The Seductive Vocabulary of Undressing Francisco Gabriel
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Photographer Erick Monterossa announced he was coming to Germany, inviting people to book a modeling session, in the most seductive way. He shared this video, where model Francisco Gabriel began dressing into a formal suit, starting from a position where he's wearing nothing but the tiniest black thong. Overlaid text announced that we're about to learn about "5 German words you didn't know sound so captivating."
From a German term of endearment to the name for a romantic affair, Monterrosa chose words that convey all the sensuality that model Francisco Garbiel is conveying in his elegant poise in barely-there underwear as he puts on layers like sock garters and a loosely-hanging, perfectly pressed white shirt. Along the way, we learn the German word for the safety we feel in a close relationship, and for the erotic fantasies we imagine when we daydream.
You'd be forgiven for not noticing these words or their definitions even if you've seen this post on your Instagram timeline; The model undressing is entirely too distracting. It took us many more watches of this video than we'll admit before we read the German words. With definitions like "a sensory intoxication," they're as captivating as Monterrosa promised. If you've got your sound on, you would be treated to the pleasure of each word being pronounced in a seductive whisper.
After his sensual undressing, Monterrosa photographed his model in breathtaking poses – his legs wide open, abs impossibly defined, the caption asking us, "How do you like this office attire?" and including a confession: The photographer writes to tell us that he "just realized there is a whole community of people who love men wearing sheer socks," adding: "I might now be part of it."
