New Work & Award Winner: Beau

Like with numerous other species, are males actually the more beautiful sex? Are men peacocks? Despite the fact that our society usually celebrates the aesthetics of the female form over the male, why is it the norm that women wear makeup and perform a myriad of other rituals to look prettier?  If men did the same would they be considered equally beautiful or maybe they don’t because it is just not necessary.  It was this question that lead me to a series of works I’m calling Natural Beauties.  It also opened up the fun idea of very masculine looking men doing typically feminine things.

My first Natural Beauty is “Beau”.

The original is on consigment at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. While available for purchase, it will remain with the gallery through the end of my upcoming show, the Breathtaking Blue, this July. In addition to the original, limited edition Gallery and Studio prints as well as open edition Portfolio prints are available for purchase on my website: www.breyette.com. The Day of Issue Price only lasts through March 11th at midnight. 

….and “Beau” was selected yesterday by the Erotic Signature jurors as the winner in the Fine Art category in their 3rd annual worldwide competition.

It will appear in the “The World’s Greatest Erotic Art of Today Vol. 3” alongside the other category winners, and the top 200 selected entries.  Two of my other recent works, “Dream of the Dolphin” and “Farmhand” were among the top 200 and will also be published in the book.

Congratulations to my friend fellow artist Marc DeBauch and everyone else who won a place in the book.

Weekly Poll

Mens underwear have come a long way in the last few decades. There are thousands of colors and designs, and hundreds of brands with a new one seemingly popping up every month.

So this week, I pose the question: What does your underwear drawer look like?

The poll is in the sidebar.

Weekly Poll Results

48 % said that it doesn't matter to them if a gay porn actor claims he's straight, but a rather close 40% said you're less interested in them if they do. The remaining 12% answered that it actually makes them more turned on.

Personally I go along with those who say they lose interest. I think I am just distracted thinking they are lying. Most guys in porn can't act to save their lives and they want me to believe that when they are having sex with another guy they're just 'acting', not enjoying it in the least, I don't buy it.

Art of the Month: Franco

Climbing from the pool, he pauses as your eyes meet. Perhaps he will get out and join you. Or maybe he is waiting for you to get a little wet?

Each month I feature one of my pieces as the Art of the Month. For February it's "Franco". All prints of this work are 15% off if ordered from my website.

Weekly Poll: Gay for Pay

There have been, and still are, gay porn stars who profess they are straight, and that filming and having sex with men is only something they do for money. It doesn't seem to be as 'popular as it once was, perhaps gay men like their porn to be more sincere or gay guys who lust after straight guys is a smaller niche market than once thought.

Rather than ask if you believe they are really heterosexual, I was wondering do you care?

Swimming - The Sexiest Sport

The results of this weeks visitor poll has swimmers coming out on top as the sexiest of sportsmen. Diving came in a very close second. My guess is it's all about the uniform.

I have to say, though, that the trend of wearing those space-tech full body suits in competition is a bit of a turn-off. Not only visually, but it dilutes the athletes' natural abilities. It's a high-tech enhancement and to me, puts it in the same category as steroids. Is it an honest competition between men or technologies?

Q: What is the Sexiest Sport?
Here are the poll results (multiple answers were allowed):

• Swimming 45%
• Diving 44%

The Go-Go' - "Head Over Heels"

New Release: "Unsuitable"

There are moments when the world around you changes course, or something inside you transforms. Priorities and ideals that were once acceptable or even revered are looked down upon. A brave new world is dawning, both outside and within, and the ways of the past have become unsuitable.
