This Tom of Finland image is titled, “A Man and His Boot.” When it came out, I got a large poster of it and framed it for display. Man, what a striking image: the hunky stud and a tall black boot. The equestrian spur adds a touch of class. I don’t know what I stared at more — the penetrating eyes of the blond hunk, or the boot.

Were other Bootmen as stricken by the image?
