This is probably the reason why I don't have a Facebook account...
... and why I'm thinking to delete my quite unused MySpace one.

Do you remember my post about the next exhibition of Paul Richmond and his Cheesecake Boys? Michael will be one of the gaylebrities that will model as Cheesecake Boys and he posted a funny picture on his Facebook fan page:
and yes, I'm reposting it not under the cut. I don't have anything against nudity, and people that frequent my Man Candy posts well know that, but if there is a full frontal nudity I put it under a cut. In this case, I will not, but not since I want to be daring, but since I don't find the above picture "scandalous". There is only an hint of cheeks, no butt crack, I even find it more thoughtful than sexy.
As I said in my comment on Michael's post, I don't like the majority of people on those media, so I'm not surprised that a woman, who was in the list of Michael's friends (!) asked for the picture to be removed... but that Facebook actually did it? They don't have a thinking mind? There is porn and there is art, and all right, sometime there is a subtle line between them, but not in the case above.
So I will state it here, profiting of Michael's disaventure: I will post pictures of naked men (or women if I like), but if it's a full frontal nude, I will put it under a cut. If not, I will post it as above. Friends, you will have to trust me and my judgement.

Alex did a great article on the subject over here:

I really wish some attractive, enterprising young men would go into business for themselves. There's a model who sells pics of himself (alone and with models) specifically aimed at romance cover designers--but he won't do m/m poses.
For a model or actor who wants to get his face (and other attributes) out in print and build a reputation, small-press could be a real boon in the way of free publicity. He/they wouldn't make much off each picture, but it'd be pizza money, at least.
