Meet male model Joseph Sayers, whom I recall from an ‘xy magazine’ spread he did about 15 years ago. He’s aging much better than me, but rather than envying that I’m going to be happy for him. It’s always nice to see someone from xy make something out of their life. [See: Benoit Denizet-Lewis.]
But enough of my blabbering…
What would you do for an uncropped version?
This is Jesse Metcalfe, newly of ‘Dallas’ fame, formerly of ‘Desperate Housewives’ fame, neither of which I ever watched. Well, the original ‘Dallas’, yes. But that was then and this is now and my tastes have evolved from the fake dramatic to the real dramatic (hello ‘Real Housewives’).
There has been much criticism of Mr. Metcalfe’s “man-boobs”, which I find rather distasteful. The criticism that is. I haven’t tasted the other.

Because he’s even better in motion. One day soon I’ll do a serious Ben Cohen write-up, on all the amazing work he and his StandUp Foundation do to combat bullying. Today, however, I’m too tired to do anything but watch him get dirty, work up a sweat, and take off his clothes for a calendar shoot.
I’d apologize for another porny post to promote The Pictures page, but that’s not my style. Plus, it seems to be pissing some people off, so… Bonus! (Wait until you see tomorrow’s posts…) I’ve been feeling a little prickly of late, and not in the mood for confidences. In honor of that, a visual to prick your interest.
This was taken on one of our October excursions to Maine, when the seed pods of all those plants that flowered throughout the summer come into prominence. Vessels of future life, they hold the promise of another summer – a promise we will cling to when the winds of winter kick up and the snows of the season begin to arrive. Â
If that doesn’t work, there’s always the option of cracking open the world and the whiskey to get through the day. And a night like this.
“Whiskey, like a beautiful woman, demands appreciation. You gaze first, then it’s time to drink.†~ Haruki Murakami
“Some of us look for the way in opium and some in God, some of us in whisky and some of us in love. It is all the same way and it leads nowhither.†~ W. Somerset Maugham
Picture pages, picture pages, lots of fun with picture pages, lots of fun with crayons and pencils… As you hopefully will have noticed if you’ve been following the trajectory of construction on this website, we’ve finally gotten The Pictures portal up and active, so I invite you to have a look-see. It was a 1:30 AM night that involved some gin and some beer and some very dear friends which is why the time flew by. Many thanks to Sherri and Webmaster Skip for their hospitality and help.
 Speaking of Webmaster Skip, he’s got a new site for his services at iwonderhowmuch.com, so if you’re looking for someone to transform your mediocre site into something fabulous, something exciting,  something to set you apart from the crowd, give him a whirl. Not only does he have a knack for knocking out amazing stuff, he’s also hugely fun to work with. (How many midnight hot dog runs has your Webmaster made with you?) All joking aside, he’s the reason this site has come so far in such a short time. It’s sometimes risky working with friends, but Skip has always been professional in dealing with my demands. And God knows, I can be demanding.
There is still some work to be done on this site (so I ask you to stay tuned in the coming weeks and months while we get it into pristine shape for our tenth anniversary next year), but if you think back to the antiquated shambles this place was just a few short weeks ago, the progress is astounding. For all of it, I have to give the credit to Skip. When I was unsure about something, or doubted which way to turn, he always offered the most perfect and elegant solution, and when I needed someone to focus things and remind me of what was important, he was the sounding board to keep us on track. Sometimes it helps to have a straight guy for the queer eye. And regarding that queer eye, I offer the photos you see here, and many, many more now up at The Pictures.
Not only is Ben Cohen beautiful and confident in the underwear department, he also has a tremendous heart, as evidenced by his StandUp Foundation. Check it out HERE, and pick up some of his underwear if you are so inclined.
Ben Cohen in various states of underwear will be featured in the next day of posts, so stick around, or come back often.
A lot of times I get requests to post salacious pics of shirtless men, some of whom I don’t find attractive in the least. This is not one of those times.
Ladies & gentlemen, I give you Thom Evans. No idea who he is, nor an inkling do I care.
And with a body like that, I don’t even care what he wears.
Remind me to stop eating the carbs. Actually, remind me to stop eating altogether.
He even makes man spanx look good.

Despite our in-flux status, or perhaps because of it, this seems as good a time as any to examine the evolution of David Beckham and his briefs-encapsulated bulge. God knows we could use the hits… The featured image above is the first time many of us got a glimpse of Becks and his balls, and it remains iconic. Compare that to the one below, in which he appeared with his wife, Victoria (who will always be known as Posh in my book). As much as I love her, I’ve cropped much of her out.
A few years pass before his latest venture, his own line of underwear for H&M. As disappointing as their first offering was (fabric and fit was all wrong), I may have to give it another go, even with the unfortunate mustache that accompanies the new promo images. The Power of Beckham in Briefs. It’s very real.
