About the book:

Built for Pleasure Vol 1.is a wonderful collection of male erotic art. This hard cover coffee table book by Blade T Bannon represents the many ways men are viewed as attractive.

Description:

Built for Pleasure was a project I began a number of years ago. I’d like to share my thoughts regarding this book and how it came to be. 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. Either way, I encouraged them to be real. The book is broken into five unique chapters which represent some of the most desirable traits we look for in men. Pleasure comes in many forms, and the men in these pages express this with ease. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. It doesn’t matter if you’re younger or older, smooth or furry, lean or burly, light or dark, kink or vanilla. Whatever your fantasy, there is something here for you.

The chief graphic designer for this book was John Caterino of johncaterino.com.
