From several Facebook friends, a link to this FB group:

(Male bodies and elaborate photographic fantasies, to inaugurate 2017, which is, by the way, a prime number.)
From my correspondent RJP, a link to the work of the Skiinmode studio (supplying Asian male muscle posed in complex fantasy scenes) on Tumblr. (The material is available on a number of sites, especially on Tumblr and Instagram.)
Men of several nationalities and body types (all with pleasing muscles and most in cocktease poses), in fanciful settings, sometimes appearing as complex imaginary creatures.
