The Naked Guys in Old Photos Are Still Naked, Beautiful

BRIAN-O-BRIEN

Pornography is all about the new. People need fresh faces, different movies, more photos to get them off. It's great that a French gallery is going back in time to show off some erotica from back in the gay.

The Au Bonheur du Jour gallery in Paris is hosting an exhibit through the end of June that features male nudes in both painting and photography from 1870 to present. While most of the rather old photos we saw online are simple muscular men, there is at least one image from before 1900 that shows men touching each other. The funny thing is that many of the body types are exactly what you'd find in a Falcon release or a Sean Cody video today. The only dead giveaway is the hair. Of course there are plenty of other images from today that recall the throwbacks from the past, like the photography of Biron (above) which as done more recently. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of flying to France, but if any nice gentleman wants to take us, we know where we can see some arty porn!
