Pubicular
Although I had access to the Internet in the late 1990's, it wasn't until the early 2000's that I lived on my own and had my own computer. I remember going on-line being surprised at how many male celebrities posed showing a little crotch cleavage. I don't mean models, actors or singers posing fully nude, but celebrities posing mostly clothed, but with their pubic hair in the spotlight.
Some were promotional shots, others were early modeling shots, captured before they became famous. I remember those early shots of Robbie Williams and specially Steve Sandvoss. (top image) I think the images of Sandvoss were taken before his big break in 2003's Latter Days. Given the gay themes within the film, it was surprising the actors many crotch cleavage shots became so popular.
Over the last couple of years, it seems peaks of pubes have again become popular. Actors Cooper Koch and Nico Tortorella are just two of the celebrities to help bring back the trend. Certainly many models and social influencers have also jumped on the bandwagon, but for this post, I'm focusing on primarily actors.

Some of the shots are posed, some are unplanned. Some actors just show the crest of the crotch, like Jake Gyllenhaal, (below) others, show the entire bush. Some images have a hint of the handle, but most. focus foremost on the cluster of crotch hair.
I remember being surprised a couple of years ago when I found the image below of actor John Enos III. The spectacular shot, by photographer Rocco Laspada, was posted by John himself on his twitter. Recently, I began to look for other actors who posed pubicly. Check out some of the most famous celebrity crotch cleavage shots, and a few personal favorites, on the NEXT PAGE HERE:

Around the Web
It's time again to spotlight some of my favorite clicks from the past few weeks. Although Instagram has the delete button at the ready for any sign of male skin, we shall persist. Out Canadian diver Bryden Hattie is a great follow. Not only do you get a lot of speedo shots, there's also the odd view of the diver's derriere.
If you visited Casperfan lately, you know his blog is running on all cylinders. In addition to recent scenes of male skin, Casperfan also goes retro. His recent posts, looking back at A Night in Heaven, has some the highest quality caps of Christopher Atkins that I've seen.
Although many sites posted about the recent homophobic quote from actor Terrence Howard, I first saw the news on People. While appearing on the Club Random podcast, Howard let his feelings about playing gay, and kissing another man on screen known. The same man who'll wear the wig above for a role, won't kiss a man for one...
I'm not a size queen, I actually prefer an average to smaller sized penis. I also don't support body shaming. With hypocrites like Howard however, I'll make a rare exception. Every time, (and there have been a few) Howard makes a bigoted statement, my mind flashes back to his nude scene in 2005's Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Howard has a long history of saying stupid things, and sometimes big idiots need small responses.
Most sites focused on the male form shared Jon Hamm's recent nude scene in the Apple TV+ show, Good Friends and Neighbors. Poster Xander7 from Dreamcap however, gave us a zoomed in view of Hamm's haunches.
I know I'm not the only one whose lusted after actor Henry Golding for awhile. Restituda1's World of Male Nudity has a great set of caps from Golding's Shower scene in Another Simple Favor.
Chris Teel: A Night at the Anvil
'Shooting at Anvil Toronto was quite unusual, and maybe even a little unexpected from me. It was something new and required a bit of creative experimentation.'
I confess, I've never been to a sex club, except maybe in my imagination. My main references come from scenes from movies and television shows. I think my introduction may have been when I was younger watching Queer As Folk. I remember many episodes which included scenes of Brian visiting sex clubs.
Those scenes often began with sort of a shock to the senses. They always seemed to start out a bit blurry. A hazy mix of music with flashes of lights alternating with darkness. Slowly our vision improved and the surroundings more in focus. Slowly we began to notice more detail, movement and color, predominately the hues of exposed male skin.
If you live in Toronto, you may have heard of the city's new men's club and gallery. Anvil Toronto opened early this year with the goal to provide a discrete downtown destination for men seeking excitement. Located in the heart of Church Street, the club offers not only privacy and excitement, but also values inclusivity, community and safety.
Since the clubs only been open a few months, getting the word out, especially to those outside of Toronto, is a promotional priority. Photographer Chris Teel was recently invited to the club to shoot behind the scene images of a pre-planned video shoot (filmed by LoudCount Studios here in Toronto). As one of the site's longest creative contributors, I featured many of Chris' photoshoots. (Check out an updated list HERE:) Usually, Chris shoots models in studio, or outside on location. For his time at Anvil however, things were a little more spontaneous, and impulse infused.
'Normally, for my shoots, I plan most of the details from the models, to wardrobe and location and lighting. In this case, because this wasn't my production, I took the opportunity to play and experiment a bit more than I usually do. Having said that I was still able to capture portrait-style shots of each of the models for their own socials and OnlyFans pages. The space was actually closed to the public, all of the guys in the shots were performers in the scene.'
Having worked on FH for so long, I'm always looking for new and unusual visuals and stories. For Chris, whose been shooting the male form for close to 20 years, new and unusual are also things he looks for in a project. Chris was curious about the space, and excited to be working in a new environment. Chris shares that the space is quite dark and is maze-like with lots of little side rooms and a 'slurp-ramp' in the middle. The ramp is an elevated space surrounded by glory holes.
The goal for Chris was to capture the atmosphere and voyeuristic feel of the space. Something raw and anonymous yet artistic at the same time. Chris shares that the low-light conditions and constant movement and 'action' from the performers really helped with his goal. Many of the images were shot through the glory holes, capturing what was happening on the other side.
When I was going through the images Chris sent on, I was reminded of the erotic haze I remembered from those scenes from Queer As Folk. Through his visuals, Chris introduces us to the club with an instant spark to the visual senses. Then, slowly as you're eyes and mind start to adjust, the sexual scope of the location slips fervently into focus.
