High
Expectations 2
This photo in its
original form showed a naked man from the top of his head, to below
his genitals. He's a good-looking guy with intense eyes who
seems to be masculine. You can see for yourself that he's
physically very "male". What you don't see is his
ample endowment below the
waist and has muscular legs.
If a picture is worth
one-thousand words,
an edited picture is worth two-thousand words.
The man of our dreams
here is missing his penis, but even more, he's missing his
brain. Gay porn conditions us to focus on the penis -- a
beautiful and pleasurable thing, no doubt; and the body -- again, a
beautiful and pleasurable thing, but it doesn't condition us to seek a
connection to the brain.
What's in the brain
anyway: imagination, logic/critical thinking, reasoning,
communication? For the most part, gay erotica (like straight
male erotica focused on the curves and breasts of its female subjects)
have not connected the male body or the penis to a
life-context.
What does this model
know? Does he have a brain? What does he do with his
brain? Who does this model know? How erotic is he when
he's clothed? Does he love anyone outside of himself? Does
he volunteer in his community?
Is he part of erotica
for life, for a better world?
