The Wild Ones: The Erotic Photography of Mel Roberts

Rating:
Summary: Time Capsule to an earlier time of male nudity
Review: Mel Roberts has been photographing young men for decades. This book and its companion book - California Boys - document the state of erotic male photographs from an earlier era...a simpler era.
Not only are the photographs excellent, but their value as a time capsule of erotica from an earlier era is notable. Today, we see nothing but photos on billboards, in magazines, on television and on the big screen of men and women who are the epitome of physical perfection. To achieve such perfection requires hours and hours of unabated gym time as well as a good dose of steroids. Mel Roberts' young men are often natural, though sometimes defined. However, never are they examples of health through deprivation or drug induced excess.
These are young men who Mel Roberts' discovered in his neighborhood and through his travels.
Very erotic, but nothing like you will see today, Wild Ones is a great cocktail book for the discerning man or woman...or it is a great book to have sequestered away for a naughty march down memory lane.
