Last week we told you all about

Sherwin Carlquist and recent book called UNCUT.

I wanted to share with you this week, more images from his BEST OF Collection book MEN IN NATURE.

He has specialized in studies on plant anatomy and island biology – but then later developed the idea of applying  his studies and techniques to human subjects–a man in a landscape, combining the forms of each into a unified picture.

 He has spent countless hours photographing the natural man in the outdoors and amassed an AMAZING COLLECTION of images!

Finding the perfect locations, scheduling shoots, lots of hiking to get to secluded areas, dealing with heat and insects, finding suitable models who were naturally comfortable in front of the camera….This man has spent years capturing men on film!

Over the years he has published 7 books of male nudes – all with Uncut Men!

The photos featured here are from MEN IN NATURE. A collection of color images spanning 20 years of works. The red-orange colors of sandstones in Utah, the shiny blackness of a Hawaiian lava flow, the sheen of sand dunes, the liveliness of a waterfall in Yosemite-these and other scenes spring to life as the backdrops for intact male bodies representing a rich diversity of types and moods.

What would you expect to pay for this 200 page coffee-table book of beautiful male nudes? $50-$70? At least! But this book is only $35, postage included!

AND check this out – Sherwin is offering all 6 of his other books for just $25 EACH! You can own THE ENTIRE COLLECION for less than $200!

These books are a must have for the collector of male nudes in art and the lover of natural uncut men!

Like FaceBook,  but  GAYER!

Ahhhhh,   the  Sixties!  Porn was so different  then.  Before the world of the Internet – there was  BOBS   WORLD  and  AMG. 

Bob Mizer spent 48 years making photos and films for his Athletic Model Guild, and 41 years publishing Physique Pictorial, America’s first, and most explicitly gay physique magazine. His diaries, kept from the age of eight, make it clear that he was openly homosexual from his late teens, but until the age of 42 he lived and worked in his mother’s L.A. rooming house, where his strict ethical code prevented him from fully expressing his fantasies. For 24 years he worked in black and white and never showed a completely naked man, but following his mother’s death in 1964 Mizer built a kingdom dedicated to the pleasures of male flesh, and photographed fully nude men in explicit poses and psychedelically saturated colors.

In the 1970s and ’80s Bob Mizer’s compound, centered around the old rooming house, became home to dozens of his young models, who lived outdoors on couches and porch gliders among the chickens, geese, goats and monkeys, Roman statuary, cast off Christmas trees and other sundry props that featured in his increasingly quirky films and photography.

Sometimes called the Hugh Hefner of gay publishing for his pioneering magazine (republished in entirety by TASCHEN in 1997), Mizer influenced figures in art and society from David Hockney–who first came to America partly to meet Bob Mizer–to California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who modeled for Mizer in 1975.

Bob’s World: The Life and Boys of A.M.G.’s Bob Mizer

LOREN JOHNSON is a Tantric Yoga and Chi Kung Instructor.  (And a hottie!) As a wellness professional, one observation that became increasingly apparent was that nearly all of Loren’s male clientele has various issues with the sexual organs and or sexual energy.

This began an ardent search for yogic methodology that addresses this reality which brought Loren to read the Healing Tao books like Multi Orgasmic Man and Sexual Reflexology. It was clear that in order to properly teach the practices laid out in the Healing Tao series, training with and becoming certified through author and Taoist Master Mantak Chia was an investment beyond measure.

It is well known that exercise fosters health and vitality. Yet with the countless approaches to fitness that exist today, even the so-called holistic ones, very few actually work with the whole body. Often overlooked, sexual energy is a potent and natural resource that can be channeled for internal strength, wellbeing and longevity.

Lauren recently made and released 2 dvd’s, of interest to men. In the TANTRIC YOGA FOR MEN video series, Loren demonstrates a simple and skillful response to the nearly epidemic levels of prostate disease, erectile dysfunction, poor libido, male infertility and other complications that arise from living in our highly structured, but not always healthy, society.

HIS NEWEST RELEASE – TANTRIC YOGA AND SEXUAL KUNG FU FOR MEN Explores the advanced practice of brain breathing, core yoga and sexual reflexology as a natural means of integrating cognitive and sexual power. Learn in action techniques that increase penis size, staying power and overall quality of the sexual experience, while generating increased energy for daily life. – This dvd contains full frontal nudity.

I can tell you – I have been doing the exercises and they are helping!

One of our readers turned us onto Loren Johnson and his TANTRIC YOGA FOR MEN dvd. THIS IS NOT PORN. However, we felt it was of interest, since gay men are such sexual beings and many  of us, especially as we age, want to maintain and/or improve our sexual fitness and well being.

ah…..vintage  male nudes!

There is something so beautiful about the art of the male nude in black and white, that is sometimes lost these days.

In the pre-Stonewall era before the advent of the gay rights movement, male nude photography was kept underground. Photographers feared police confiscation, harassment, and worse. This volume uncovers the work of ten different photographers produced during this suppressive period—images hidden away for a generation in private collections and closed archives. The majority have never been published. A full range of styles is included: gleaming muscle gods shot in the physique magazine style, sun-dappled outdoor nudes from the 1960s, and artful black-and-white studio portraits by George Platt Lynes. Uncovered restores a lost chapter to the history of the male nude photograph and reintroduces more than one hundred unsung classics of male erotic photography to the world.

the Author…
Reed Massengill is a photographer and writer whose work has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for biography. He has authored and edited several books, including Self-Exposure: The Male Nude Self-Portrait and The Male Ideal: Lon of New York and the Masculine Physique. Victor Skrebneski  (foward) is celebrated as one of the world’s finest fashion and portrait photographers.

The book retails for about $45,

but you can pick it up at Amazon for about half price!
