During my first 30 years, there were no photos of naked men available anywhere, or you could get them only occasionally, in expensive, hard-to-find magazines. Then suddenly, around 1995, internet bulletin boards made hundreds of photos available. Then, with guys posting smartphone selfies, thousands. So I started collecting them. During the last 20 years, 've accumulated about 10,000. Here are some of the highlights of my collection:
Punks and Chavs. Emos, scene kids, beatnicks, gang bangers, mods and rockers, various bad boys with beards, blue hair, mohawks, pierced tongues, tats, and enormous beneath-the-belt gifts.
Rednecks and Cowboys. Farm boys, country boys. anyone wearing a feed store cap, standing next to a tractor, listening to country-western music, or asking "Y'all wanna climb up to the barn loft?"
Richie Rich. Yes, I have a full collection of comic book scans from that brief period in the 1970s when Richie Rich, the previously nondescript rich kid of Harvey Comics, joined a gym (or, I suppose, had a gym constructed in his mansion, lifting bags of money and giant diamonds). It only took a few lines to suggest pecs and biceps, but what a difference it made!
Sleeping. You're asleep, having an erotic dream, and the covers start to tent. Or you kick the covers off, giving your buddy a full view. He thoughtfully takes a picture and posts it on the internet for thousands of strangers to admire. If only he included your telephone number, your date requests would skyrocket.
S/M. Guys tied up, struggling against the ropes, gagged, blindfolded, like Tarzan and Bomba the Jungle Boy in the old movies of my childhood. Except here they're naked.
Snow. I never take my shirt off outside when the temperature is under 70, and rarely until it reaches 80. There's something sexy about a guy who walks around in the buff when it's cold enough to be snowy. And exhibits no discomfort. Or shrinkage.
Sports. Guys in sports uniforms, or preferably out of them. Unless they're wearing wrestling singlets that show off their packages. A surprising number of wrestlers become aroused during the match.
Suits. Nazarenes required men to wear suits to church, three times a week, but since leaving the Nazarenes, I've worn suits maybe once or twice a year. Guys who wear them all the time are extremely sexy. Especially when they show you their equipment while still wearing the suit.
Teams. Preferably swim teams or wrestling teams with bulges displayed, but groups of guys are fine, too. Here a frat displays its underwear and ties.
Urinals. Guys whose friends snap their picture just as they are pulling it out at the urinal. I also have some of guys doing more than that.
Vintage. Old black and white photos, some Victorian porn, but mostly guys from my parents' and grandparents' generation hanging around nude.
Such photos are very rare. In those days photo developing services usually rejected male nudity, so if you took a nude selfie, a camera-buff friend had to develop it for you. And you'd be too embarrassed to let it survive for your heirs to scan and put on the internet.
