Calendar Boys: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

David Toussaint READ TIME: 4 MIN.

It's that time of year: boys, boys and more boys. Time to pick up one, or two or three, sexy calendars to help you navigate the months ahead. As long as pin-up men keep taking these scintillating photos, pin-up calendars will never go out of style!

There are so many beefcake calendars to choose from (ah shucks, we had to look at so many!), but we picked three that we found especially delick-able. Check them out, below, browse freely, and get ready to enjoy 12 big months.

Hunks and Hounds, by Mike Ruiz
Mike Ruiz has been known to cause a few "woofs!" all by himself, and now he's created "Hunks and Hounds," the 2015 calendar that has 12 separate models holding 12 separate pooches. The best part? All profits go to Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue, so your visual treat is going to help dogs get proper care.

Says Ruiz: "The idea for the calendar came when I was trying to figure out how to maximize the success of a calendar to help these dogs. Combining the dogs with hunks made perfect sense."

Ruiz shot the entire calendar in two days, in part by getting a little help from his friends.

"I called on some models that I'd previously worked with, and recruited a couple of new guys. Thanks to the success of the calendar they're getting offers all over the place."

Most important, your purchase is going to charity.

"The bottom line is that the calendar benefits Louie's Legacy and will help rescue dogs from high-kill shelters. And, yes, there will be a repeat next year."

And Mike, feel free to hound us anytime!

Stuart Reardon, shot by Paul Reitz

Speaking of men who want to make us roll over and beg, English rugby star and universal hunk Stuart Reardon has released his second calendar, with all new photos of the Rear Don! Reardon's always been a wonderful straight ally, an incredible athlete, a terrific model, and - ah, heck, he just has an amazing butt!

The rest of him's not so shabby either. He's sprouting a beard, showing off that tattoo, contemplating life while sitting naked in bed; you know, like all mythical gods like to do on a lazy afternoon.

You'll get 12 new looks in his new calendar, shot entirely in black and white. And yes, his butt does play a dominant role. We're always sentimental when it comes to men who know how to handle balls.

Mark Henderson, Poolside Pleasures

Mark Henderson is quickly becoming one of the biggest names in homoerotic photography, and his 2015 calendar shows you why. "Poolside Pleasures" will make any gay man want to take the day off, find a local watering hole, and dive in. Provided, of course, that one of these models is on the premises.

Men, gorgeous men, god-like men, all posing in various stages of undress and various stages of, um, excitement, make this calendar a must-have for the upcoming year.

Be warned ahead of time: If not properly handled, pages may stick together.
