After five decades of effort & experiment, I am not convinced that it is possible to be a touchy-feely adult, employed, fatherly heterosexual bloke, ( call me 'metrosexual' man if you must ), & still satisfy all the roles expected of men today. The high achieving breadwinner, the ever present & active lover, considerate partner, caring parent cannot surely be concurrent activities ! Multi tasking I am capable of, I can do the washing, the ironing & cook a meal for 9 whilst considering which GCSE options one of my children should be taking, but being all things to all people, at all times, I am not.

I have had the good fortune to be an adolescent lover, husband for more than 20 years, single parent to four children, fiancée & most recently lived with my lover. I am father to one daughter & three sons, stepfather to three more girls & two boys. What these roles & experiences have taught me is the value of true masculinity. I celebrate the masculine attributes of stoicism, strength of character, assertiveness, decisiveness, confidence, courage to put others first & the courtesy to put others needs before self-interest.

Which is possibly why I do not think it is necessarily wrong for a man to celebrate the beauty of a woman's features. I cannot, not look at that fetching female ankle on the train, that trim figure behind the counter or that wonderful view behind a female cyclist ! without wanting to rejoice in the spectacular variety that is womanhood!

The bath, the shower & a woman's body, what image could be more alluring, more innocent or more evocative of those puzzling creatures our mothers, lovers, wives & daughters. So here are a few captured moments.
