One night in Berlin, Daniel had sex with this mysterious guy and then never saw him again. He hung around just long enough for Daniel to take this portrait from behind.

Ale, a teacher from a small town on the northeastern coast of Brazil, sent in this photo of himself on the kitchen floor in the midst of his pilates routine. He has been taking private pilates instruction for the past six years with a buddy (who also happens to be a fireman). Ale also keeps fit by jogging and swimming at the local beach.

An attentive and well-trained lifeguard (known as 'lifesavers' Down Under) can mean the difference between life and death. When that lifeguard happens to be as cute as 28-year-old Tom Bunting of Sydney, you almost want to fake your own drowning just so he'll drag you from the surf and perform mouth-to-mouth. In between posing for snap-happy tourists and keeping a watchful eye over popular Bondi beach, Tom talked me through shark attacks, jellyfish stings, and how he ends up with half the beach in his bed each summer.

Runner Victor has been accosted numerous times on buses from East L.A. to Beverly Hills because of his fit legs and short shorts. Victor is so tempting, such a troublemaker, really, in a pair of short shorts that his ex used to throw them in the garbage even.

Francisco works as house photographer for one of the most ubiquitous gay rags in London. You know the kind: lots of party pics of beauty ranchers blitzed-out on GHB, and pages and pages of escort ads. For some reason this portrait of Stefano didn’t make the cut.

Josh from Denver, Colorado has known Diego since about the time his balls dropped. He has very few inhibitions which makes him Josh's favorite photographic subject — his muse, you could say.

Originally from Tel Aviv, now living in Berlin, 26-year-old artist Daniel is working on a photographic series of working class guys, like the pizza delivery man, or this semi-nude fellow here, Shachar, assembling some IKEA flat-pack furniture.

19-year-old Pol, originally from the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains, sent this drawing in over the weekend from Paris where he's currently finishing up an internship at Bless. His manga-influenced illustration represents his understanding of love and relationships. Sometimes they're just the result of being horny.

Here, Adam plays a 21-string 'Emma' folk harp that was custom made for him in New Zealand. These days, he's based in Kington, UK where he runs a B&B where homosexuals are always very welcome.

As temperatures rise across the northern hemisphere some BUTT readers may find themselves suffering from (or rather enjoying) sweaty balls.

Like a lot of independent contractors in the US, Tom the carpenter in San Francisco was hit hard by the 2008 recession. Even as the economy slows, you'd never convince him to, say, come over to your Victorian home in the Castro and install a staircase naked. He did let Blake Little (who first brought Tom to our attention in his book, The Company of Men) shoot him in his woodshop. And he did talk to author, Kevin Killian, about surviving the downturn and where he gets his intense work ethic.

People never believe Josh when he tells them about his insane nights in Denver, so he got in the habit of documenting his bad-boy antics for his blog. As you can see, Josh keeps company with a gang of total exhibitionists. He's quite the bare-assed man himself.

According to Mohamad, gay life in Lebanon is at its peak these days: 'Testosterone is flowing all over...' He tells us that Beirut in particular is not nearly as overly discreet or secretive as you might think of a city in the Middle East. And then there's the cock...

Sergio is Jordi’s favorite random beach bum in Sitges, the resort town ‘con mucho ambiente’ just outside Barcelona. When he’s not working as a stylist, Jordi spends his free time making portraits of cute and hairy guys — the less clothes, the better.

With his online series of 'self portraits by others', Hunter of Boston, Massachusetts addresses 'perceptions about gay male body image'. He invites different artists to photograph him and keeps a chronicle of their shots on his blog. Angel has a flickr page, too.

KOTA KINABALU, MALAYSIA — I was on my way to have dinner with my roommate. When I arrived at the open air restaurant, there was a sudden power cut and the whole area fell into darkness. So I told my roommate that I was going to take a walk.

Lobo and his ride, Ramona, are ready for a cruise near the entrance of the world's biggest crusing grounds in Maspalomas on the island of Gran Canaria. When he's not being an easy rider, Lobo spends most of his time, 'brutally fucking my new cub — brutally loving him, too — and brutally wanking when he's not around...'

When César offered up his ass like that in this self-portrait we could hardly say no, I mean... just look at it. Originally from Peru, he's been living in Buenos Aires, Argentina for eight years now. One night, César set up his tripod and his camera and had a go at it. He thinks these kind of silky smooth vintage running shorts are hot as hell.

From the disclaimer-happy police state of Los Angeles, California, BUTT buddy John sends this snapshot of the posted rules at one of MJ's foam parties.

Twin Cities scatophiles, Thelma and Towanda, get off on exploring the caves, sewers, storm drains, sub-basements — basically anywhere underground they can squeeze their asses into — that lie below Minneapolis-Saint Paul in the great state of Minnesota.
