The Cock (Kiss)

You've seen it elsewhere and I've posted this picture before. Wolfgang Tillmans is the German photographer who took the 2002 image called The Cock (Kiss). Taken at a gay nightclub in London, it's an intimate, close-up image of two men kissing. Though it's 20 years old, the image's power continues to resonate: Following the 2016 mass shootings at Pulse nightclub, it made viral rounds on the internet. The Cock (Kiss) explores themes often found in Tillmans' photographs: youth, innocence, and joy. It's also the cover image for the novel by Douglas Stuart -- Young Mungo -- I'm wrapping up.

READ THIS!

IT'S ART APPRECIATION! This is a blog for expanding awareness and understanding in artistic, educational, and scientific contexts of why natural is hottest and best, encouraging camaraderie among fellow naturalists, and standing up to the tyranny of manscaping! ;-)

ADULTS ONLY (minimum age 18-21 depending on where you are) who choose to enter and view for art appreciation, entertainment, and increased awareness. It contains explicit adult language and images.

DO NOT SCROLL DOWN unless you are of legal age in your local jurisdiction to view such material. If you are not of legal age or live somewhere with medieval laws, this ain’t the place for you. Back off. Leave. Go home!

Okay, if you're legal and still here, click on the pix to see 'em full size. By scrolling down and viewing any image, you acknowledge that you are of legal age to view explicit adult content where you live and that you choose to view explicit adult content for your own personal, private entertainment and broadening of your artistic horizons.

No kids, no commercials, no selling. No comments attacking other posters. Good dose of progressive politics, interesting articles, and funnies. Have a great time!

THE FINE PRINT

This blog is for entertainment purposes only. It contains adult-oriented images, fiction, and explicit language. There is zero tolerance for content that exploits children and no content that encourages or promotes sexual attraction towards children.

Images have been collected from free Internet websites. Neither photographs, written material, nor other media should be construed as anything except art appreciation, nor indicative of any person’s identity, sexual orientation, occupation, or conduct. The terms "boy" and "boys" refer to gender only, not age, and all images are assumed to be of legal age adults.

BTW, one of the dumbest things I know is people downloading millions of pix a year from the Internet onto blogs and websites and labeling them as their own. If you didn’t take the picture or own the rights, it doesn’t belong to you and you shouldn't be putting your label on it. But if you are the copyright owner of an image you see here and you want it removed, just let me know in a comment and it’s gone.
