One Man’s Everyday Life

 Meet Kent, an introspective, newly single gay man that is presently celebrating his new-found freedom.

.

Kent is in touch with his body. At home you will find him naked … his clothes come off the moment he walks through the door. He knows the feeling of fresh air on his skin and he savors it.

If Kent won the lottery he says he would visit every nude beach in the world.

 .

Kent is 47 and lives in St Paul, Minnesota. Due to the long winters, much of the year he has to stay bundled up against the cold. Come spring, it’s a different story. His jeans have a delightful way of coming down.

Were you wondering what the previous picture looked like from the front?

.

When Kent sent this marvelous and eclectic set of pictures, I knew it would make a great feature. It occurred to me they are shots of a day in the life of an intriguing man.

.

When Kent spends his time perusing images of men, he prefers shots of guys with flaccid penises. I concur. They seem to be rather rare on the Internet. Soft lets you turn your imagination to what you might do to make it hard.

Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. Here Kent has found a secluded spot on one of them. How striking he is in the elements. This shot suggests it would likely be fun to spend the day with him. Continue reading

Peter Breen’s Artistic Self-Photography

“London Based photographer/artist Peter Breen has been doing a provocative series of self portraits for years now, usually clad only in sneakers and socks, or bits of costuming. Breen’s objectification of his own body is both intimate and otherworldly. It’s an interesting statement on male beauty viewed through a queer lens when so much attention is placed on objectification of the aesthetic that Breen chose; self portraits, that at times are erotic but often candid or just as often frighteningly uneasy. His work seems voyeuristically private and bravely so; a revelation of the inner world of the modern male psyche and its place at odds with the changing nature of the his place in said world. He toys with the masculine and the feminine and has a great grasp for capturing the natural light of the outdoors.” …by Andrew Klaus.

Penises in the Movies

We’ve see breasts and buttocks and even vaginas in the movies for some time now. Until recently the penis has been taboo. Who knows why. Movies meant for adult audiences should have a mature attitude toward the human body, both male and female. Perhaps we’re worried about the sensibilities of young teenage girls. Seeing a penis could very well ruin them for life. We certainly don’t want them to see what their male counterparts look like until they absolutely have to, when in reality most of these young girls are checking out male bodies online, this site for one. Or maybe we’re worried about homophobic men. Seeing a penis on the screen might anger him or turn him gay, or it might force him to tell his date that he’s disgusted, just to make sure she knows he isn’t queer.

The times they are a changin’. Penises have made their debut, and though they still tend to shock the moral and self-righteous, there are certainly times a penis on screen is appropriate and natural. Say for example when a guy gets out of bed to get dressed, or during a passionate love scene, or simply coming out of the shower to answer the phone.

Jason Biggs, in his new movie American Reunion, has happily joined the stars on screen that are getting naked in the movies when the scene calls for it. Jason discusses his roll in the following article by Jennifer Still on Digital Spy dot com.

Jason Biggs has joked that he was happy to show his penis on film before too many male actors jumped on the bandwagon.

The American Reunion star, whose character Jim appears fully nude in the new comedy, said that he felt it was important to appear in the scene himself rather than using a stand-in.

“That was me. That was all me. It’s funny, I guess I understand because there’s all kinds of movie magic, but we made sure that there’s a close up shot – and then we go to a wide shot. So that my face is in it with the penis,” Biggs explained in an interview with The Huffington Post.

“You see a full shot so that it’s clear, or more obvious, that it’s my penis. I remember in early cuts I kept telling the directors, ‘I have one note. You have to hold on to that shot longer so that people will know that’s my penis. Otherwise, what’s the point of me doing this?’ The plain truth is, that’s my penis.”

Biggs also discussed the fact that audiences may soon become desensitized to male nudity and will stop finding it funny.

“You know, between There’s Something About Mary and then Jason Segel – and, apparently, he’s doing it again; he just loves flumping his [penis], apparently – and now me and Michael Fassbender last year, yeah, I don’t know. Pretty soon people will become desensitized to it. But I’m glad I’m catching it on the early side, so people still have a little bit of shock,” he joked.

“The other thing is, even if people were like, ‘Eh, penis, whatever’, I think they’d still be shocked because it’s Jim’s penis. There’s something about doing it with a character that people have sort of come to know and love over the years. And they’ve come so close – his penis has gotten lots of play over the years – but they’ve never actually seen it.”
