Oh Noes, Da Man Junk!
I never thought I would call “that special part of a man,” as the enhancement commercials refer to it, as man junk. I’m just too fond of penises, and all the fun that’s possible with a willing one…..provided it’s attached to a decent guy of course.
Not that I’m automatically dissing the guy in this photo, you understand. It isn’t his fault that the picture-taker obviously forgot to check the background when composing this shot:
But I can see (Ha!) where someone would look at that picture and call his goods “man junk.” The lesson here is always check the background of your photo before taking the shot. And have a good telephoto lens handy in case you see something that looks interesting!!
[Isn’t that a nice way to push that icky speculum diagram down the page? I’m still cringing.]

Naaah, can you see it’s on purpose? Look at the wicked grin on everyone’s face — they knew that! :)
JUNK?? Where the hell did that ever come from? You kids got it all fucked up. Don’t ya be calling my family jewels junk, thank you.
Somehow, I think the photographer KNEW it was in the shot. But that’s me. And yeah…. that qualifies as ‘man junk’.
Icky? You show me floppy sunburned man junk and then speak to me of icky? The nerve!
;-)
Well now, that is kinda random. But it is the internet. I have seen entire web sites devoted to the random “junk flash” if you get my meaning.
Different strokes and such.
Last spring in Shanghai I caught something in the background just before I snapped the shot: A father holding up her little daughter to let her pee in a pond.
Tom, I hate that phrase too and this will probably be the only time I ever use it.
Everybody that’s claiming the picture is on purpose, unless you have proof, let’s not go there. I’ve seen big grins like that for other reasons, and yeah, I don’t know that it was an accident either. I’ll fix that part.
Bacchus, the comments on your post notwithstanding, I’m a gal that’s never enjoyed the cold clinical feel of a speculum, so anything was better than having that drawing at the top of the page. :-P
i always thought of “junk” as a heroin euphemism… and i really can’t see the connection between heroin and penis, unless its something about injecting fluid?
I know how Bacchus hates speculation, but being as everyone else is doing it, I thought I would weigh in with my own thoughts (so that centuries from now, when scholars are studying the early days of the internet and the history of sexuality…)
Starting somewhere in the early nineties, probably with the advent of the commercially available digital camera, people (mostly young gen-Xers), started to take naughty pictures that weren’t for porn reproduction, but more as personal inside jokes. A co-worker would ask the boss or another co-worker to pose for a snapshot while yet another co-worker would secretly pose in the background with his cock out of his pants, or flashing her tits, or mooning, whereas in the past, most people were a bit inhibited about having such photos developed at the local pharmacy.
This trend seemed to quickly morph into taking snapshots of friends, wives, husbands, etc. posed in various sexual positions with statues of people or animals, often to be shared over the internet.
Beach photos, such as the one depicted above, are yet another development that has gotten even more popular with the advent of the photo cell phone.
When done “right” (or for maximum effect), the object is to have the subject in the foreground appearing as serious as possible, if not actually oblivious.
It’s along the lines of pranks like being rick-rolled, duckrolled, or flash-mobbing, or “stealing” someone’s pink flamingo lawn ornament and mailing or e-mailing them a photo of it enjoying a vacation on the beach.
In this case, even though in the photo itself the figure may seem minimal, it’s rather difficult to beleive that a group of people on the beach, who were themselves fully dressed, would not be aware of a totally naked sunbather literally a stone’s throw away from them, or that the photographer would not have been fully aware. The one thing that is heavier into the realm of doubt in this instance, is whether or not the “nudist” himself was actually a knowing accomplice or the oblivious subject of the prank.
Downloading some stranger’s photo (like the one above), onto your computer or cell phone and sending it to a friend along with a text message along the lines of “Guess where I am! I’m at the beach with four or my friends…”, is yet another level of “rickrolling”.
Whiplash, I’ve got nothing at all against speculation. What frosts my Wheaties is people presenting their speculation as certain fact, as an aggressive rhetorical device.
Thanks for not doing that. ;-)
The only thing wrong with this pic is that four people are wearing clothes.
