This playful image seems to recognise the special, inviolable status that a uniform has for it's wearer, but subverts it by showing him sweating with anxiety, or perhaps it's excitement, as the tailor's hands hover in the vicinity of his crotch. It's difficult to tell if the tailor's 'Asian-wink' is showing puzzlement, contempt at the absurdity of the soldier's sensitivity or is an aside to the viewer signalling his intention to embarrass the soldier even more with the classic, Inside Leg Measurement manoeuvre.

This image of course reworks a tailoring scenario made famous by Tom of Finland in the 60's

This image explores a similar embarrassment but this time it's the lustful stare of the chunky specimen at the adjacent urinal that is discomforting the military man (or is he a cop?). He's had to lower his trousers to get his dick out and it's exposed his white underwear and glimpses of butt cheek, a pose which makes his uniform seem less than intimidating.

I'm a sucker (as it were) for men in snugly-fitting, white underwear.

This military man seems to be rueing giving in to his impulses, but although we see him lying on a bed bottom up, it's not clear how far he has actually gone, his natty underpants look pristine at this point. If he's been picked up by a hulk like the one in the picture above though, it's possible he's irreversibly committed anyway, I suppose. In which case it's another example of a brave serviceman showing fear in the face of an invader.

Uniforms are an irresistible attraction to many of us but I hope we wouldn't all go to these lengths to demonstrate our interest. The object of desire here seems to be a paratrooper judging by his badge and they are usually credited with being exceptionally well trained to look after themselves behind enemy lines. This Bluto-like character may find he's bitten off more than he can chew.

Of course it's probably just a couple of playful chums.

This tells the other side of the story with the soldier living up to the promise offered by his uniform - demonstrating power, assertiveness and a handy weapon. The intimidating hulk proves to be more sensitive and complicated than he looks.

This picture is a further variation on the eroticism of violating the sanctity of uniforms 
but I certainly can't accuse this one of lacking courage.

Two cops amuse themselves by employing their batons for a ball-beating challenge instead of using them to direct traffic. It's one of a series, a later picture shows one of them reflecting on the mound it has produced in his trousers.

This picture with it's painful test of manhood and the artist's curious way of depicting eyes, plus the cropped hair in earlier pictures reminds me very much of the Art of Andy Warlord who I plan to feature here in the new year. 

Even service men are allowed to have their own secret desires. At first sight it appears this one has been overpowered and gagged by some predator but the artist reveals to us that he has a secret fetish. Hidden beneath his uniform is a set of leather fetish regalia. We might suppose from his gag that he likes to be dominated in the uniquely ritualistic way that is leather S&M.

This curious way of trying to show erotic things that are normally hidden is a phenomenon that seems to be a particular feature of Asian art. It's more commonly used add explicitness in showing sexual penetration but this is a more interesting application. In effect it's trying to show us what goes on inside this man's mind. A sort of ying and yang image, although you might argue that a man in uniform is the embodiment of submission to a master anyway. The leather thongs merely add an explicit erotic dimension.

This image carries the same message, but less subtly. Ordinarily daubings like this are applied by someone else as a demonstration of their power, so the undressing action here is an act of voluntary submission in response to that. 

A man in the act of undressing always makes an interesting picture and this one cleverly combines two examples of that particularly sexy moment when the fastenings are undone and begin  to reveal what is underneath. In this case it includes an intriguing jockstrap with a military green waistband and a blue pouch covered with patterns which are vaguely reminiscent of camouflage but strangely suggestive of contents that are extremely interesting and full. Notice how the lower edge of the waistband detours round the mound. Nice.

There's a powerful sense of submission here too. A salacious detail is obscured on the left, but for me the main interest lies in the soldier's arching torso, bursting out of his uniform in a vivid demonstration of the real human inside. The depiction of his groin area is beautifully detailed but commendably restrained.

This is a great beefcake picture that combines the power imagery of a uniform with the accentuated masculinity of highly developed muscles. However, this image also seems to show there's a rather different, youthful and somewhat innocent creature within. He has just knelt at the altar of another man, communed and been duly anointed. This is the embarrassing comic aftermath and you get the impression that it wasn't exactly what he was expecting. 

Life is full of unexpected lessons!

Navy whites seem to have gone out of fashion as homoerotic dress but I personally am as entranced by them as ever I was in my youth (as you might guess from my current Royale obsession). I'm glad to see that Team52Crazy is carrying on the tradition.

Like the preceding image, there's a sense of experimentation here, with shades of Oztangles in the cum-splattered mirror. Bathroom selfies crop up in this artist's work quite often which reflects the modern day proliferation of such images on the internet. There's something quite sexy in this form of narcissism with it's overtones of private moments, modest men revealing their secret vanity and - in shared bathrooms - the lurking possibility of a stranger bursting in at the wrong moment.

In this picture one wonders just who was responsible for decorating the mirror so impressively, was it the selfie-taker or someone else who has left his mark behind for an admirer just as this? 

I don't speak Thai but the phone message in  this cartoon appears to be pointing out the relative merits of consuming different lengths of bananas (or something). The puzzlement of the butch-looking recipient is sexy but I'm not sure I know why!
