Love muscle guys wrestling, especially long holds where muscles strain. The best picture of a bearhug was the one I saw on a trip to Windsor Castle in Great Britain. Apart from the castle tour we viewed the Queens private collection of Da Vinci sketches. Was I delighted to see one sketch of Hercules/Herakles and Antaeus? Of course. It featured a reverse bearhug with Antaeus being squeezed around his midsection by Herc. They were nude and they were beautiful. Think of the Tom of Finland men but in this case Da Vincis men were so realistic they could have walked out of the picture. On a subsequent visit to England and the castle, to my dismay the collection was on loan to another city. If you get the chance to see it, do so.
Profile pic added Jan 2011: There are only about two pictures of me shirtless. This one taken around twenty years ago. It is after my bodybuilding days. The other pic of me shirtless I just added Sept 2016 from when I was nineteen. Two other photos are current. |
