Now that is really nasty... >.>
His legs look like women legs, too
BIZARRE, especially if you read the article -- the man photographed hates Photoshopped bodies.
Somehow I thought this would be tagged under Investment Funds... of course, there's nothing in investment funds any more these days...
Monobutt is a real condition plaguing many photoshopped naked people, please support them.
Finally they found the perfect man for the monobutt girl!!!

there will be monobutt kids?
Gross!
They just couldn't stop themselves from beautifying the real blemishes of the human body...
It's not just his butt that's missing. I'm surprised he's not screaming in pain.
david,
i have to agree. to be honest, i found it a bit discriminatory that monobutt girl is investment funds and yet a guy gets tagged ewwwww. as a gay man i've seen plenty of 'shopped half naked girls here and personally i would have classified those under ewwww.
looks like these art directors must have some real strange anatomy!
...As a lesbian, I actually think he's hotter this way.
Being the person who took this photo... I can tell you, nothing is photoshopped in this image. Which I suppose changes it from a "photoshop disaster" to a "disaster"
Also... How big do people think buttholes are? I suppose the tucked-away nuts are more of an issue. It's amazing what you can do WITHOUT photoshop.
It's Ken!
Tucker: The Man and His Dream
A HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Formerly a casting director, the 35-year-old bristles at a standard of beauty he calls “airbrushed” and “Photoshopped.”
Ironic that his picture landed up here.
I don't think it looks Photoshopped, it's just a funny pose. Does it remind anyone else of the Bonsai Kittens?
I didn't know it was possible to tuck that much... amazing what you learn on the interweb.
oh lord
Now that's about as stupid as it gets.
If you don't want to show dicks, don't publish photos of barenaked men.
Sheesh!
I don't think it looks Photoshopped, it's just a funny pose.
Yeah, like totally.
ok so I can see how you would hide his 'stuff', but what about his buttcrack where'd that go??
Where are his balls? Creepy. Creepy, creepy. creepy. C r e e p y. Icky nasty, girly man nasty. Ewwww. Just plain disgusting. But, wouldn't it be much, much worse if his puny balls WERE there?
It isn't the "tucked-up nuts" that make everyone think it is photoshopped, and it isn't that people believe he has a humongous butthole.....he doesn't appear to have any crack though, and either was shopped or, the pose would indicate that his crack is...slightly off center, if hidden by his legs. think of that and tell me you don't see where the Ewwww comes from.
We're all veterans of the internet. We know how big buttholes are, Eric, and we've all seen "Silence of the Lambs" so 'nad tuckage isn't the issue, either.
It's not just that the nethers are missing, it's that there is no curve to the buttocks where you'd expect there to be one. You can see the curve of his bodily contours elsewhere so it's not a matter of lighting or poor resolution.
I assumed the "ewwwwww" was for the poor guy getting digitally turned into a Ken-doll.
Why isn't this tagged "investment funds"?
What would be art for some, on the cover of the Advocate would just be enticement to buy. Just sayin', half the demographic who reads this magazine knows a lot about what's missing from this picture... and it matters to them. :)
Oh, and Eric... where did you hide his candy, if this isn't PS'd?
Wow his neck has more texture than his non genital area.
THIS IS DISTURBING ON SO MANY LEVELS :'(
... he confesses. “I’m happy with my body, but it’s not perfect.”
Quote just above the pic in the original page.
Man, there is soooo much wrong with this...
Alex said "BIZARRE, especially if you read the article -- the man photographed hates Photoshopped bodies."
I thought maybe the photo is intended as really subtle irony, but that's probably giving them too much credit.
Talk about taking the snip too far!
it's true, this dude has no dick
Where are his investment funds? I think you know what a cu is!
to alex, who wondered if there would be monobutt kids: no, I don't think he can procreate, unless he keeps his genitals in a different place than the rest of us.
How exactly does he take a dump?
Never mind--on second thought I don't want to know.
This picture will make some gay guys turn straight, and now there will be EVEN MORE competition for the chicks!!
as much as i hate to admit it, i think this is a more of an editing disaster.... i cant believe i took the time to figure this out either, but if his junk is up near his stomach, his foot is probably blocking view of his crack.
still horrible, horrible image selection. i'm sure they had hundreds of shots to choose from, and a bunch of well paid professional people chose this as the image that would run in the mag/ on the web. really crap stuff The Advocate. get your shit together.
I don't know how to respond directly to one person's comments on here, so to "mushroom" I say -- I did no "candy manipulating" in person or in computer. I believe the method used by the model was the surprisingly effective "tuck" method.
I love that of any photograph I've ever taken, this is the one that's gotten the most attention. I did just publish a shot of a $500,000 diamond-encrusted watch on an erect penis, but no, the lack-of-asshole and weird shading from the reflection of light off the floor shot is what gets the attention. Rock.
To satisfy my own curiosity, I just looked at the raw files in lightroom, and no, the Advocate did not apply any airbrushing, nor did I. The whole concept (at least to me) was that people should be shown "as-is" though in this case, some burning/contouring in post would have made it look less frightening to y'all.
My apologies to Chad (the model) who has been a good sport, but even he is like "what the F, did you airbrush that?"
This makes me think I should start up a whole fetish website about lack of taint and bunghole. I'd be rich I tell you... RICH!
What's wrong with you folks? Nothing is photoshopped, and it's a beautiful picture of a beautiful man. Pull your heads out of your own tushies!
Oh, please. He's gorgeous. You people are insane.
To Roballen:
maybe he is saving his genitals in the investiment funds. :)
But the truth is , the number of monobutt people are growing , so they are somehow procreating!
And sorry my ENGRISH , im still try to learn!!
well apparently it's a tuck job. I'll say no more...!
do you know what annoys me more?
That an article about body fascism just uses an excuse to print naked pics. Of a guy who's not unattractive. Wouldn't it have been better to either a) take pictures of normal people of different sizes and ages or b) have him clothed?
Well, actually this is just a puff piece (pun intended :-P)
Really as a gay man and photographer I'm really fed up of gay = naked. I say I'm a photographer and people expect me to take nudes. Grr. It's not original anymore and it's just tacky.
And a 500k watch on a penis? Oh FFS.
He's adorable. I'd do him.
i assume brian (who can't believe he took the time to figure out that it isn't photoshoped) took the time to sit naked in front a mirror and recreate the pose.
if i was a guy, i'd have tried it myself.
Typical of the internet, everyone writes comments but no one reads comments.
Eric, thanks for your interesting comments. It's an indictment on the industry that anything that looks a bit weird is accused of being photoshopped.
Tama: I read his words, silly goose. And his response. Still sounds unbelieveable but stranger things have happened.
Eric: Thanks for the further info. I won't doubt you, I'll just call it sheer luck... the opposite of catching a UFO in the background when taking a snapshot of someone. :) And good luck with your "missing goodies" website. ;-)
Thanks, powers that be, for the "investment funds". :)
ZOMG!!! where is his buttcrakc!!!one
guys it's behind his FOOT. Mystery solved, Photoshop is acquitted.
It does look disturbing yes, but that doesn't make it a photoshop disaster, unless you want them to 'shop it back in...
Awesome.

Hey Chad, I share the same body type and I have lifted, walked, run and even tried steriods, [...]
So it's not Photoshop it's kind of "Man V 2.0" :-)
i will never unsee this
Wow. He had his crack removed. Or not, if you believe Eric, the David Copperfield of male anatomy.
what the duck! honestly...
holy shit, i know that guy! never saw his ass, tho, and this must be why!
No butt...
xD
Okay... so the photographer says his crack is behind his foot... I've been staring at this picture for ten minutes and I can't figure out for the life of me WHICH FOOT the crack could be behind. Neither foot is anywhere near the center-line of his body. And did he tuck up or down?!! It's like some kind of crazy Escher drawing - impossible!
Well, it seems like he's gay, at least he sits like a lady.. i don't know..and he doesn't have a butt? his boyfriend must be so bored.
Miss Hyde
So, Eric, I got to wondering, if this photo is unretouched, how it is that the weird blood vessel pattern on his upper thigh so closely resembled the weird blood vessel pattern on his non-crotch. And I saved the pic and blew it up and low and behold, in the blown up shot, you can CLEARLY see where a butthole has been (poorly) blurred out. So save the righteous indignation, mkay?
My good lord... As previously stated, if you would like to come to the studio and see the original, you are more than welcome to.
It's not retouched, so I s'pose it should end up on a different "disasters" blog... But thank you for the 15 seconds...
SERIOUSLY??!
Must...stop... laughing
thanks
