5.0 out of 5 stars Black Male Beauty on Its on Terms, July 24, 2006

At first I thought this book would be a glossy version of stereotypical Black erotica. Instead I found an unabashed celebration of the beauty of the Black male body in various dimensions, positions, moods, and ambiances. The book is worth the buy.

This book is one of great beauty. Here we find masculine beauty played out in the many shades of mocha that only the Gods and Goddesses can produce. BLACK VERSATILE is simply a joy to behold as here we have a lovely book celebrating the multi-faceted gorgeousness of black men; but what these original photos do that most other don't is capture the wonderful spirit and energy of maleness, joy, and play of these interesting men. While I believe the target audience is for the gay male world, I do believe some women and even some non-gay men would appreciate the diversity of expresion here in this most expressive book. I almost didn't order the book as I didn't care for the cover picture, but I'm glad I did as I throughly enjoy just about every shot in this superb book. What stands out to me reguarding this particular book is that so many of the guys are clearly and honestly having an excellent time. Even the men in the serious shots have a real shimmer or light to their eyes; there's definitely a sincerity about this project that I like, and it translates into this wonderous diverse collection of male expression that is really a celebration to behold. While some of the photos are explicit in the sense that some of the men at times are comepletely nude or arroused; the work is never lewd and always remains tasteful and creative in my artistic window. I highly recomend BLACK VERSATILE to anyone who appreciates unique, fun, and often beautifully sexy male photography. If you especially find the black male facinating; this book is definetely one that you should order now and add to your personal library today. Cheers to the excellent photographers, models/actors, and all who worked on this creative endevor - WELL DONE !!!!!
