45-year-old naturist David in London got in touch over the summer to offer himself as a model — he's very handsome and well hung — and let us know about his naked dance night, Nudity, which he does with his best mate, Paul. When we heard they were doing a foam party, we immediately sent BUTT photographer Devin Blair down to Vauxhall for his own atmospheric take on the club night.

Barklay from Toronto, Canada loves the sensation of the warm breeze on his back. And a grueling hike... He and his man went road-tripping somewhere in the neighborhood of the so-called Grand Staircase of mesmerizing rock formations in the great state of Utah. You know, where all the Mormons live.

The pre-internet age of gay-interest classifieds and mail order is sadly over, but that doesn't mean we cannot revisit some of those generous offers from the glorious back pages of, say, Blueboy — or In Touch or Numbers or Mandate — magazine. Here we present a selection of ten must-haves from their sticky back pages.

Tony likes skinny guys and guys who are taller than him. He also likes good haircuts and piercings and sometimes tattoos... That's what Tony's into. And body hair can be hot. Tony's boyfriend isn't too hairy, but Tony is so it evens things out.

Hello mister! Yes, that's a previously unseen image of Arpad 'your Hungarian daddy's gonna make all your wet dreams come true' Miklos by Terry Richardson from BUTT 24. At BUTT Headquarters, we're always coming across hot shots from the archive that we couldn't squeeze into the issue. So we thought why not share the wealth, and maybe provide a bit of a stud-update on where they're at now.

Last week, Adam and his redheaded beau Matt discovered this picturesque waterfall in Solstice Canyon near Malibu, California. They spent the whole day there, actually, splashing about with their puppy Bogart and basking in its gentle streams and plunge pool.

Dave Butt is a British photographer (featured in BUTT 29) who has been making erotic portraits of men since the late '80s.

Jan, 25, and Malte, 25, who refer to themselves as 'just common gay guys', study fine art at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art. There students may do a kind of artist retreat in the tiny village of Sauen, just east of the Scharmützelsee in former East Germany. One night, they went for a walk with nothing but a camera and a flashlight...

Peter de Rome
Interview by

Devin Blair
BUTT - Derome_revise_web

Born in 1924, Peter de Rome didn’t start making gay pornographic films until he was in his forties. In 1971, eight of his cerebral and often bizarre shorts were officially released as 'The Erotic Films of Peter de Rome'. Peter then found himself with a following that included Andy Warhol (who he coolly said no to when approached to make 'a Warhol film') John Gielgud and William Burroughs. Most of his 8mm films were shot guerrilla-style in public with little or no budget, for just the cost of the stock. He stopped making porn in the early 80s, but these days Peter's films are finding a new audience. I met him backstage at the British Film Institute in London.

Documentary photo lovers in the Lone Star State of Texas will want to check out 'Alvin Baltrop: Dreams Into Glass' at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. It's the first major exhibition of work by the bi-curious, eagle-eyed African-American photographer. The three month summer survey features photos from his stint in the navy from 1969 to 1972, as well as some of his explorations of NYC's cruisy piers in the 1970s.

I first read author Kevin Killian's sexy, but horrific short story 'Spreadeagle' in Bob Glück's writing class at college back in 1992. Kevin recently told me his intention back then was 'to write stories that would be novels in themselves — miniature novels'. Twenty years on, an entire book has grown up around that story which now sits at the center of a two-part novel of the same name.

Artist Jimmy Wright moved to New York in 1974 at the age of thirty with a nest egg to get him through life in the big city for two years. He passed his time screwing around, doing odd jobs and making erotic drawings from memory based on what he observed at the bath houses, leather bars and tearooms which were so active back then.
