If creative ability equaled economics, Russia would be the world’s economic powerhouse. Pavel Kiselev lives in Moscow. He creates images that make you think he was born with a camera. He creates images other photographers aspire to. To see more of his work, visit www.photokiselev.com.

Terry doesn’t need a reason or an excuse to get out of his clothes. He simply enjoys being naked. Here he is in the garden behind his house, which he shares with three other neighbors, sixty-year-old women. Since he considers this a problem (he doesn’t want to scare them), he always keeps his pants nearby. Makes you wonder if they aren’t secretly spying on him through the kitchen window.
Anyway, here are some additional photos from his collection.

1. Circumcision is unnecessary surgery.
No medical association in the world believes routine infant circumcision is medically justified. Today, most Canadian doctors do not circumcise infants—even if parents request it—because they recognize it is unethical to force a child to undergo unnecessary amputation. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
2. Circumcision diminishes sexual enjoyment for life.
A 2007 British Journal of Urology study found that the five most sensitive parts of the penis are removed by circumcision. Foreskin is not “extra skin”—it is functional erogenous tissue containing almost half the skin and well over half the nerves of the penis. Cut it off and those nerves are gone forever, taking with them any chance of enjoying foreskin-based orgasms. Plus, the now-unprotected penis head loses sensitivity from exposure. A circumcised infant will never know the full, natural sexual experience his whole penis would have given him—and that’s a tragedy.
3. Circumcision violates children’s human rights.
All children (male, female and intersex) have a human right to a whole and intact body—so no child’s sex organs should be amputated without an urgent medical reason. A boy’s foreskin doesn’t belong to God, the government, or his parents—it belongs to him. His body, his choice!
4. Circumcision denies children’s religious freedom.
Some faith groups argue that ritual child circumcision must be permitted on the grounds of religious freedom. However, this ignores the fact that forcing a child to endure ritual circumcision—the permanent modification of the genitals to signify religious affiliation—denies the child’s religious freedom. In Canada, we have the right to follow the religion of our choice, and to decide which religious traditions we wish to observe. As such, ritual circumcision should be delayed until adulthood, when the owner of the penis can freely ask to be circumcised as an expression of his chosen faith. Circumcision is for consenting adults only!

Has anyone truly figured out what happens inside our bodies and our minds when we find ourselves confronted by certain images, images that have the power to displace all other thoughts? What happens inside us upon pondering these images when the entire world stands still as our brains change the currents of our body chemistry? What happens when our brains tell us what we’re seeing has to do with the essence of life and then sends us on flights of fantasy? No, it’s not the image of a new sports car that has the power to do this, or anything else related to the material world … the image would certainly have to be another of ourselves, such as the images here.
A woman would look at these images with her own feminine perspectives, though I find it impossible to fathom what thoughts may pass through her mind. But when the magic is complicated by the fact it is a man that is attracted to another man, a new set of rules apply.
Procreation explains the attraction males and females have for each other. But what makes a man attracted to another man? Since I can think of no logical explanation other than possibly some re-routed genes, the fact that we can be attracted to each other must be a special gift; a gift, more often than not, that must be cherished secretly.
The magic is defined by just how much one man is capable of appreciating masculine beauty. The fascinating aspect of same sex attraction is the amazing extent some men can get into other men, whether they are bisexual or gay. Simply put, they treasure masculinity: the patterns of body hair, the angular contours of a male chest, the myriad of masculine body smells, the fleshy rounds of a male ass, the shadows and mystifying danglings between masculine legs, not to mention the capacity for two men to be sexually intimate with total abandon.
So I’ll never know why just some of us were given this gift, or why these leanings are considered taboo, which leaves both me and you to live our lives and continue to marvel at and contemplate the wonders of nature, even if we have to do so in secret.
Where are you on the scale of same sex attraction?

The phenomenon of male intimacy
Some say a fine line divides art and pornography. As such the following film blur’s the line. When it comes down to men that are compelled to be sexually intimate with other men, this film illustrates the raw passion that lies in wait inside many of us.
The first five minutes or so of the film is disturbing. Beyond that, this is one of the best adult films I’ve ever seen.
BY FRANÇOIS ORREN in the typical Jean-Daniel Cadinot’s style and with Cadinot’s technical crew.
Written by Jean-Daniel Cadinot prior to his death:
“The human being is made such that it only remembers the good and the beautiful, therefore I leave you with a free mind and a head overflowing with a myriad of young men, sometimes strong and vigorous, sometimes fragile and sensitive. All of them gave me these unforgettable moments of their most tender intimacy, moments that only a few really know but which I made into images to allow you to admire them over and over again.”

There is something about a guy that has reached a level of calm self-assurance, of comfort with his own body, of adventure that he uses his photographic skills to display these enviable qualities to the entire world.
Meet Nekkid Ned. No that’s not his real name, but it’s close. And nekkid he is.
Ned is in his twenties. He’s just under six feet tall and weighs around 140, all-in-all quite a nice package. Born in the midwest, Ned is a college grad that has lived most of his life on the east coast.
Should you happen to fall asleep in his bed, here is what you would wake up to. Unless someone was in the kitchen frying bacon, you probably wouldn’t be thinking about breakfast.
Ned has used the Internet to fulfill his daily quota of naked men pictures, hence these of himself. They are Ned’s way of contributing back. That said, I don’t know if he chose this spot for a photo shoot, or if he just enjoys hanging out on the roof naked.
“I think the human body is a beautiful thing, and theoretically, everyone should be able to express themselves and “let it all hang out” without being judged or demeaned because of it. In reality, there’s no way in hell I’d be so open to the world outside of my apartment and the semi-anonymity of the internet.”
Okay, what good is a collection of photographs without a few closeups?
In case you’re wondering, Ned hasn’t shared any of the above very intimate, masculine nuances with anyone just yet. He is “one of those” who still operates on a notion of finding the right person to share a love life with.
Again, Ned’s own words: Continue reading
