A naked man wearing a studded leather collar leans forward from an X-cross to which he is shackled by his wrists. A sexually suggestive mural adorns the wall behind him.
This photograph is simply beautiful. It was suggested by Evagrias, who wrote saying:
This one caught my eye because of the mural behind him, and the fact that he seems to be really enjoying the situation. It’s simple, yet complex; downplayed, but infinitely expressive at the same time. I’m an artist myself, so I like simple images that have a lot of depth like this one.
One of my favorite things about this picture is the dark wooden bookcase with obvious shelving over to the left. It adds some realism to the picture that brings the scene far enough out of the realm of untouchable fantasy to avoid my jealous scowl.
I also really appreciate Evagrias’s remark that the man seems to be enjoying himself. Indeed, he doesn’t really look distressed, but rather hopeful. It’s depressing to realize how hopeless so many people feel in relation to sex, and the possibilities for their own sexual satisfaction. The more “abnormal,” the more “perverse,” the more stigmatized and discriminated against your sexuality is, the more overwhelmed you are by just such a feeling of hopelessness.
Despite the biblical stories, forbidden fruit isn’t desired because it’s forbidden, but because it’s fruit. In other words, sex is nice, and porn is good for our society.
