Joshua David: Flesh Tones


'I saw so many guys' heads turn to see if I was wearing anything!'


When I think of Joshua David (bun_aventure) , I can't help but think also of snow.  One of the first images of the Seattle based model that I ever saw was a stunning shot of a nude Joshua in the snow on Mount Rainier. I featured that shot the first time I featured Joshua's work back in 2016. (Open Season)  I know I'm not the only one who was drawn to the image as I've seen it frequently shared on other sites and and forms devoted to images of men naked in nature. 

As you can beautifully see, there was no snow in sight when Joshua, and his beautiful buns  headed for their latest adventure.  These shots were all taken on a recent trip to French Polynesia, specifically the islands of Tahiti and Moorea.  Joshua had been hoping to visit Japan, but the pandemic put the country into lockdown and plans had to be changed.


'For this trip, I was looking for something special that would be unlike all my other swimsuits. I loved exploring the islands in this micro brief from @toddsanfield -- it definitely earned a few double-takes from the locals.'


The flesh toned swim swimsuit certainly had me doing a double take when I first saw the shots!  Joshua reports that even the person who makes the speedo thought he was nude when checking out some of the photos.  You can see more of Joshua exploring the incredible location in his skin colored suit on his Instagram HERE:


'I embraced the many looks and took in the extra attention, even though it can make me nervous.'


If you follow Joshua's work you know those speedos were eventually coming off.  Many of his adventures in Tahiti and Moorea included hikes and excursions sans swimsuit. Although Joshua loves being naked in the great outdoors, he was careful not to stumble upon any other travelers on his stripped down strolls. 


Most of the shots featured here were taken by Joshua's husband and a few close friends who joined him on the journey.  Although it's Joshua's beautiful body in focus, the incredible views captured expand to the incredible colors and majestic surroundings. Now that he's back home, Joshua's not slowing down.  Although his treks will have to be a little closer to home, there will be more adventures for our bun-aventure to look forward to in the mountains and trails near Joshua's home in Washington.
