Calendars - Part 19

 Newcastle University Boat Club 2018

You've heard the expression "carrying coals to Newcastle." It refers to a pointless activity, since Newcastle, England was a coal mining center and had an abundance of coal.  It looks like Newcastle also has an abundance of guys willing to be in a naked calendar.

The rowers of Newcastle University in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, have been putting out a naked calendar since 2013.  At first they put out a separate men's calendar and women's calendar.

In 2016 they combined them into one calendar, with some photos of male rowers and some of female rowers.  Today's photos are from the 2018 calendar, and of course I've concentrated on the men.

How do you make a mud puddle look scenic?  By putting 8 naked college students behind it.

On the beach.  The structure on the hill is not Newcastle's castle – that's inland.

Walking off into the sunset?  No, it's the sunrise, because Newcastle's beaches face east.  They probably got up early to avoid crowds for the naked calendar shoots.

We finish with some excerpts from a promotional video for the 2015 men's calendar.

Strategically placed items are much better than cupped hands. But, really, there has to be some photos ***somewhere*** that caught frontal and were not used. LOL!

For me the whole picture is ruined by not at least showing some penises. I feel that a photograph of a naked man without showing his penis in some way is missing the whole essence of the male body. At least that is what I always look for.

But why should we hunt? Male genitalia is male genitalia

I figured it was just a glitch, and I deleted the duplicates.

At least strategically placed items give the illusion that they're running around casually naked. Of course, photographers of naked calendars must catch some frontal views, but they are practically never leaked to the public. The two biggest exceptions are Dieux du Stade, where the calendars actually include some frontal views, and Sheffield Hallam University Rugby, where the calendars don't have frontal views, but the organization also sells photo collections from the making of the calendars that include lots of deliberate frontal shots.
