Poseidon was, of course, the god of the sea. He wasn't gay, as far as I could tell from the myths. But he was muscular and powerful, offering plenty to look at. If Poseidon were alive today, where would he appear? How would he fit into society? Obviously, as a young man he'd have a lot to learn and a lot of natural ability to exploit. So I think he'd end up on a college swim team!
Of course, the gay swimmers would want to check out all the new frosh right away. But they'd be discreet; until they were sure he was gay, they'd keep their distance. And in the meantime they might be willing to waste a little time waiting to see what they might get.
The photo shows three of the older swimmers lingering in the shower after Poseidon's first swim practice -- longer than they needed to -- waiting for hunky young P. to get around to taking his suit off. Hunky young P. himself is really pooped, and lost in his own new world of cold pools and exhausting workouts. Not a tease, he is taking his time in complete innocence.
BUY BEFORE THE PRICE INCREASE:
Because this photograph has been singled out for publication, its price will be set higher than that of others of similar size from this series -- $140 instead of $95. However, if you purchase the print before the end of 2000, you can still receive the original $95 price. Don't delay!

My next victim was Narcissus: as you recall, the beautiful young man who fell in love with his own reflection. There are a lot of his descendants in the gay bars nowadays -- they're always looking at themselves in the mirrors at the disco, making sure every wisp of hair is in place, every crease perfect. And I've noticed that they often end up going home with themselves.
Hermes was, of course, the messenger God. (Nowadays you don't have to be gay to run around naked, but it helps!) In any event I'm pretty sure Hermes today would be a Chippendale dancer who delivers Strip-A-Grams to earn some extra cash. (The Ganymede/Zeus image is at the top of page 3.) When Ganymede was 14 or so, Zeus decided that he (Ganymede) was the most beautiful boy in the world. (Nowadays, Ganymede would have to be of legal age.) So the Daddy of the gods flew down to earth and plucked the boy up to Mount Olympus. No doubt Ganymede would have been gamboling about in the virgin forest, having taken a copy of GQ with him in order to... well... masturbate, maybe. This is probably before your time, but Calvin Klein underwear does not go back to the Middle Ages: there was a particular issue of GQ which contained the very first Calvin Klein underwear ad. When it appeared, it caused a sensation among my friends -- even I bought a copy. The Ganymede in the photo below has opened that very issue of GQ to that very page -- whereupon he is interrupted by his soon-to-be lover. By the way, I made sure that my photographic Ganymede was uncircumcized -- for reasons of historical accuracy, of course. |
And now we come to the twins Castor and Pollux. They're a couple of constellations now, but back then they were godly flesh and blood. One of them somehow got killed, in spite of his godliness, and the other was so unselfish that he gave up half of his immortality to the other. Accordingly, each lives half the time on Mount Olympus and half his time in the underworld. Although each knows that the other is alive, they never meet -- because they switch places (between Heaven and Hades) every 12 hours. Of course, what would a good gay porno mag be without at least one photoshoot of naked twins? It's a very common gay fantasy, although the incest taboo manages to prevent most gay twins from finding their co-twin sexually attractive. That wouldn't apply, though, to twins separated at birth. The only such gay pair I happen to know about did accidentally meet each other in a gay bar. ("Hey -- weren't you here last night?" "No." "Well, there was another guy who looked a lot like you!" "Oh really? Could I meet him?" "Sure. Here's his phone number.") And yes, they did become lovers for awhile. But most of the time, a gay twin is intellectually aware that his co-twin is attractive, but some indefinable barrier keeps them erotically apart. (It's probably a biological imprinting process that takes place during ages 3 to 6.) So in this photo, if you look closely, you'll see that Castor appears to be embracing his image in a mirror. But behind the mirror, carefully lined up with the image, is Pollux.
