This phrase means: Visual art which invites men to respond on a sexual level when viewing images of male characters.
My creative works incorporate male erotic cruelty which can arouse male viewers sexually when they view images or read stories of vulnerable and defenseless men in distress and jeopardy.
Sexual Arousal vs. Sexual Orientation
As an artist and storyteller, I have learned the truth that my stories and images of highly masculine men who are muscular are not appealing to gay men who prefer stories and images of men who choose to appear or behave or speak like females. The name of my website, Men Hurting Men, is a clear statement of what you can expect to find here. The male sexual arousal from viewing the images or reading the stories is what’s important here—not the man’s sexual identity or orientation.
Sexual arousal of men always happens separately from their sexual identity or orientation. Male sexuality is not “fixed” necessarily; it is largely “fluid.” Men who understand and accept this truth set themselves free from guilt and shame to enjoy a richly rewarding life of erotic arousal and pleasure.
Some straight men actively seek erotic arousal by fantasizing about being taken advantage of and dominated by gay men.
Straight males who engage in such fantasies put themselves in mental images involving aggressive peril where they are forced by very dominant gay men to surrender and obey.
The ultimate erotic arousal outcome for such straight men is to orgasm against their will brought on by imagining being humiliated and shamed by gay men.
In my creative works I deliberately use the bara underground art genre which is well-known to be provocative and also unlikely to appeal to gay men who prefer men who appear or behave or speak like females.

That’s me in the photograph about to be killed by the Predator who appeared suddenly one day in Las Vegas, Nevada for no apparent reason.
That’s also me in the photograph taken in 1891 or 1991 in historic Deadwood, South Dakota.
Hear me (Madeira Desouza) in my controversial podcast series which presents taboo stories:
Pen Name
I’m a citizen of the United States, born in California. My heritage is Portuguese from both my parents. I have been known since high school as Woody. The word madeira is Portuguese for wood. The surname Desouza is a variation of the surname Souza from my old country grandfather on my mother’s side.
Before I had reached the age of 30, I had earned both a master’s degree and doctoral degree in communications. I started out wanting to make a living as a college professor. But I discovered a stunning truth. That profession is not the best for job security due to toxic office politics in the academic field. Plus, a person is not paid very well when just starting out in this profession.
In 1997 I started publishing online under the pen name of Madeira Desouza. Then in 2007 I branched out into creating original 3D digital images for online publication also using that same pen name. But most people know me and keep referring to me as Woody.
When I was a boy, I had an irrational fear that I would turn out to be merely an ordinary man.
During journalism school, I grew to admire writers who distinguished themselves through their professional works. But, I also must confess that I developed a very strong attraction to the well-known practice of writers who use a pseudonym. I discovered in those days that Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Filtered through the perceptions of a teenage boy, that was the coolest thing I had ever come to know about the writing profession.
No surprise that Mark Twain has remained my favorite American writer of all time. Not that I think I am as good as he was or ever will be. But, I seek to be humorous like him, to tell vivid and imaginative stories like he told, and, yes, to have a memorable nom de plume like his. I created a pseudonym for myself that would sound considerably more Old World ethnic compared to my own birth name while being a name that everyone should recognize no ordinary person would ever have.
It does not really matter whether someone with a pseudonym is prominent and globally identifiable like Mark Twain or Stephen King or J.K. Rowling or Jay Z. The simple reality is that having a pseudonym is a timeworn way of differentiating yourself from everyone else.
The old name for this site was “All Male Peril” but that was renamed as “Men Hurting Men” during May 2024.
