Picture Hotness (Possibly TMI)

[anogete]

When it comes to my attraction to the opposite sex, I don't really think I have a 'type'. I usually admire the more unusual or unconventional fellows, but being outside the mainstream concept of beauty isn't a requirement. I adore Richard Armitage, and he's classically beautiful all the way. Then again, other big names that everyone seems to drool over (Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell, etc) hold absolutely no appeal to me. I do, however, recognize that I tend to prefer manly men. Not sports starts or professional wrestlers, but men with a bit more character--ones who don't look so perfect or metro-sexual. A perfect example (even if it is an animated example) is Cowboy Bebop. I'm in no way attracted to Spike, but I could easily have (and maybe already have had ::shifty eyes::) sexual fantasies about Jet. There are always exceptions to the rule, though.

Anyway, this is going somewhere. And the place it's going is probably TMI. A secret was posted on fandomsecrets today, and it made my eyes pop out of my head. Obviously, it isn't my secret because I was unfamiliar with the photographer's work until today, but you can sure bet I got familiar with it afterward. ::fans self::

I'm sure I could go into some long explanation of why exactly I find this picture hot, complete with psychoanalysis and contemplation of gender roles, but I won't. I'll just let the picture speak for itself. It's very suggestive, but does not show any naughty bits. I wouldn't say it is safe-for-work, though.

Um...guh!

Wow.

I...there are no words. That is an amazingly hot picture. And not something I would have thought I would find hot. And yet I do.

Damn you and your contemplative hot guy posts!

I was surprised I found it as hot as I did, too. But, yum, he could put his hands in his pants with me any day.

That is hot. Not something I would have thought I'd find hot, but it is.
Don't know if I have a type either.
*ponders*
Nope, I tend to like 'em British, though - do you think that qualifies as a type? Or a fetish? ;D

[anogete.livejournal.com]

British is a type, I guess. Or maybe a preference--like some people like dark hair. You just like British accents. ;-)

Mmm, that is hot! I know exactly what you mean, too... a little voice in my head said he'd be hotter without so much body hair; society's ideals screwing with perceptions of beauty and physical attractiveness is so annoying and pointless. People are who they are, and restricting yourself to Hollywood Hot is just plain stupid.

He's certainly got potential! lol

I saw Richard Armitage and said, she thinks the CIA architect of drug running in Southeast Asia during Vietnam is HOT?

(On the right)

Then I saw it was the dude from The Vicar of Dibley.

Well... yeah. No, not the CIA fellow. The lovely British actor. Drug running is just so unattractive. Although, I do hear it is lucrative.

He's...greasy. If he didn't seem to have tripped into a pool of glycerin I'd be in your zone. As it is I find myself trying to figure out what material is best to remove oil from jeans. Is it salt? I think my dad mentioned baking soda...?

You're thinking about laundry at a time like this?!? I'm all about cleanliness, but I'd worry about the grease later.

*grin* This is a designated time now?
I want to get a whiff of the hotness, but the angle of the shot is throwing me. And the fact that someone obviously drove by and threw buckets of EVOL on this poor hapless dude. How he's not going up in flames is beyond me.

Show me a smoldering glance or a certain turn of the neck and my engine revs. This? eh, not my cuppa. But that just leaves more imaginary time for you.

It's so...raw. I think that's what grabs me about it. I am sometimes attracted to the powerful, obvious alpha, but only like 15% of the time.
My type is "tortured soul who is discreet about their own pain and gets on with life".

Yes, 'raw' is definitely a great word to describe that photo. I'm not such a fan of erotic photos of the man waving his manly stuff (read: penis) about, but I love photos in which it is alluded to, not just put out there for everyone to see. Like in this one, he was obviously grabbing himself by shoving his hand down the front of his pants. That's oh-so-attractive to me, but the moment it comes out of the pants, it just turns the photo into something cheap.
