This photo was, for decades, considered absolutely peak male sexuality. It’s easy to see why, no matter your preference or the current style.
Imagine being on the receiving end of that expression! It’s how you only look at someone when youre utterly infatuated with them. Hes at once masculine and inviting. Strong and soft.
His left arm even seems to suggest his hand is between his knees, making the full scene even more adorable.
I, for the record, generally find men not worth the trouble
Also saying “im cishet” is so odd lol. You are speaking into a formless void where any and all may hear you, you could just say youre not into men and it would be much more clear instead of making the reader do mental tricks (“is OP always amab?”). Like, the only reason to identify yourself as cis is in a trans discussion. Theres no Trans discussion here in this thread.
I don’t want to sound like im being mean, im trying to help

This is actually a crop of a famous photo. In the full photo he is nude, with his left hand between his knees and his forearm just covering his privates.
It’s not just a crop, it’s had the cigarette removed. The cigarette with the ash he’s about to have to move his hand to knock off into the ashtray there. Giving the shot a positively Hitchcockian level of suspense.

I didn’t notice that! I wonder who originally made that edit, and when. Google image search comes up with both versions from multiple sources.
Ah, see, im too ace to remember the whole spread XD what a photo though! Look at how the light softens as it guides the eye down his legs. Remarkable.
Yeah, reading back I see that it’s a clumsy choice of words. I’ll work on that in the future.
Wat do You mean “was”?
It doesn’t get brought up as often. It holds up tho
