A naked man sits on a delicately upholstered chair backwards, exposing his backside and bowing his head.
This is not only a beautiful photograph with an absolutely gorgeous model, but the position he is seated in is a familiar, evocative one to me. The open back, with relaxed shoulders and bowed head, is very reminiscent of the safest and most comfortable positions to be flogged or whipped or punched in. Rather than being necessarily feeling like high-energy and intensely painful things, all of those activities (each of which I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in this same seated position before) can also feel like a soothing and relaxing massage. Somehow—maybe it’s the decor of the chair—that kind of soothing scene is the one I imagine he’s either just finished or is just about to start.
