Tom of Finland: Leather bar initiation
If there’s one man who changed the course of queer men’s fantasies forever, it’s erotic illustrator Tom of Finland. His influence over the aesthetics of gay sex continues to this day and is sure to last long into the future. For the first time, Men.com is partnering with Tom of Finland, with the help of some of today’s best artists and directors, to bring Tom’s most iconic sexual visions to life. In part 1, a classic TOF outdoor scenario set in 1957, birdwatcher Theo Brady is caught spying on fisherman Kurtis Wolfe, and watches Kurtis submit to muscular uniformed cop Matthew Camp before joining for a threesome. In part 2, Matthew Camp, Ricky Roman, River Wilson, and D’Angelo Jackson get greased up to bring Tom’s beloved Kake comic story, “Service Station,” to life. In Part 3, Nate Grimes, Kurtis Wolfe, Dirk Caber, and Jaxx Thanatos enact the wet-dream-like tale of a young man’s erotic transformation into a leather man, earning each piece of his outfit one fuck at a time. Part 4 is a present-day tribute to Tom’s legacy, as Joey Mills and four of his favorite twinks explore the erotic playground at Tom’s house, embodying the evolution of the gay scene. Part 5 projects Tom’s vision into the future in an avant-garde orgy mixing masculine and feminine elements, always inflected by Tom’s iconic aesthetic.
