    Built for pleasure.

    Find out how to meet the models in this book below.

    Blade T. Bannon, a model turned photographer, knows his way around a man's body. We think his 2016 hardbound photo book, Built for Pleasure, is certainly worth a second look. maybe even more. Bannon collaborated with some of San Francisco's sexiest men to create images that satisfied both the photographer and the subject.

    Bannon says, "My focus during the photo sessions was capturing each model being them self. When it came to clothing, I asked them to choose the things they liked or felt sexy wearing. Many times this would involve a change into something more adventurous or playful."

    You can buy the book at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

    Check out Blade's website for more information and links to his previous books. Photos from Blade's other books, Daddy Hunt, Hair, and Turnon: Muscles, are also included here to drive you crazy.
