A shirtless man with his jeans pulled down about his hips stands against a wall as a clothed woman fondles his naked ass.
I like how the models’ emotions are radiating out of this photograph. The woman’s smile is a comfortable one, and for the most part she is casually dressed. I’m unsure of the reason that the man’s hiding his face for. Is it embarrassment or perhaps some other expression of vulnerability? Whatever it is, not only is his body more exposed by being less dressed, his pose actively exposes more of himself to her. I do wonder what the tattoo of the woman on the man’s back means but, as I look at this picture, I remain too busy thinking about her hand on his ass and their respective expressions to bother with the tattoo, despite the fact that it seems a little out of place.
Then again, perhaps this man isn’t one who is usually submissive. I’ve spoken to a surprisingly high number of women recently (three in one week) who’ve expressed an interest in either “topping” or “being dominant” who at first, they told me, considered themselves solely interested in bottoming or being submissive. There could be many reasons why someone is interested in exploring a new part of themselves, but I have to believe that a person’s environment influences their behavior to some degree. If one is never exposed to possibilities, many people may not ever see them as existing. The extent to which the majority of submissive-focused imagery tends to be monopolized and monotonous is one circumstance I suspect as being a cause of some men and women’s struggle for self-discovery.
