Poll: Buddy's bare-ass pictures

As most of my regular readers know, I LOVE posting semi-nekkid pics of myself.   I plan to submit one of these six pics to the Aussielicious Photography Challenge: the self - portrait.    Aussielicious was one of the very first sites I visited when I started my coming-out journey so many years ago.

So far, the submissions for the challenge are these:  one, two three/ four, five and six.   I think my pics compare reasonably well with these ones, don't you?  Except for the fact all the other guys are hot and slim, not dumpy and middle-aged like me.

But I can't decide which picture I like the most.  I need help!!

 Please vote for your favourite picture of me in the poll to the right.  I will submit the winner to the Aussielicious challenge.

    #1 for me. BTW, WTF are you complaining about re: your self-image? I'm going on 63 and from my vantage point, you are SMOKIN HOT!!

    Like you, I was also late to the party having come out at the ripe age of 58. Life wasn't as GAY as I had imagined, so as so well-stated on ManHunt, my goal was to 'get on and get off'..which believe it or not, was the place I met my partner/man of my dreams.

    Love your blog... keep up the good work!!

    I like #3 the most because it shows off your EXCELLENT and SEXY body best.
    In #1 you body it too hidden and hiding your face like that seems shameful (I know you're not).

    I would make a suggestion. Do #1 exactly the same but use the Mountie's hat cover your cock and the close the top slats of the blinds to shade your face. You can then see if it looks better with you gazing down or out the window. Also, try to take the pics while erect. I know nothing will be shown BUT being hard will have subtle changes in you body and posture that is not perceived by the eye but will be by the mind.

      Thanks Sean, for your extravagant praise! I will try your suggestions but taking self-pics is a huge hassle.

      Starting the camera's timer and then racing to get the pose and lighting just right is very difficult. That is why I hope to have a professional 'erotic' photo shoot this year.

      These pictures were backlit with many candles which provide a soft glow. Camera flash give a terrible, harsh light. Your suggestion about taking pics while erect is very interesting and I'd like to try it. I'd need to have a sexy man in the room (or kiss and fondle one) and I'd be as hard as rock. So far, I've only taken these pictures by myself.

    #2 or #4 are my favorites. The shadows are great and your body looks perfect in the sillouette.

    #1 and #3. Why so shy? And dumpy and middle-aged? You need to spend more time in front of the mirror doing affirmations, dude! - Uptonking from Wonderland Burlesque

    Upton King, whkattk, Two Lives and anne marie: thanks for offering your opinions and for your kind comments! When I say "dumpy", I'm just thinking about how I used to look 2 years ago when I weighted 15 pounds less. I know I'm not seriously overweight.

    Upton: I'm not shy in the slightest! I'm a school teacher so I will never post a face / naked body picture of myself online.

    Why not have one of your young men take your photo? A photo taken with a lustful eye will add to the 'artistry' of the photo!

      What an excellent idea! I'd have no trouble having a stiff cock for the pic if one of my 22 year-old hotties was the photographer. No kidding!!

    Cheers from a chilly Toronto as we brace for a storm coming.
    I don't know whether or not chiming in now is timely enough to matter for submission, though in retrospect, enjoying the images is time well spent, but I think #4 has the most impact.
    Forgive me in advance, but I'm forever using today's tools to tweak a good pic & make it possibly better. On that confession, I applied a few tweaks to #4, offset cropping & minor exposure adjustment & wanted to send it back to you, somehow - of course it goes no where else as you really own the rights. Get back to me if you like, otherwise I'll delete it out of cyber respect. Though pretty much anything personal you post never really stays that way, you had a specific purpose in mind for those images. Ciao. John. Ps, You can find me @ bel-vista.tumblr.com

    Chuckle. Will do. It's just subtle changes, but not too subtle as to neglect highlighting your best ass-ets.
    I'll get to that shortly... PS, aside from a fine looking form, I'd say your refreshingly candid & heartfelt blog journey is a great insight to the man inside the nice form. 😘
