Nicholos Reprise - For Paul in Athens

Bruce, a New Yorker now living in Venice and blogging Not so different, recently commented on my post 'My Grandmother and Antinous and Gay Sex':

'The ancients had a comfort with the human body that the Christian world has lost. Even the Renaissance couldn't put it back. It's as though with the advent of Christinity, western man had eaten the same apple as Adam and Eve, and were thrown out of the garden.'

His view is reflected in nature of the representations of sex, and gay sex, on ancient Greek vases and coins:

So why is Nickolos so coy about a free and easy full monty?









I keep wanting the next photo in the shoot! The one where Nickolos drops his underwear. The look on his face says teasingly 'I'm thinking about it'!

But he just moons us:

Not such a terrible second prize!
