Bodytorium: The Most Important Meal of the Day

'Sometimes improvised ideas are the best. I had a really fun time running around, crawling on the floor and getting into tight spots to get as many angles as possible.'

Phil, Bodytorium

For me, couples shoots are often hit or miss.  Of course I love seeing two hot men together, but to me, so often, couple shoots are over produced and overly sexual.  It sometimes feels like the photographer doesn't trust in the innate eroticism of two naked bodies in close proximity.  It is incredibly erotic to have two hot naked men together, but it doesn't always have to be overtly sexual.  Viewers can imagine whatever they want, but I especially love, when models, whether one or two, partake in every day everyday activities, completely nude. 

Some of my favorite shoots from Bodytorium have included two models together.  I can tell from the post counts that FH viewers also enjoyed seeing Lukas and Robert (HERE:) horse playing and taking a bath together, and Andrew and Lukas K (HERE:) stripping down for a run.  I also love when Lukas K shows up (HERE:) assisting and supporting one of his buddies through their first nude shoot.  Although there's nothing sexual between these straight friends hanging out naked, there is something incredibly fun about it, and incredibly hot.

'I’ve had many requests for another duo like Andrew and Lukas, or Lukas and Robert. Finally the time has arrived with Michal and Yuri. I also really enjoy the duos and I’ve actually intended to do a photoshoot event last year with at least 4 guys with a ski trip / winter cottage party theme, but unfortunately the timing hasn’t been right. Slovakia has been in a lockdown since mid-December and it keeps being extended. But the winter will pass and things will get better.'

Michal and Yuri are close friends and Phil met and “interviewed” both of them about a week before the photoshoot.  Phil shares that they came across as being both excited and a bit hesitant about their photo shoots, especially given Phil had scheduled them on the same day. Phil assured them that it would be fun, that at most they would be posing just doing something innocent and and be playful together.  Phi was clear he wasn't expecting them to French kiss, or anything physical between them.

'Michal and Yuri stayed in separate rooms during the solo shots. Later we took a short break and went to the grocery store tore to grab some food and that’s where the “making breakfast” idea came up. They weren’t completely comfortable with the idea of being completely naked around each other, but I told them that we’d start off with them being in their underwear and see how it goes. They were easygoing guys and I had a hunch it would be fine. And it was. At one point Michal asked Yuri if it had ever crossed his mind, when they first met each other, that one day they would appear in a nude photo shoot together. They laughed. '

'On a more positive note, I've also noticed that there is a lot more spontaneous and fun energy when two or more straight guys strip down and pose nude together. It kind of comes across as a childish thing when kids are amused by doing something they shouldn't, something "naughty". And at the same time it feels good. Posing nude seems have a therapeutic effect on some of the guys I've photographed and I've been thinking of ways of making this sort of experience more popular and available to men. '
