“The male nude is by leaps and bounds way less exoticized than the female nude in art, and in all forms of media”, the photographer Dana Scruggs tells me. Her recently released photo series The Black Male Form sees Scruggs — known for shooting high profile celebrity magazine cover stories — vow to use the male body as an object, in the same way many male artists have done with the female body throughout art history. “Seeing the female body nude is extremely commonplace”, Scruggs elaborates, “there’s literally been countless advertisements of naked women on billboards and in magazines, and actresses are constantly expected to show full frontal nudity on screen.”. It’s a lack of parity that Scruggs wants to subvert, “the male nude has been marginalized because there’s never been a dude with his penis out on the side of a bus”, she says, “only now are we starting to see male actors going full frontal in TV and film on a more consistent basis.”.

Becoming more radical as her career progresses – in January Scruggs took to Instagram resolving to “just do what I want. If you like it great, if you don’t, that’s okay too” – her next step involves moving the needle on the use of the male nude in art. The last century of visual culture has seen the female body become a passive creative object used to benefit advertising, art, commerce and pornography, largely by and for men. Her photo series Roze en la Playa on show at New York’s Fotografiska Nude exhibition illustrates how Scruggs is committed to addressing the inequality of male and female nudes in art. The show opened a week after Scruggs posted a mission statement on Instagram, where she revealed her ongoing project The Black Male Form . “The Black Male Form is a phrase I’ve used most of my career to describe my work”, she wrote, “Unfortunately I rarely get hired to shoot men. It feels good to go back to my roots to push even further than I have before.”.
This lens on the male nude is a political one for Scruggs. “This is a patriarchal society that has been dominated by men having the power to desenstize the public to the female nude while intentionally making the public highly sensitive to viewing male genitalia” she tells me, when I ask about her image Roze en la Playa , which sees the chef and model Roze Traore laying in a pose reminiscent of Ingre’s Grande Odalisque painting on a sandy beach. Scruggs cleverly highlights the knock-on effect of a visual culture permeated with passive female nudes, but far fewer of men.
Since the artist group Guerilla Girls famously revealed in 1989 that 5% of the artists in US modern art collections are women, but 85 percent of the nudes are female, little has changed. In 2018, a National Museum of Women in the Arts survey of American museums found that 87 percent of the collections were by men. “When I go to museums, I see way more breasts and vaginas on display than I see penises”, Scruggs explains, “the double standard of vulnerability is very easy to see.”. This double standard has created a culture where the female nude image is traded in a way mens’ is not — in 2018 Exeter University found that nearly 3 in 4 victims of revenge porn are women.

“The male nude was the ideal and principal subject in art in ancient Greece and early renaissance art” says photographer Yushi Li , who appears in the exhibition Nude alongside Scruggs. However, she explains, “since the early 19th century, the female nude started becoming the most prevalent subject in art. Unlike the male nude, which is often perceived as an autonomous subject, the female nude is normally presented in a passive way. I think in my work, I try to present men in a different way to question this masculine and feminine opposition, and cast the gaze onto the male body, which can be equally eroticized and desired as the female body.”. Over the last year, much has been made over male nudity becoming slightly more commonplace in popular culture – in the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That, Harry’s full front scene went viral, Sex Life 's Adam Demo’s nude scene was much talked about, and even the cover of Julia Peyton’s novel Vladimir shows a naked man. But as Li notes, these acts of nudity have far more autonomy that women’s do – we still need more parity.
Li’s photographic profiles such as Tinder Boys and The Feast , present the male body as a passive prop to her art. An image from The Feast depicts Li fully clothed with naked men used as props for furniture. “In the project My Tinder Boys , I photographed different men I met through the online dating application Tinder. I look at them, I ‘like’ them, I make them become images of mine. The repetition of the process and similar settings in this series of photographs turns these men into undifferentiated and replaceable objects of my desire.”

Li’s image The Nightmare is strikingly similar to Allen Jones’s 1969 sculpture Table, in which a female mannequin is bent over and used as a seat – a pointed reference to the casual use of female bodies for the benefit of a male artist? “During these unusual dates” Li says, careful to note the nuance in her presentation of female objectification of men: “I am both the violator who tries to invade their private space and also the desiring object who participates in their vulnerability”. Carlota Ibanez of Efremedis Gallery in Berlin, says she’s seeing a new emerging market among collectors for art where the tropes of art owned by men historically “such as the nude which was until very recently largely authored by men for men”, are “subverted, such as women depicting men naked, not as the centrepiece of their art, but as passive objects.”.

Like Yi, Scrugg’s ongoing series The Black Male Form sees her use the male body as the ideal prop for the perfect photograph. “I will usually give the model a random piece of direction like: pretend like you're a leaf on the wind or pretend like you’re a piece of spaghetti that’s been thrown against a wall”, she says, “how they interpret that direction is our jumping off point and we work together to make those movements look and feel organic and effortless.”. In many ways, this female lens on the male body is anti-social media, the algorithm-defined aesthetics of which have led to many photographers showing their work on Instagram that prioritises a beauty that fits into western standards – which is what the algorithm rewards.
Does Scruggs think the male nude is at risk of the same marginalisation that women have felt for over half a century? “The root of my work is portraying the masculinity and vulnerability of the Black male form. I enjoy photographing women, but the opposite energy of men is what inspires me the most”, she says. She describes her work before revealing The Black Male Body series as something she did for career progression, feeling that she to “had to check boxes of wokeness and black pain”, a sentiment she shared on Instagram last year. For now, a commitment to the male nude is her main objective. “It’s a voyeuristic fascination” she says — “a curiosity of the masculine.”.

A dad has been shamed for showering naked with his six-year-old daughter after a swim at a local public pool.
The wife of the man took to Kidspot to share the altercation between the dad and another man in at the pool’s change rooms.
The dad Kyle had gone swimming with his daughter Isla (not their real names) on a hot day.

Everything went along wonderfully until it was time to get out of the pool and have a quick shower before heading home.
“Kyle collected the bags and towels and ushered Isla into the men’s change room to have a quick shower and get dressed,” the mum wrote.
The change rooms were empty so Kyle decided it would be OK for him and Isla to have a quick shower to wash off the chlorine and for him to wash Isla’s hair.
“But as they stood together under the water, a man in his 50s walked into the change room and saw them,” the mum wrote.
Kyle saw the man’s “disgusted” look before the man in his 50s spoke up.
“Not really the right place for your daughter, is it?” the man said.
“This is the male change room, not the female. She shouldn’t be showering like that in here.”
Kyle was in a state of “shock” at the man’s comments, his wife said.
They quickly got out of the shower, got dressed and left.
Back at home, Kyle discussed the incident with his wife, who became “absolutely infuriated.”
“He asked me if I thought that him showering naked with Isla was inappropriate in the men’s change room,” she wrote.
“He explained that while he hadn’t given it a second thought at the time, now he was second-guessing himself and his decision to do it.”
But Isla’s mum said it was a completely “normal and practical” thing to do.
“Not only was I infuriated that this man has made this remark to a father caring for his daughter, but infuriated that now my husband was insecure in his own parenting abilities and the decision he made,” she wrote.
“How is a father helping his six-year-old daughter shower in a changeroom after a swim wrong?”
" ‘How is a father helping his six-year-old daughter shower in a changeroom after a swim wrong?’ "
The mum pointed out that Isla, at six years old, was too young to be sent off to the female change room by herself and it was the most “responsible” option for Kyle to have taken her with him.
“I understand that everyone comes with their own views and beliefs and perhaps if Isla was older ... I would have understood where this man was coming from,” she wrote.
“But she is a six-year-old girl - and nothing about her using a public changeroom, even if it is the men’s, with her father, is wrong.”
