagginess around the crotch area here again, but for me it creates the impression of a well-worn, favourite garment, stretched by regular (demanding) use. Adam's assets may be getting some unofficial assistance here, but the bulbous result makes your palms itch with a desire to enwrap it. The cut of these trunks, emphasising those impressive thighs is a special delight to me, rekindling fond memories of Scott's legendary, tight white shorts from the early 1960's.


Tight is the name of the game here as well and those of you who appreciate the allure of stretched nylon will doubtless enjoy Adam's bottom showing through it in this picture. Others may savour the unusual inside-out look. Potential purchasers of the garment on the other hand may have mixed feelings about the threadbare look. Are those ladders?


For my money, these look simply stunning, although Adam himself looks less than sure. The tiny glimpse of builder's cleavage above the waistband is delicious. Pale blue always has been a marvellous colour for men, showing character without seeming unduly showy. It might be just a photographic effect, but the colouring of these briefs - looking faded and slightly greyed as though put in the 'darks' by mistake, combined with that slight evidence of looseness again (despite an amazingly tight butt fit) seems to suggest these pants might be totally infused with essence of Adam from repeated wear and positively reek with sexiness.


I've avoided a number of frontal poses because the styling of these garments often produces a pointed effect which isn't my cup of tea. In Adams hands here the contrasting centre seam assumes a more satisfying curvy shape. Just as well as the black, main colour is no help at all to needy voyeurs.


Which is the reason why I've had to fiddle with the contrast here, to bring out the outherwise invisible frontal bulge in these more conventional trunks. Once again the square cut leg flatters the model's chunky thighs. Adam's smile here might be called 'insoucient'. I call it sweet.


White pants can be a problem too, producing glare instead of clarity, but it's saved here by the texturing of the aeration holes. This 'pure' colour suits the model's confident heroic pose and the photographer's done a good job with the lighting, managing to bring out the muscular detail on a torso that's not overly 'cut' (thank goodness). The bulging underpants seem curiously detached here in a funny sort of way but that seems to add to their prominence.


I would be failing to deliver on the promise of my post title if I did not give some account of the items within and I'll start with the end, my favourite.

Little wonder that Adam looks so good in tight underwear with a bubbly bottom like this... and talking of bottoms, little wonder that the porn creators have been itching to bring it to the fore by inverting his role, which started off strictly topping. Admittedly his slightly diminutive stature is not ideal for this unfortunately, although it does spice any encounter with impressively big men such as Johnny V (below).

So far Adam has bottomed for the formidable tools of Diego Sans and Topher DiMaggio 
which may account for the slightly pained expression!
 (To be truthful, the still above comes from his session with Mike DeMarko)


 This is the image that triggered this hunk hunt off. It should amply satisfy those who do not share my rear end preference. Adam actually wears leather briefs for this scene with open back and detachable front piece. The sequence that follows shows Johnny down on his knees servicing this monster and there are some stunning upward views of Adam's undulating torso - and superior demeanour.

 Can I help you?

Another New Life in prospect

An underwear shoot in a remote, beautiful wilderness area goes wrong.
The Crew unwittingly stumble into the domain of a strange recluse,
who hasn't encountered another man for many, many years.

The ad campaigns for Modus Vivendi over the years have been sprinkled with some striking - and evocative - images. This one shows their 2017 'Desert Line'. Sadly, the others in this series don't elaborate on this enticing idea.

A-Z, the end?

I finally reached the letter 'Z' in my A-Z of Fetish Artists this month. (Thank you to the member who commented on this little milestone). It's been a long haul since I posted the first article in this series featuring the marvellous artist 'Adam' back in April 2008. That's nigh on 10 years ago.

Adam
The world has changed a lot in that time and this series has too. The original articles were very sketchy compared with my current standard, partly to avoid falling foul of copyright issues. I also avoided explicit material so that the blog could be classed as 'non-adult' and would be less vulnerable to arbitrary deletion by Google. That meant I had to censor some sample images. Of course that policy was not compatible with the subject matter of the A-Z and as soon as I deviated the blog was removed anyway in May 2010. 

I think that event may well have been triggered by my publication of the A-Z article on Martin Of Holland in April 2010. This was and is the only article in the series that I developed in collaboration with the artist in question. I was mildly acquainted with him as a result of debates on artistic questions at GMBA (current link in sidebar). Martin was a man of strong opinions and principles and I knew he would not entertain my censoring his work, but between us we were able to select a not-too-demanding group of pictures that did some some justice to his exotic tastes in erotica. That article remains in its original form to this day (see Martin Of Holland).

Martin of Holland
Fortunately the suspension of 'mitchmen' proved to be short lived and Google allowed me to resume behind an 'Adults only' page. After that I felt freer to use uncensored artworks although (as regular readers will know) I still watch my P's & Q's if I'm in a challenging area. Despite that I'm grateful that Google allows me to use this platform although that co-existence nearly ended again in 2015 when Google decided they wanted to ban blogs with nudity only to reverse the decision a few days later. 

The upshot of this is that I have a legacy of articles running up to the letter 'M' which are not as I would wish them to be. I recently noticed for example that my article on Hasegawa, presently has one censored picture (below) and two vanilla ones which are not really representative of that great man's skills.

Hasegawa
  I have been updating some of these early articles for some years now but on a piecemeal basis only and I have only scratched the surface so far. Revisions are noted in the A-Z Index. So the answer to the question in the title of this article is no, it's not the end of the A-Z. I aim to revise the series more systematically. Hopefully it won't take another 10 years but I will have to balance that activity with introducing fresher art and artists here too. That includes artists who use computer techniques who are not represented at all in the original A-Z.
