Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931) was a German photographer renowned for his nude male photographs, primarily taken in Taormina, Sicily, where he lived for most of his life. His work, featuring young local men and boys, combined classical poses and idyllic settings, evoking ancient Greek and Roman art. Von Gloeden’s photographs are notable for their aesthetic quality and the way they celebrate the male form. Despite their controversial nature, his work gained appreciation in art circles and remains significant in the history of photography and queer art.
These photos made me get hard. Most of the gorgeous pics on this site don’t make me have erections, as beautiful as the men and the composition are. Why I wonder? I’m horny here in Croatia where I spend most of the day naked but haven’t had any sex. Maybe. Certainly the sepia tint and the young bodies posing as “Greeks” are part of it. But the main thing is that the camera is fucking them as it looks at them, by which I mean the eye of the photographer belongs to a man who has. The photos are saying to me: here, I fucked this lovely boy a few minutes ago, now it’s your turn. I can smell his spunk on them.
