Stocking Stuffers: Wish Books

Image by Tom Nakielski

My favorite Christmas gifts have always been books, calendars, posters and photos.  I'm not a fan of getting or giving food, and I like to pick out clothes for myself, but getting a good book, especially one I hadn't heard of, was a truly a great, and lasting book.  My bookshelves are full of books I was given, many with hand written messages from friends and relatives.  I treasure those gifts, especially now that I'm older.  Books aren't just a favorite gift to get, they're also a favorite gift to give.

Paintball Pirates:

Dan, a ginger bond trader in his mid-twenties; Chris, a Mediterranean Adonis; and Brad, a Nordic beauty in his early twenties, have been recruited to play in a paintball tournament.  What they didn't realize is that they were really recruited for their physical beauty. Each will be captured, restrained, and tested in sexual ways they never imagined, becoming ensnared in a web of gay BDSM that will change their lives. WARNING: HARD CORE ACTION.

Photo Books are incredible, but author and photographer Wilf Reynoldson writes in away that pushes the readers visual imagination to it's erotic limits.  Check out the low-price Kindle editions on Amazon (US) HERE: & on Amazon (Canada) HERE:

Lights On-Clothes Off

'He quickly devised ways and orchestrated multiple opportunities to bare all whether for childhood friends, high school buddies, art classes, house parties, gay and straight nightclubs, porn movie theaters and seedy sex clubs.'

If you haven't  read my profile of nude life-model and author Stu, check it out HERE:  Stu chronicled many stories from his time baring all for large classes, as well as more intimate venues, in his book Lights On-Clothes Off which you can check out HERE:

Gordon Nebeker

I've been fortunate to have seen and enjoyed most of photographer Gordon Nebeker's and have featured many of them on the site.  One of Gordon's most recent books was Love in the Afternoon, (above) which I featured HERE:  I also love all of the books in his Lake Powell series, and have a special place in my heart for Oh Mexico! (HERE:)  Oh Mexico featured Gordon's work with model Austin Wild, who I was privileged to feature many times on FH.  Check out all of Gordon's photo books, most which are available in both print, and as instantly downloadable E-Books on Blurb HERE:


StudioMGphotography

If you checked out FH last week, you devoured a tasty preview of Nicholas, (HERE:) the hot off the presses new photo book from StudioMGphotography.  Nicholas joins the list of along with some of my favorite models that Mark has worked with.  I've had the pleasure of featuring many of Mark's shoots, and the hot subjects from his extensive series of photo book.  Check out them all on Mark's site HERE:


After books, calendars would be my second favorite gift, to get, and to give to myself.  With the internet, may have stopped buying physical calendars, but I still by two or three every year.  One of my kitchen, one for my bedroom, and an extra one for the back porch.  I used to get so excited seeing the new calendars on the racks of the stores, and rushed to check out the 12 months on the back covers.  I loved celebrity calendars, wildlife and architecture, and of course 12 months of images of an incredible male form.

The Duelists: 

FH love the work of model and actor Michael Moody and a big part of Michael's acting career is his work with The Duelists.  For the past several years, Michael and Randal Scott have a produced a sizzling hot calendar where both Duelists are  unarmed and exposed and stripped of their leather, swords and protective gear.  You can order the calendar by contacting Randal on The Duelists Facebook Page HERE: You can also contact Randal directly. (Randal@duelists.com) Payments are quick and easy and done through Paypal.


One of the motivators to working on FH is the excitement of finding new chroniclers of the male form.  One of the most innovative, and one of my recent favorites, is digital artist Achillias. I first featured the Netherlands based artist back in 2021, (HERE:) and have been closely following his work since.  I recently taken with an image Achillias posted on Twitter promoting his 2023 Kalender. 



The calendar will be released exclusively on the artist's Patreon, but like other calendars featuring the male form, includes some behind the scenes images of the shooting process.  Here are a few that Achillias shared to give you a taste of what's to come!  Check out Achillias on Patreon HERE:



Worldwide Roar

I've been fortunate to have discovered photographer Angus Malcolm just about the time the first Warwick Rowers calendar was released back in 2010. (HERE:)  Since then, I followed the calendars and videos, from Warwick to Worldwide Roar, as well as other work from the talented photographer. Check out and order the 2023 Worldwide Roar calendar, as well as the many image and video packages HERE

If you can't decide whether to buy a book or a calendar, how about both? I  know FH viewers love the work of photographer Phil Diab, (Bodytorium) I can tell by the posts hits, and the e-mails I receive. Phil published his first book, Nothing to Hide, in 2021 and a follow-up is on the way!


Nothing to Hide – Young Men from Slovakia 2”, was just published (at least in Europe) in November 2022.  It  will be available worldwide by Spring 2023. Phil has also created two 2023 calendars, “Nothing to Hide” and “Young Men in Nature”.  Both are already available for purchase worldwide.  You can find them in some stores and on Amazon, or check out more on Phil's site HERE:
