Joes act out their burgeoning sexual fantasies &#8212; and a lot of guys who are surprised to find themselves so turned on by the photos I\u2019ve taken,&#8221; says Pete Handler, the site&#8217;s New York-based photographer and designer. Indeed, the various clever scenes &#8212; of fisting, bondage, gangbangs and more &#8212; could easily be mistaken for commercial pornography. All the pictures are for sale, along with a book of them, and you can send in your own suggestions of storylines or poses you&#8217;d like Handler to shoot, which fits in perfectly with his master plan. &#8220;I\u2019m trying to get people&#8217;s circuits to cross,&#8221; he says, &#8220;almost daring them to see how much about what turns them on is in their imagination.&#8221; &#8212; Jonah Tully<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasparky.org\/blog\/img\/hx_may_27.html\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/ultrasparky.org\/blog\/img\/hx_may_27.html','popup','width=785,height=857,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\" title=\"Click to see the full-size image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ultrasparky.org\/blog\/img\/hx_may_27-thumb.jpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"524\" vspace=\"5\"  alt=\"Thumbnail of the Thumbs\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, did anyone catch this?
