How many times have you seen a devastatingly handsome person and thought, “Wow! What a beauty! I wish my friends could see them.” Sharing these images on Tube Crush or elsewhere could actually be seen as a form of honorific artistic praise, the same way one might share photos of a beautiful sunset or painting. Or is really what one does with the photo that matters? It’s typically understood that photographing a person in a private space like a toilet, shower, locker room or dressing room is inherently unethical, but what about snapping a pic of someone in public? We’re talking about posting pictures of unwitting, everyday citizens without their knowledge. Nor are we talking about celebrities on red carpets, politicians at public events or other public performers who invite attention and crave publicity. To be clear, we’re not talking about the law or legality here - something can be legal and still unethical or problematic.

On one hand, these shots seem somewhat harmless - after all, it’s a free country, the guys are in public places, and who doesn’t appreciate a good lookin’ man? On the other hand, posting such photos online makes private individuals public objects of desire without their permission. If you ever spent time on Tumblr, or if you enjoy Instagram, chances are that you’ve seen similar accounts featuring candid pics of guys, taken while they’re working out at the gym, riding mass transit or walking around in public.
