Vitruvius, was a Roman architect and civil engineer. His work related to architecture, engineering and the human form. His work survives from antiquity.
Leonardo da Vinci, described by author Walter Isaacson as perhaps the most brilliant person to ever live drew Vitruvian Man. This work of art is said to describe the perfect male body proportions. Vitruvian Women was created to show the perfect expression of the female form. The woman was based on da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine. This story will be about the male form.
I was vacationing in Italy as I have done many times before. A beautiful country that is said to contain one-fifth of the world's art treasures. I'm in Italy in October, perhaps the best time of year to visit. I've been traveling Italy from Sicily going north. Venice being my intended last stop. Traveling with only a backpack allowed me freedom to travel at will, through this country. An easily used transportation system allows travel without a car.
I availed myself of many opportunities it explore gay sex Italian style. The internet makes it easy to find places and men that interest me. With my iPhone and a translation app I have made some great hookup. Many Italians speak some American English which I find very helpful.
Europeans including Italians have a different attitude towards sexuality. Different from American attitudes. Italians are open about sexuality regardless of choices of partners or groups. On this trip I've had some enjoyable one nighters with nice guys. But my search for perfection continues.
In my travels my quest has been to find that special male who exemplifies the body of the Vitruvian Man. Examples of the measurements are width of his arm span equals his height. His head is one-tenth of his height. All other measurements continue to define male perfection.
Upon arriving in Venice I went to my pension to check in and leave my backpack. I travel lightly that means no underwear and no socks. I wear athletic shorts and tee shirts. I do have a dress shirt and long pants to wear when necessary.
After the long train ride I had a quick lunch at a street vendor's stand. I headed towards the Metro Veneza Club, a gay bathhouse near my location. I walked over and walked into the club. A handsome shirtless guy checked me in and handed me a towel. I walked to the shower and locker room and removed my clothes.
