J. Wayne Higgs (1939-2023) was a photographer and graphic artist in the Washington, DC area. Born John Wayne Higgs, he dropped "John" and went by Wayne Higgs.
Last time we saw some of the nude self-portrait photos that he made during a long life. But he also took photos of other nude males. Today we look at them.

Higgs took many photos for Guild Press in Washington, DC. This one is from a 1969 photo shoot.

Reclining Male Nude, 1970.
Tim, Washington, DC, 1982.
Jack Yount, Washington, DC, 1983. Yount was one of the pioneers of the body modification movement.

Leather Man, Washington, DC, 1983.
Although Higgs shot many frontals, the vast majority are not sexually explicit. There are a few suggestive photos, like this undated photo called Cuddle.
Wet Shorts (undated) is more explicit. Was Higgs gay? No. From his bio: "In 1953 he met the love of his life, Ann Marie (Yanniello) Higgs, in grade school and they married on March 9, 1961. Ann and Wayne raised six children and enjoyed eleven grandchildren in their fifty years of matrimony."

However, I think it's safe to say that Higgs swung both ways. He posted this photo of an erection (not his) on his Flickr site. A viewer commented "mmm". Higgs replied "That's what I always say every time he slides that big bare uncut head into my tight little hole."

Nice hardon in the last shot.
Nice assortment of men.
In DC Guild Press was run by H Lynn Womack and Higgs, Frank Collier and Dave Hurles were among its contributors. Womack and his Guild Press were the center of constant attacks by the DC establishment who couldn’t stand the thought of the nation’s capital being a center of gay porn.
Rex in DC
Given his tan lines, I'm not sure how Tim's cock fit in there...
Thank you for the picture of Jack Yount, I knew and loved Jack, and I have never seen this picture before, so you made my day. Jack impacted my life in several ways, not the least of which, was he introduced me to the man who became my husband.
Why is it so important for a man to be gay? There is exclusive homosexuality (gay) and exclusive heterosexuality at each end of the spectrum, but a bisexual spectrum inbetween that could be 99% homo and 1% hetero, so not technically gay but effectively so: wouldn't that be enough?
Some great photos, very talented.
Thank you. Through marriages with his mother's ancestors, he's my 6th cousin, twice removed.
