The Garden of Adam is a new male erotic nude photography site that captures the
beauty of the naked male form via female photographer Nancy Murrian. This
female photographer brings out the most erotic poses from her straight male
models that they would never show anyone else. The models currently on the site
are straight hunky Euro hotties who show their strength and masculinity in
every breathtaking photo that she takes. There is a definite lack of male nude
photography, so I'm excited to see what's on the inside. The tour itself
features stunning visuals along with a brief listing of features to expect
inside - so let's get to it!
The member's area homepage is simple and elegant - the current sets (14) are listed on the main page, basic navigation is listed at the top of the page, and you get into the sets by hovering over each set thumbnail to choose whether you want to send an e-card, see the poster, or look at the gallery. Since posters aren't exactly something I see inside of every site, I brought it up. One minor quibble - the poster opens up in a pop up window, so if you run blockers you are going to need to allow the site to bring up the pop up.
Now that that's out of the way, I can take a look at this poster. It's a print quality version of one of the photos in the set - 300 dpi and 1015px on the long side. The guy has this mischievous little smile on his face as he's coyly trying to hide his cock with his other hand - but it's too big so you can see his head peeking out from behind it. Sunlight and shadows give him a very romantic look...so far so good, the quality is certainly there and I'm enjoying the photo composition already. The ecard gives you the option to spread some male nude wealth to any friends who would like to see a sample of what you're enjoying inside.
Time for the galleries! There is a thumbnail view that show you all of the
shots. They're nice and big so you can pick out the male erotic nude photos
that interest you the most. This is where the first problem comes into play.
While I can ignore the small amount of sets given that this site is almost
brand new, the actual size of the sets is very small. There are none above 25
photos, and some even go as low as 9. Even though these are incredibly
detailed, beautiful erotic photos, I do feel that this set size really should
be increased (especially the ones with single digit pictures).
I do have to admit that the quality and content of the photos did leave me a bit weak in the knees. Nancy Murrian masterfully brings out the sexiest sides in her straight models, revealing their toned bodies, hard cocks, and sensual personalities. These men are captured in 2015px (long side) pictures for the large versions, and 1015px (long side) for the smaller quality. Each set has a different theme, from black and white to softcore fetish. You won't find anything more hardcore than a bit of slow, sensual stroking, however. I have to admit that it was the very first set that caught my attention at first. It's just this gloriously high quality, half erect cock that is getting teased into hardness by a vibrant red feather. The depth of color and quality of composition really turned me on to this professional photography - you can see every last detail of this dick.
There is a nice variety of poses to capture these stud beauties, and the lighting is just spectacular. However...there is one problem. No ass shots. Now while I understand that Nancy probably wouldn't be doing spread ass shots given the nature of the site, I was hoping to get a look at the tight and toned butts of these gorgeous men.
After you're done admiring these men, you can also download zip files of both
large and small versions of the photos. The other thing you can do is E-print,
which gives you a print quality and size version of a photo from the set. It
clocks in at a massive 3558x5313px.
That is pretty much the entirety of the site at this point. There is a small behind the scenes section, along with a blog which is the only way I could find out how often they update (once a week, if you were wondering).
I have mixed feelings overall about The Garden of Adam. It certainly is helping to boost a very undeserved market with Nancy's erotic male photography. However, since there are no movies on the site, I feel that she at least needs to increase the size of the sets to make up for that lack. Keep in mind that the site is new, and it's one of the only places you can really find this kind of material, so hopefully that is something that will improve as time goes on.
Things we liked:
- Extremely High Quality Photography
- Adding to a very under served niche
- Print quality versions of some photos
- Zip sets
Things we didn't like:
- No videos
- Minuscule set sizes
