When famous designer Andrew Christian first envisioned his new book, Sex=Power=Freedom, his vision was simple: “it was going to be a book of my half-naked models,” he told Huffington Post. While the homoerotic images definitely feature the mostly bare, oiled-up, chiseled male models associated with his eponymous clothing brand, Christian hopes his book will be seen as more than another hot collection of male-on-male erotica. Following his successful Indiegogo campaign, the 200-page book isn’t just provocatively photographed sexy models and gay adult film stars with giant packages—the images are meant to “empower” the gay community (check them out below).
With its S&M iconography and full frontal male nudity shot exclusively in black and white, the book is an explicit homage to Madonna’s infamous Sex, in addition to Playgirl and Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs. Christian intended readers to become aroused by the photos, “which find the men shackled in cages, relaxing in saunas and lounging in bed,” according to HuffPo. But the scintillating photos depicting gay sex also make a bold political statement, which the title proudly proclaims: Sex=Power=Freedom.
