Male to male intimate visual contact is one of the most intense, powerful and passionate realms of human sexuality. The male to male intimate visual contact or “intercourse” has been depicted in art since ancient times when humanity formed physical relationships for the purpose of procreation and child-bearing. Male sexual intercourses were often violent, brutal, dangerous, and sexualized. As such, many cultures and societies criminalized it as a form of deviance, while making punishments for those who engaged in such activity. These punishments included flogging and castration, and sometimes even death.
Throughout much of human history, the male nude body has often been used to portray societal power and male sexual prowess. Artworks like the Mona Lisa, the Egyptian pharaohs’ embalming with the head of Helios, and the Roman gladiatorships are perfect examples of the power of the male gaze. Through representations and images, society was able to tell its stories: what men were capable of; what women were sexy and desirable; how a man’s masculinity could be challenged by a woman; and what women were capable of and desired. All of this was done through male images. Male to male intimate visual contact extended beyond the boundaries of borders and became an everyday part of people’s lives.
But in modern times, male images have become tainted by the media, which often presents the male body as a template for how men are supposed to act, and what they should look like. Male images have been warped into fantasies and sexual objects by the media, which glamorizes promiscuity, pornography, and violence against women. While men may still experience these images, they are often inflated beyond their authentic scope. Instead of being viewed as natural, their true nature is trivialized and their reality becomes blurred.
This trend has affected male to male visual contact across many different cultures and countries. Some of the effects of this distortion can be seen in the way that male to male images are presented on T.V. The distorted perspective gives the impression that two men are actually one; that one penis is bigger or longer than the other, thus giving it a pseudo-rapey insinuation. The same distorted perspective is used in pornographic male images. And these male images are used not as proof of how male sex is supposed to be but as a form of pornography.
Sexual images have long been used by artists in the artistic community to portray sexuality and to draw sexual inspiration from. Sexual images do not need to be sexual objects to be erotic. They can be just as sexual and even seductive as any other erotic image. Sexual images are not limited to one gender, and they can even be used to celebrate or protest any form of sexual inequality. A male dancer can use male images to create a performance piece that is both sexually charged and politically charged at the same time.
Men have used male images in very creative ways for years. Male figures have been used in comic books, movies, and cartoons for decades. Today these images can be found all over the internet. From porn films to funny games, male images are taking on a life of their own on the web. Websites dedicated to male nudity are becoming more popular on the World Wide Web.
Some people may be disturbed by the fact that many of the images on web sites are of people who are naked. But the reality is that the majority of people who post naked images of themselves are men. Women are not usually naked in most forms of artwork, because women’s bodies are too delicate for pornography. In order for a man to be aroused sexually, he needs to see his manhood. And the more aroused that a man becomes, the better his chances of having an orgasm. That is why adult male images on the web are often used as ways of giving men ideas for masturbation.
There is no doubt that male images on the Internet are a form of self expression. People can let their hair down and display their male bodies in all their glory. So while some people may find it offensive, there is no reason to get upset over male images that can be enjoyed by all.
