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.

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.
