Man Candy Monday

“He was bare from the arse upwards, his naked back facing me. His olive skin was overlaid with a sheen of dark bronze, and he was perfectly muscled: sinewy, work-strong contours rather than vulgar brawn. His black hair was cut in a grade-two crop and the suggestion of skull beneath was menacingly beautiful. His head was slightly turned, eyes downcast, mouth set in a firm line. You could see an ear, jawline, high cheekbone, and part of a big, hawkish nose.

His left arm was angled at the elbow; his hand was in front of his body. It looked like he was wanking, oblivious to anyone else.

It was, quite simply, the horniest photo of a bloke I’d ever seen.”

Because we can eroticise men with words as well as pictures.
