Those who know me well are aware that I’m a die-hard fan of the horror genre, and very well-versed in its tropes, variations, and subgenres. (More info can be found here.) Body horror refers to a subgenre of horror film and literature that concerns unnatural and often disturbing physical alteration of the human body through means including but not limited to disease, deformation, surgery, parasitism, mutation, transformation, assimilation, and mutilation. Director David Cronenberg, known for such films as Scanners (1981), Videodrome (1983), The Fly (1986), and Existenz (1999), is considered a pioneer of body horror. As this month’s Sinful Sunday prompt is “transmogrification”, here’s what I might look like in such a film. (Kindly excuse the obvious edits; I’m a novice when it comes to making monsters.)
Below is the original image, which you may or may not find sexier than the above.
See who else is being sinful at Molly’s Daily Kiss!
Those fingers….!!
Yes the original is rather lovely but I am very drawn to the edited image, those long fingers and distortion of your leg is really creepy whilst keeping enough of you to hint that there is some sinister change taking place.

The edit is wonderful, like you’re turning into a werewolf or something. Beautiful horror indeed!

Good one!
This is fab and fits the prompt perfectly
I think your edits are great! Those long, drawn-out fingers definitely put me in mind of spooky goings-on!
A great edit xx
Wow – those fingers…!
Yeah looks like mid-transform lycanthrope.
The edit you’ve done on your fingers is so cool! I love how you went for something a bit Halloweeny for this prompt.

Big fan of Cronenberg and a huge fan of this awesome edit!!!
That hand…love it!!
I love both images to be honest – it really depends on what mood I am in when I look at them!
Hello. 🙂
Normally I would write you an email, but I couldn’t figure out a way to do that from your main page (sorry if it’s there and I overlooked it), so I am leaving this request as a comment instead:
Would it be okay if I used this photo for a post I’m doing about erotic photography? I would credit you (of course!) and link back to this post within the text.
For a general idea of the type of thing I’m putting together, feel free to see my previous posts focused on eroticism in imagery, here (https://mrsfever.com/2017/06/11/pornography-versus-erotic-imagery/) and/or here (https://mrsfever.com/2017/08/29/sexy-male-body/).
If you have questions, I’m happy to answer them.
Meanwhile, if you could get back to me with your thoughts on using your image, I’d appreciate it.
Thank you!

The edited photo definitely has a noir feel to it. The original is hot! I am always pleased to find a man who photographs well.
