Hands, Feet, Phallus & Fundament: Ashton Jay’s Next Unapologetically Erotic Evolution

How the audacious photographer’s latest collection strips away every pretense—and why it matters for queer desire, art, and beyond.

Let’s get one thing out of the way: Ashton Jay has never been one to hold back. From The Book of Butts (which made you rethink the beauty of bottoms) to Portraits of the Penis (where Shakespearean puns danced with fully-nude portraits), he’s carved a space where explicit queer male imagery isn’t just welcomed—it’s celebrated. But if you thought you’d seen the apex of his boundary-shattering approach, brace yourself.

His brand-new project, “Hands, Feet, Phallus & Fundament,” blasts past anything resembling restraint. We’re talking up-close photos that zoom in on the parts we’re “not supposed to stare at”—the cock, the butt, the veined hand clenched around said cock, the arching foot pressed intimately against bare flesh. This is a collection that dials up the friction between raw sexual energy and highbrow artistry, leaving zero doubt that queer male desire can—and should—live front and center on the page. For those who’ve ever longed for erotic art that says “Screw polite illusions, let’s do this,” welcome to your new obsession.

But you don’t have to take our word for it—not entirely. In this artist spotlight, we unveil brand-new images from the collection, each more unfiltered than the last, and share Ashton Jay’s candid insights on cocks, toes, vulnerability, and yes… the occasional climax. You’ll see his explanations on how he keeps models comfortable while they’re literally dripping with anticipation, why he thinks these taboo body parts deserve a podium, and whether he’s ever found his own photoshoot too hot to handle. If you’re ready to peek into the raw, boundary-pushing heart of queer erotic art, you’ll want to keep scrolling.
