Rigo

Rigo, 21, comes from a small town in southern Slovakia, where he once kicked around a soccer ball and trained in boxing. He’s currently between jobs, eager for a fresh start—not just in work but also in living healthier, with plans to hit the gym and get back into boxing. We were introduced by a mutual friend, and our first meeting, with that friend present, was all about getting to know each other and building some rapport.

He’s a man of few words, quiet and reserved, keeping to himself with a sexy straight-guy masculine vibe. Breaking the ice with him was a challenge at first—being photographed, especially nude, was a completely new concept, and he approached it with skepticism and hesitation, though he stayed polite and friendly. There’s a slight “tough guy” edge to him, but through our chats, I sensed a considerate, caring side, especially when it came to his family. He’s unsure about his future but dreams of a simple, traditional family life. He’s been with his girlfriend for two years, though he’s private and didn’t share much about her.

We had a few follow-up calls, and he seemed to relax a bit more each time. For the photoshoot, he arrived “escorted” by our mutual friend, still treading carefully. During the session, he tried to mask his awkwardness, and though it took some time, he gradually got comfortable with being undressed around me and being photographed. By the end of the session, we were on friendly terms, and I feel we earned each other’s trust. Perhaps because of the gradual easing of tension and the liberating feeling that followed, the photoshoot turned out to be more interesting and rewarding than those with more confident, experienced guys.
