I'm not good enough.' There are a lot of body image issues that men have as a result of this idea of'I don't look good naked. They think, 'People don't want to see me. How it affects men is that they're never seen. It impacts women because we're always striving for a standard that is set by men. How have you seen these ideas impact men and women? If they're not gay, men want to see naked women, so that's what we see, and women are taught that in order to be considered desirable, a man has to think you're hot. Most of the stuff is societal, but it's societal through a male lens. Where do we get this idea that women aren't visual and people don't want to see men naked? There's this thought that women aren't triggered visually the same way men are.

Some people don't think nude men are attractive outside the gay community. So, if you see a penis, and especially if it's erect, you're automatically thinking 'sex.' And because of that, if people aren't thinking 'sex,' they don't want to see a naked man and they don't think it's pretty.

Some of it is people putting sex and nudity together all the time. Why is it that we don't normally see men this way? We don't usually see full-frontal, and if we do, it's usually a certain type of man, and not your average man.' People were like, 'We usually don't see men like this.

The responses I got to the images were a good trigger. I liked seeing male nudes, but I didn't see a lot of them. I wanted to add male nudes to my portfolio.
