Erotic Photos With a Healthy Helping of Romance

So much porn imagery these days is like a random hook-up between guys who just need to get off. It's hot and all, and mirrors the sex life of us dudes crawling around Craigslist at 1am. At heart, we're old fashioned romantics who want an old fashioned wedding. Thank goodness for photographer Daniel Skinner, who brings tender romance to his sexy naked photos.

Heavenly photos of men cuddling in bed, lightly kissing and caressing each other add a vastly differently eroticism than seeing two dudes banging the hell out of each other poolside. The sex is there, but so is the love, the warmth, those cheesy tender thoughts of waking up and cooking pancakes and bacon with your dream man (or yoghurt and a power shake for you health queens). Skinner's photos highlight the subtleties of sexual love. The soft kiss on the shoulder, the admiring look at a sleeping lover, the hand resting on the thigh.

Awww... now we want to delete our Manhunt and go out and find our special beau. This winter, there's a fireplace and fur rug calling our name.
