An Autumn Walk by the River

Kyler Pettis

by Salvador Félix

I loved Kyle Pettis when he was on Days Of Our Lives, and thought he did an exceptional job playing Theo and his autism.  I'm still not sure why he's not still on the show, there was something special about him on screen that his replacement hasn't come close to replicating. 

Thankfully, you can't take the need to create from an artist, and Kyler continues to share stunning visuals on his social media site.  I love this most recent set from Los Angeles based photographer Salvador Félix.  There's such a tranquil feel to the shots and Kyler looks stunning by, and in the river. 

Wherever we go, Whatever we do...

'We're gonna go through it together.'

Over the last five or six months, several themes began to arise on the site.  I didn't initially intend to concentrate on them, yet they clearly became of focus of certain posts. Most of my seasonal sightings posts tended to be two, three or more guys mooning.  I have a folder for my seasonal sightings shots, and noticed I had saved several shots of multiple moons. 

I also focused over the summer on CMNM themed imagery.  I'd previously featured CFNM shots, but never really focused on clothed men with nude men until this year.  Given both themes featured two or more guys together, I started looking for other sites that focused on the theme.  One of my favorites turned out to be a Twitter page titled 'Guys Naked Together.'

It's not just guys at the beach, it's shower scenes, movie scenes, sports teams and much much more. Check out additional shots of Guys Naked Together, as well as more about the site, and the owner, on the NEXT PAGE HERE:

Adam Wylie: When Child Stars Grow Up!

It's always kind of weird seeing nude scenes featuring actors who were once child stars.  I know many are in my age range, and went from seeing Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, and the cast of The Goonies grow up into actors playing very adult roles.  But, given how long FH has been around, there are many actors who were 10, 11 and 12 when it began, who are now acting and in their twenties. 

I didn't really have actor Adam Wylie on my child star to do a nude scene bingo card, but still, here we are.  Adam began acting when in the early 90's when he was 8 years old.  Many may remember him from his turns in; Kindergarten Cop, Child's Play 2 and the series of films in Crayola's Kid Adventures. 

Gilmore Girls

Many were introduced to Wyle during his time on the drama series Picket Fences. I don't remember watching much of the show, except for crushing over pictures of Costos Mandylor.  I think the show aired on Friday Nights when I was still in school, but I'd like to catch if on a streaming services at some point. 

Children of the Corn V

I do remember watching Wylie on Gilmore Girls where his story mirrored what was going on his real life.   If I remember correctly, his character Brad had to leave school due to getting a role on Broadway.  This was around the same time Wylie was appearing on Broadway as Jack in Into The Woods. Wyle also appeared on stage in Los Angeles in productions of Wicked and Beauty and the Beast.

Wylie continued acting steadily throughout the 90's and 2000's going back and forth between guesting on dozens of television shows, in films and on stage, and even a episode of the soap General Hospital.  There was one role the talented actor took on in 2009 however, that somehow I missed...

Anyone who's checked out the site for awhile, knows I love me a little Porky's.  I discovering the flicks on VHS when I was a kid and watching and rewatching the scenes with male nudity.  I've also done several pieces on the site, (HERE:) including looking into some of the 'tragic' edits of male skin from what was on the VHS release, to what was cut with the formatting changes on the DVD and Blu-Ray.

Pimpin' Pee Wee (2009)

'Three college buddies search for sex in the summer holidays and end up starting a successful whorehouse.'

'This is a behind the scenes shot between takes of “Porky’s: The college years” or the retitled “Pimpin’ Pee Wee”. I had a blast filming this. I was super happy because I had free reign to improv a ton and be so creative with this process. I made some lifelong friends along the way.'

I had no idea there was a Porky's 'adjacent' film released in 2009.  I also had no idea Wylie had a nude scene in it.  This flick must have come and gone quickly as the films were really popular, and it's hard to imagine that I would have missed it if it had gotten any traction on-line.

After watching the film however, I can see why it didn't really take off.  Although Wylie is good, and the cast likable enough, it was really bad.  There were a few chuckles, but mostly it seemed an excuse to show boobs, lots and lots of boobs.  I think there at least 10 actress' who were nude, both topless and bottomless, but Wyle was the only male actor, who other than shirtless scenes, who showed any skin.

Bob Clark, who wrote, produced and directed the first two Porky's movies from the original trilogy, knew that male skin was not only needed, it was funny and welcomed by audiences.  Sure there is a Pee Wee in the film, a Porky, a Tommy and a Meat, but director Brian Trenchard-Smith pushes none of the comedy and nudity boundaries the original films did so well.  

Maye it was the studio's decision, but if you're going to make a Porky's today, you need to push the boundaries with comedic nude scenes.  It's not enough, to just show a bunch of boobs in generic teen comedy scenes and situations.  Still, it was nice to see Adam again, and what I think is the then 25 year old's, first on-screen nude scene.

'The first time I saw his portfolio, I knew I wanted to have a session with him.'

Tom Nakielski

When I first started FH, I wasn't on any social media sites.  The only site I really used to connect with models and photographers was Model Mayhem.  The site is still there, but I don't go there very often anymore.  It's like a Ghost town.  I still like checking out the POTD contest, but these days, there are rarely more than a few entries. Fewer and fewer artists use it, and most have long stopped checking any messages that might be left for them there.

At it's peak however, it was 'the' place for models and photographers to connect.  So many of the artists and models that I have featured on FH, I first connected with on MM.  It was on MM that I first connected with JGH Photography. He shared his work with model Hansel Wellington who I first featured almost 10 years ago. (Point of Convergence) It was Hansel, who later connected me with photographer Tom Nakielski from Lights On Studio.

I used to ask models what there experience was like on the MM site.  I was aware, that although it was used by many legitimate photographers. it was a site also used by porn company's and people with camera's looking to shoot nude models in situations beyond classic male physique style poses.... Many models shared 'interesting' stories about some of the jobs, and themes they were offered.  Given Tom is not shooting these days, I have been asking him to dig back into his archives.  For this shoot, I asked Tom about Spencer, the first model he connected and worked with because of Model Mayhem.

'Spencer was the first model that I found on MM.  I was new, he was new. The first time I saw his portfolio, I knew I wanted to have a session with him. Spencer didn't really have any specific goals, he was new to modeling, and just wanted to build his portfolio. We never discussed nudes. His profile said that he didn't do nudes. I really didn't suggest anything too erotic, mostly stuck to fitness and fashion.'

What was he like to work with, did he require much direction? 

He was very mellow and at ease. He naturally fell into poses. He holds himself so confidently that he didn't need to do much to look good. He was determined to make the poses work. The wheel pose where he is pushing up from the floor was very did difficult to do. The wheel kept rolling as he pushed up from the floor. But he persisted until we where able to capture the moment. 

Sometimes a circular object can really highlight the lines and contrast with the curves of the human body.  The inspiration for this set of images came from a photo Tom had see of a model posing with garbage can lids.  Tom liked the photos, and the graphic elements involved.  Tom had be hoping to try something similar.  Although it wasn't planned, fortuitously someone had left two old bicycle tires in the studio Tom was using and as you can see, they became an important element in this series of shots.

'Since this was my first session with a MM model. I was nervous about how it would go. Spencer was very easy going and cooperative.  His graceful movement was a sight to behold. Poetry in motion.'
