A muscular man is bound with ropes across his chest that keep his arms behind his back as a second, hairier man touches the tied man’s abdomen and smiles.
I like the scene depicted here, and wish we could see more of the bottom, although the composition of the image, with both submissive and dominant context clearly obvious, is particularly nice. (I especially like the top’s smile.)
This photograph was suggested by a reader wishing to remain anonymous, who wrote:
I love this image. And although I am female I can quite easily visualize myself in place of the male top—my hands skimming along the bottom’s abdomen—enjoying the various textures of muscle, skin and hair.
I’m grateful to have read that, because it makes explicit the fact that women are looking at pornography and find the need to switch the genders around a great deal of the time, just like I do. Doing this every so often is not a big deal, but needing to do it for the overwhelming majority of imagery I see every day is grates at my soul. A number of times (and thankfully no longer with any frequency), I’ve attempted to masturbate with some pornography only to end up in tears of anger and frustration at just how much mental energy I needed to spend merely trying to find a mental and emotional space for myself to self-love without the male gaze. And, in case you didn’t know, I’m a man.
