“The naked male body is beautiful and I need to see as many as I can before I die,” Seattle-based photographer Kevin Kurbs jokes with Queerty. “Seriously, though, porn is rampant and you can see naked men everywhere. I want to capture men in their simplest and most basic forms.”

Kurbs shoots most of his male nudes in black and white, and the majority of his models are just regular guys off the street. Some are younger. Some are older. Some have six packs. Others don’t.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Our gay community is so locked into the perfect man,” Kurbs continues, “but we are all perfect in our own way. My greatest satisfaction comes from the average guy who is blown away when I capture a part of him that he has never seen.”

Queerty’s notion of “everyday guys” needs work.

You’ve forgotten Queerty’s entire readership is made up of Adonises. Adonisi? Or thinks they are worthy of one.
These are guys are all good-looking and (gasp!) not all of them white. What’s the problem?

Competent but yet, boring.
I wouldn’t call any of those ‘art’. More like very good family photos.
I do appreciate his efforts and skill.

I’m willing to bet, “thinks they are worthy of one.” I find the realness of the photos moving and refreshing. The man of a certain age is a bonus.

At least with the 5th guy, I’d have something mildly interesting to read while I’m ass-fucking him.

Like the article says* Everyday ordinary guys* Nice smiles, most have the guy next door look , nice to see there’s life after the 18 to 25yo’s. Personally I prefer a mature man with a great smile and at times an od sense of humour, that’s why I married him! Like Deborah, Wolverine’s Mrs. (Hugh Jackman) I’d much prefer his *normal* physic* without the exaggerated muscles. It’s the man not the imagine, get a life gentlemen , then you’ll find the man of your dreams!! I did.

Funny thing is, if I were to go over to the post about the Australian beach guy the comments would all be “Oh look another young white guy chiseled from marble. There are other body types, skin colors, and men over 30..” Bitch bitch bitch.

To each his own! For me: give me the ‘roids’ between 20 and 45 (and an occasional 50).
