Exclusive Interview: Male SuperModel Elliot Meeten

 You’ve been with Models1 for some time now and in the past year, you’ve been on an incredible high. What, if any, were your expectations before becoming a model?

EM: I didn’t really have too many expectations. I was at University at the time and I thought that I could perhaps just earn a bit of money while I studied – I never dreamed that I would become a model full time and travel the world.

 

 Growing up, what did you aspire to be and what do you see yourself doing in the future beyond modelling?

EM: Growing up all I did was play golf, so I aspired to be a professional golfer when I was young. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been drawn more towards wildlife conservation and would love to pursue that more in the future.

 

 What would you say are the pros and cons of modelling?

EM: Travelling for me has to be the best thing about modelling. All of the new sights are what I always look forward to. The worst thing for me is the lack of routine; for example, one week you might be working everyday, and the next week you won’t be working at all. That’s just how the industry is but it makes me appreciative for everything I’ve done so far.

Who have been some of your favourite people to work with?

EM: Craig McDean’s team were so easy to work with when I shot the Vogue Hommes cover and I also had a great experience working with the team at Balmain Hair. I also love working with the team at Moss Bros. and Tommy Hilfiger.

Who in fashion would you love to work with?

EM: Donatella Versace.

Do you ever have people criticise what you do as a model? If so, how do you handle it?

EM: Criticism is normal in every industry. I always listen to what my bookers and clients have to say and do my best to reflect on advice given to me  – within reason of course.

 What, if anything, has modelling taught you?

EM: Maybe not so much of a lesson but it’s made me mature a lot. Having to travel around the world on my own and live and take care of myself has made me grow up and be more organised.

 What have been some of your career highlights so far? 

EM: I’ve got a few career highlights! Shooting with Mario Testino in 2017 was a great experience, and also walking for Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana during my first ever show season in Milan. Obviously my ultimate highlight was shooting the Vogue Hommes cover, which was just a dream come true. I still have to pinch myself every time I look at it.

 Is there a male model that you look up to or whose career you admire?

EM: In terms of my generation, I love what Trevor Signorino has achieved in a relatively short space of time. I also admire David Gandy immensely.

You’re always back and forth between London and Milan. How has the experience been for you socially and as a model in Milan?

EM: Milan is great because it’s a small city so it’s easy to get around. I’ve modelled for some nice brands there, including Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana, so my modelling experience is one of pride. I have a lot of close friends who live in Milan and they are always inviting me to dinners and parties which is nice. Travelling for work can be isolating but Milan feels like a second home to me now.

What are some other countries/places that you hope your modelling career takes you?

EM: I would love to shoot a swimwear campaign on one of the Greek islands or in the Caribbean.

Outside of modelling, what are some of your hobbies/passions?

EM: I love playing golf and football with my friends, and I also train at the gym pretty much every day. Health in general is a big focus of mine so I’m into reading books about good-living and wellness.

What are some values/lessons you’ve learned growing up that you think help you as a model?

EM: I was always taught to be polite and have good manners, which is a good thing in this industry because it’s important to make a good first impression.

 Do you ever find yourself needing a boost in motivation?

EM: I take my work very seriously and I’m always very motivated to stay in shape and keep pushing to make my career as prosperous as possible.

A model’s life often means spending a great deal of time away from family, how do stay connected with yours?

EM: When I’m away from home I call my mum every single day to tell her I’m okay and to ask how her and the rest of the family are doing.

 

THANK YOU ELLIOT!!!

Interview with Top Male Model: Elliot Meeten

ELLIOT MEETEN is one of the most promising faces in the modelling industry, with his career catapulting after landing a cover of Vogue Hommes, he’s already a regular on top runways such as Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana to name a few.Elliot sits down for an exclusive interview with  me to talk about his beginnings as a model, beauty secrets and his workout routine. 

Who is Elliot Meeten?
I’m a 22 year old guy from Brighton & Hove, UK.

How were you discovered?
I was getting my haircut when I was 17 years old and I was told I should consider modelling by the hairdresser who was cutting my hair. So, I sent some natural photos of myself to a few London-based modelling agencies and I ended up signing with Models 1.

If you weren’t a model what would you be?
I studied BSc Geography at University so I would probably be using that to work in either clean energy development or wildlife conservation.

Who are your favorite supermodels?
For me it’s a close tie between David Gandy and Sean O’Pry.

Your dream modeling job?
I would love to book a Versace or Giorgio Armani fragrance campaign.

What have you learnt from the modelling industry?
I’ve learnt that the modelling industry can be quite ruthless. It’s a competitive industry and you have to learnt to deal with rejection.

So, what advice could you give to a model starting their career?
I would advise a model who is just starting out to always have a back-up plan or alternative career just in case modeling doesn’t work out.

What do you think is the best part about working in the fashion industry?
I guess the best part is traveling the world. I had never visited New York, Milan or Paris before I got into modelling and having the opportunity to experience those places was life changing.

Your tip for taking the best photo?
Find the right light. I love that “golden hour” light moment, just as the sun is setting in the evening.

What’s your beauty secret or essential grooming routine?
I like to look after my skin by drinking plenty of water, trying to get 8 hours sleep every night, eating lots of vegetables, and avoiding dairy products. I exfoliate my face daily, and sometimes use mud face masks to rejuvenate my face. I avoid moisturiser because I have naturally oily skin.

 

How does Elliot Meeten stay fit? What is your exercise regiment?
I train 5-6 days a week depending on my schedule. I sometimes train twice a day, with each session lasting for around 60-90 minutes. My training consists of a lot of cardio in the form of running and rowing and other functional movements performed at high intensity. I also do a lot of bodyweight movements, such as pull-ups and dips, and weightlifting for example barbell squats, clean and jerks, snatches. I also stretch thoroughly every day. When I’m back in my hometown, Brighton & Hove, UK, I also play golf once a week.

Describe your perfect day off when you are not modelling.
A nice lay in, a round of golf with my friends at a beautiful golf course, and then to a nice Thai restaurant in the evening with my girlfriend.

How To Have Amazing Gay Sex with a Large D

How To Have Amazing Gay Sex with a Large D!

 Being large can sometimes be problematic

The old adage “be careful what you wish for” doesn’t usually apply to a guy’s manhood, but maybe it should. Though the anxiety attached to the idea of having a small penis is often unfounded, it is incredibly common.
Twelve years ago, a group of researchers set out to measure just how far this kind of penile paranoia extends. They studied more than 52,000 people.
While almost all partners reported they were satisfied with their significant others’ size, just about half of all men surveyed felt they were unhappy with what they had.

As with most things, fantasy often exceeds reality. As the investigators of the study concluded, “Men’s concerns about penis size are fueled by cultural messages equating penis size with masculinity.”
And, as almost anyone person who has ever bottomed can attest, internalized constructs concerning masculinity does not a good lover make.
The truth is, a large penis can actually complicate the ability of the bottom to enjoy “good” sex. Certain things are off the menu. Like the “jackhammering” approach.

The same holds true for oral delights, where the person going down on the thickish man can experience a sore jaw.
But where there’s a will, there is a way, right? Below are a few ways to have great gay sex when you have a larger than average manhood.

1. Foreplay is key

“Most men who bottom need 10 minutes of foreplay to be fully aroused,” explains LA based sex coach Henry Jones. That window allows the anus to go through a process called “anal tenting,” meaning it gets loser, wider and stretches.
And that makes taking a huge penis a whole lot easier to get inside.

Besides, more foreplay helps with the buildup of semen, allowing for a more powerful explosion. “I recommend warming up with fingers,” adds Jones, a certified sex coach. According to Jones, this approach is particularly useful for anyone with thick girth, which can stretch the anal walls beyond what’s comfortable.

2. Positioning is everything

If you are super-sized and haven’t tried sex while spooning, you probably should. “A long, thick penis may hit irritate anal lining, which doesn’t feel good,” says Jones.
“Spooning is a good option for this since it allows for shallower penetration.” Jones also suggests the guy-on-top, or “cowboy,” position. “Not only does the person being penetrated control the depth, it also pulls the pelvis of the person with a penis down a bit, making it feel like there’s less length to take in,” he explains.

3. Get creative

Sometimes, being really big means having to get creative. “Just because adult film movies show it going all the way in, it doesn’t mean it has to,” says Jones.

“One option is to get him on his back with his butt close to the edge of the bed. Depending on where you are positioned, the bed can act as a kind of bumper.” During missionary, he suggests the bottom drops his knees down to the top’s chest. “That way, his legs can prevent how deep he can go.”

4. Look for alternatives

The following old saying is true: good sex does not begin and end with a man’s penis. If your largeness is causing her discomfort during anal, then look for other forms of fun.
“If you can stay hard after releasing, ask your man to get you off first using his hands or mouth,” says Jones.
“Your second woody is always going to be a little smaller.” There’s also mutual JO. “Lay side by side and touch yourselves. It’s extremely, intimate, and often faster than having intercourse,” he suggests.

5. Consider training

A final option is consider training your bottom to handle your largeness. According to Jones, “One of the best ways to do this is with a standard anal trainer kit”.
Anal trainers allow the bottom to graduate to different sizes over the course of time. “You start your man off small and then move on to super-size. It’s not an instant process so don’t expect results overnight,” says Jones. “The anal walls need to get used to being stretched out.”
