StromoXXX - New Year Resolution 3 - Take Up A Hobby

The 'artist and his model' has long been a subject favoured by gay artists. Etienne and Tom of Finland both tackled it and many, many others too. With the naive (and invariably nude) model supposedly unaware of the artist's true interest in him.

The strategically placed palette (and hand) in this picture is an erotic disguise worthy of the old days. The model's discreet pose, with raised knee, also pays tribute to his forebears who braved the law in those less tolerant times.

The artist is holding up a mirror to himself in such exercises, of course, sometimes literally depicting himself.

These images predate AI, but there's a tremendous sense of photorealism and sensuality. It seems like the ultimate expression of the technique developed by Tom of Finland.

StromoXXX - Confession: Underwear Model

I suppose this is the modern equivalent of the Artist-Model scenario. Here, it seems as if the model is looking down, wondering (uneasily) why the photographer is staring at his crotch. This is an underwear shoot and that legitimises his gaze, but only up to a point.

The model's, skin-tight underwear with pale blue hoops is genius. The back view leaves little to the imagination (very spankable!). Clever detailing of the cleft lifts it away from the painted-on look that bedevils clothing in render art. No doubt the front view would be equally interesting in such a garment.

On deviant art Stromo explains that he once did a gig as an professional underwear model, having been casually picked up off the street.

StromoXXX - New Year Resolution2 - Get A Physical Check Up

This is another situation where a man puts himself at the disposal of a professional with intimidating skills and unknown motivations on the day. Stripping naked is not usually required for a check-up so he must have quite a way with words. There's something very sexy about the flimsy 'scrubs' worn by medics, with very little underneath. The modest projection in his pants promises an interesting examination. The gloves indicate it might be a searching one.

StromoXXX - Customer Assistance in the Fitting Room

The default caption for this scenario is "This isn't what it seems, boss" but it's hard to imagine how it can be anything else. I can't think of any garment that requires the purchaser to strip naked and the days when menswear assistants actually helped customers are long gone.

For the general public at least, but I suppose they still exist in top quality, gentlemen's outfitters. As I recall the measurement of a man's inside leg for fitted trousers was brusque and not the least bit sexy. Maybe I chose the wrong shop.

StromoXXX - Room Service

This is quite a good realisation of the equally hoary, room service scenario. Popping of corks springs instantly to mind, but this attendant doesn't look the sort of man with the audacity to offer that service to such a lofty vision. I don't imagine he would refuse if he gets invited in though.

There's another example of strategically placed, 'modesty' accessories, this time it's two bottles. In the best traditions of the genre, they are arranged in a way that suggests there is strong desire in the air and someone is going to get on the end of it.

StromoXXX - Countdown to Halloween

A very contrasting take on the surprises in store in some hotels with this clever play on the 'Psycho' shower scene. The downward pointing dildo suggests the attacker needs some advice on how to handle his weapon properly. He might also benefit from some education on other things to do in a shower. His intended victim looks well qualified to give it to him.

StromoXXX - Dorm Life - Sharing a Bathroom

Most hotels aren't like this. There's a greater risk in a dorm environment of someone barging in when one is least ready for it and in a vulnerable state of undress. In a single sex environment there's more risk of pranking, but this image seems to hint at the voyeuristic opportunities.

StromoXXX - Boyd's Bath

This is my kind of voyeurism. A hunky man with a hairy chest who looks in need of a back scrub and general helping hand.

It's a timely complement to my recent bath night posts.

There's a more revealing version at the artist's 'X' site

StromoXXX - Willing Spectator

This image relates to another incident in the artist's life where he recruited curious men to watch him using the urinal. He doesn't explain what happened next.

StromoXXX - The Men's Room (Part 1)

Much the same is going on here, except the volunteer needed has to be a little less naive and have more time available. The tank top/vest and shaved head suggests a very earthy encounter is in prospect for the right guy. I haven't found Part 2 yet.

StromoXXX - Skinny Dipping

The sight of a man undressing never loses its appeal, although most porn creators don't seem to share this view, clothes in their films just vanish off the men in a blink of the eye. Even AI does it better.

I can't decide if his man is looking round furtively to see if anyone he knows is watching him or if he's eying up the possibilities in store on the nudist beach. The greenery tickling his backside indicates that it's that sort of nudist beach. Somehow, I doubt that the dipping he's got in mind will be in the ocean.

StromoXXX - Comparing Gains

Well if you say so 'Stromo'!

Looks more like they're anticipating games to me.

The guy with the long hair and flushed cheeks might already have a head start in hand. He seems to be looking around to check that the coast is clear of nosy jocks who might spoil the game.

StromoXXX -When You Get Hungry After A Good Workout

Gay guys spend a lot of time looking at each other,

appreciating the male form of course - and eying up possibilities.

This one seems to have a very discerning approach,

for many it's a case of beggars can't be choosers.

The modesty screening mechanism here looks very ordinary,

but converts readily into a teasing hand grip in the naked version.

StromoXXX -The Last Fling of the Summer

It's easy to assume that it's active tops who do most of the looking, but those on the passive side are just the same, they just have to be a bit more creative in getting attention. Like doing the beast stroke in the nude. Now he's wondering, has that lump in his trunks grown bigger than it was the last time he passed by?

In response to furtively viewing to his receding, rear view.
