I remember that photo session as if it were yesterday. I walked into the studio and there he was: a mastodon with the smile of a child and an irresistible roundness, which we had affectionately nicknamed 'Lion King' for that black mane that crowned his sparkling face. At 28, he defied the standards with his prominent belly that he proudly exhibited, far from hiding it, under that black leotard that clung to his skin without asking for permission.
The contrast caught my eye: muscles of a colossus on a base of an ordinary man, with a belly that lent him a more human, approachable air. It didn't take away an apex of his power, on the contrary, it seemed like every curve of that belly was a seal of his overflowing masculinity. With the proper lighting, I asked him a special favor: 'Please, raise your hand and show that armpit jungle,' it was an essential part of the ritual. He got comfortable, but the photograph also needed his hairy chest, a wild thicket that framed nipples that invited sin.
As I focused my lens, I caught his complicit glance. I noticed how his fingers toyed with the leotard, seeking the strategically placed opening that would unleash his beastliness. "Come on, Frolicsome," I encouraged, "leave them gaping." His big hand ran down the shaft of his member, and what a member... A powerful cock, sprinkled with branched veins like the roots of an ancient oak, with two hanging testicles that seemed like two worlds to explore.
And then, with delicacy, like one opening an exotic flower, pulled back the foreskin revealing a glans of a pink that rivaled the best of artworks. The camera captured every detail, and I, behind the lens, could feel the temperature of the room rise.
That perfect mix of brute force and teddy bear tenderness was what captivated me. Each shot of my camera was a tribute to his essence; each image, a revelation of his overwhelming magnetism that no stigma could dim. 'Lion King', with his tight black garment and his unrestrained cock, reigned supreme in that studio, and for a moment, in the entire universe.
