Alpha Males

Something I read on a blog, made me think of "Alpha males".

That lead me on to think about the works of "Tom of Finland" who´s real name was Touko Laaksonen (1920–1991). Laaksonen was a Finnish artist best known for his stylized androerotic and his influence on late twentieth century gay culture. He has been called the "most influential creator of gay pornographic images".

I would think his work is in part the role model to a great proportion of the rougher side of gay life, whether the men know of "Tom of Finland" or not.

What the images and magazines of "Tom of Finland" was to the gay men of those earlier days was in a way what our SecondLife is to some gay men today.

This was not a coherent post, because I am a bit on the tired side, but I wanted it out of my system...sorry readers.

  5. Well buddy, I know a woman who could train you to use the litter box and make her food ... so don´t you be so cocky, but I am also sure she succeeded only because you allowed it! ;)

  8. last but never least, a side note about this picture (me doing Tom): by this time it got 10 stars (favorites)from flickrs users, wich is really amazing. Heheh I think Touko Laaksonen wasn't fondle about hairy men so, I came with the idea and did (quite well) fill the gap. Hugs Bil!

  9. Awwww BIL, I think I can find a few of his "hairier" specimens for you - and you always looked great, even if you are almost a furry! ;)

    Actually this has turned out to be the most popular posts - I think perhaps I should do another one on Touko Laaksonen just to increase my hits.

  10. Nothing worse than finding a "real" stud...only to discover a pair of pink lace panties under the black leather pants. I do have to say that the leather/levis bars I visited last week in San Francisco were NOT a disappointment . I was like a bee in early Spring.....dropped my pollen (DNA) all over town and enjoyed the leather and levis in the City by the Bay.
