A man stands bound with ropes to a construction of bamboo poles. His clothing is shredded and his penis drips ejaculate.
This sexy drawing was sent to us by Derek Isme, who says the artist “is the late Japanese artist, Sadao Hasegawa. His wonderful pictures came out of a very different tradition than that of the West, and some of the imagery—and symbolism—escapes me. But the presentation of erotic male submission is universal.”
The detail in this picture is beautiful, and very layered. For instance, it was only after the sixth or so time looking at this picture that I noticed the dragonfly on one of the bamboo poles. The first five times I was looking, uh, elsewhere. My sincerest thanks to Derek for sending several of Hasegawa’s drawings, which I’ll be posting soon.
