This is a collection of deviations showing real Pinups in the classic Retro poses from various Artists. For the 4rd time I present a variation of Vintage Pinup Queens as well as fresh modern Pinup art. If you love Polkadots, seamed Nylons, Plateau-Heels and and Miles-long-legs you should not miss this collection.
For some reason, there still seems to be an idea of the 'evil penis' in art. We live in such an open minded time, but some reason reason the idea that it is acceptable to photograph the female form nude, yet it is crude or disgusting to photograph the naked male body. Every body is beautiful in its own way, so here are a selection of some of the incredible male nudes I have found on deviantart.
And here are some stamps designed to support the art of the male body.
Great feature; you've selected some amazing photographs.
The penis is a very charged topic, and I've noticed that many male nudes posted seem to either shy away from showing the penis or focus excessively to the point of getting the work banned - but it shouldn't be so vilified.
there's a double standard at work here, no doubt. i've seen quite a few female nudes banned too, though. i think it's sexuality that gives the censors the jitters more than body parts, at least in general. as long as the evil penis is not perceived as threatening, it's probably pretty safe. HOWEVER... i don't like censors making that distinction for me. excellent photos, btw!
You've found some serious goodies here! I cruise the artistic nudes very often and have an appreciation for both male and female artistic nudes, but let me also say... and I'm sure you realized this while putting this together that there really are seriously lower numbers of "artistic nudes" from the male side of things. There is a number of reasons for that, IMO.
Would be great to see the numbers balanced out more but it needs to start at the submission level (within the artistic nude guidelines.) I don't think it's necessarily that the admins are getting rid of all the male nudes and keeping the female ones.
Regardless, this is a fantastic selection of what an artistic male nude can be!

Yeah it took me a very long time to compile these by browsing the artistic nude section, in the end I spent a long time searching using keywords instead, but I found some real gems so I'm happy
I totally agree with your statement "the idea that it is acceptable to photograph the female form nude, yet it is crude or disgusting to photograph the naked male body"
I find it ridiculous that a penis is what comes in the way of great photography.
In movies, with the exception of porn, you never see a penis, yet you always see a womans whole body! I appreciate nude art, whether it's male or female!
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

It's okay to be your own worst critic.
