"I almost never draw a completely naked man. He has to have at least a pair of boots or something on. To me, a fully dressed man is more erotic than a naked one. A naked man is, of course beautiful, but dress him in black leather or a uniform - ah, then he is more than beautiful, then he is sexy!"

(Touko Valio Laaksonen, conosciuto con il nome d'arte di Tom of Finland; Kaarina, 8 maggio 1920 – Helsinki, 7 novembre 1991)
