(Waist-deep in gay porn, so it strays into sexual territory that’s definitely off-limits for kids and the sexually modest)
A HuntForMen (from Falcon | NakedSword) membership ad — gay porn you can subscribe to — this morning has as its central element this pose of gay pornstar Beau Butler, performing the most modest level of shirt-lifting (exposing only a bit of belly):
(#1) His jeans are open, suggesting that the pose is a sexual invitation rather than just a musclehunk’s body display
Two things: the levels of shirt-lifting, and the charming, also hard-working, muscle bottom BB.
Shirt-lifing from A Bit of Belly to Framed Full Frontal. From my 9/23/09 posting “Lifting shirts”, taking off from a 10percent.com ad:
(#2) Levels 1, 2, and 3, plus an unlifted shirt; fitness apparel, marketed to gay men (in the queer 10%)The ad shows various degrees of lifting shirts in front, to display the male torso, especially the guy’s “six-packs” (the abs, that is, abdominal muscles). It celebrates fitness, and homoeroticism as well.
… Shirt lifting displays go from the coyest (The Basic Tease), with a small patch of belly exposed by one hand lifting the shirt up this little bit, through the bolder Belly and Tit Display, with the shirt held (by hand, or occasionally, in the teeth), or pushed up, above the tits, to the Framed Full Frontal display, with the shirt rolled up and placed out of the way, hooked behind the neck – essentially a Full Torso display framed on top with what is now a suggestion, or memory, of a shirt rather than an imaginably functional piece of clothing.
The 10percent guys illustrate several levels of shirt-lifting, but not the Framed Full Frontal display, which you can see in this depiction of sex between driver and hitchhiker:
(#3) Actual dicks cropped out for WordPress modesty
More of BB messing with his shirt. Three photos.
(#4) Roughly level 1.5; also here because of the red rooster (an engorged cock) on his t-shirt; the hat; the jeans pulled down to reveal his jock strap; and the red bandanna on his left arm (which would normally signify that he’s a fister, but though BB’s done a number of heavy anal scenes, I haven’t found any with him fisting, or getting fisted)
(#5) Two variants of level 3; more open jeans
(#6) Not shirt-lifting, but shirt-spreading (or -opening); in any case, the full torso; and a suave but intense BB
Beau Butler on this blog. All my postings, I think, in which BB appears significantly:
— from 5/3/21 in “With knitted brows”: muscle hunk BB in the gay porn video Show Hard (about t-room sex), with knitted brows while getting fucked on a mensroom sink
— from 8/29/21, in “Sweetly earnest and pleasantly gay”:
Sweetly earnest and pleasantly gay, also a superhunky muscle bottom (descriptors the man himself laughingly accepts as compliments); a “voracious bottom” (or eager receptive, to put it in more distanced technical terms), as an interviewer put it a while back; and something of a queen (a descriptor he occasionally uses of himself as well as the other “queens in recovery” in his alcoholism support group). This is gay pornstar Beau Butler, who appeared earlier on this blog in my 5/3/21 posting “With knitted brows”, because brow-knitting is one of his Serious Faces, frequently displayed during sex with other men, in particular while he’s being pronged by a Raging Stallion co-worker on a mensroom sink in the porn flick Show Hard. I write co-worker because though Butler is indeed an eager receptive, both personally and professionally, he also views his sex work as a job — requiring specialized skills, attention to the tasks at hand, and teamwork, and following demanding routines and schedules — a job that he approaches with a serious work ethic.
— from 10/17/21, in “Two faces”: BB in Raging Stallion‘s Just/Sex
— from 11/24/23, in “Cum All Ye Faithful”: BB in this 2023 Christmas gay porn movie
— from 12/4/23, in “Naked men in Santa caps”: BB in particular, displaying his pornstar buttocks in that Christmas porn video
— from 10/14/24, in “Dirty words”: flip-fucking with Michael Boston in Falcon’s Give and Take (2022) — two beefy men with bubble butts who love to get fucked but can also top enthusiastically
BB comes across in interviews as earnest, thoughtful, and charming. And yes, he moderates his natural furriness some for most of his parts.
