Behind the new nude of a Peruvian
streaming-TV host.
Elías Velasco (born November 21st, 1974, in Lima, Peru, where he lives) was inside the bathroom just wearing a long green coat. He breathed deeply. He might think this was the fourth time he did in his lifetime. “I’m gonna perform a character,” He got calm, opened the door, went out to the living-room, took off the cloth. He was fully naked.
Outside, his two producers waited for him
as well as the plastic artist Miguel Rosas with three apprentices. Everybody
understood he was ready. Elías seated as the painter requested, he posed in
nuts.
“I felt nervous, a little distressed, too
watched in general,” said the creator, director, and host of Café &
Conversa (Coffee Talk), his inspiring and very nice TV-show on
YouTube which elías sits down to chat in-depth with son many diverse guests.
For the episode about Miguel Rosas, elías’
producer suggested to talk on camera, to show part of the male nude the plastic
artist paints, and elías to become a model: “It seemed me a pretty risky,
controversial, but very artistic idea.”
The host couldn’t refuse because he thinks
if a journalist has to tell the story very well, he must become a part of it in
some sense. In other words, if he had to talk about beautiful men
painted fully naked… so he had to become one of them. To elude the censorship
on YouTube, that forbids to show explicitly the cock, the balls, or the whole
ass, his producers chose shots showing just his beautiful torso and legs.
Today, Elías Velasco tells for the very
first time, exclusively for Hunks of Piura, these secret insights he
neither confessed on that commented episode.
Big flesh, Little self-esteem
In 1993,Elías was another thin Lima-native
guy who felt too little, psychologically speaking. He just closed a toxic
relationship that became violent. His boyfriend drank, got away, and when he
came back, what should be a romantic date, turned rising outrageous fights each
time. Then, strikes arrived. Eventually, the intoxicated lover raped
Elías. “Having forced sex with somebody
is a rape,” he affirms today. “That depressed me much, I cloistered, I was too
thin,” he remembers.
He changed his mind when he asked for a job
at a fashion store. The owner was a LGTBIQ+: “How an
ugly guy is going to sell pretty clothes?,” he faced.
Once upon an afternoon, one friend asked
him going to a basket match at Guadalupe School, Lima Downtown.
When he realized, he was inside a gym. “My body changed in a year, I
started to make me over.” His muscles amazed, wondered what Elías used
to revenge: “If I was mistreated, I had to mistreat now.”
He went ahead. In 2004, he started to study
the secrets of these physiques awaking forbidden desires. So
then, he was involved in a second relationship: “My boyfriend paid me the
classes.”
In 2007, Elías performed in public by
wearing a tanga underneath a beautiful ass and a tasty bulge already
highlighted. He reached Mister Peru, hustled the biggest stars of bodybuilding
& fitness.
In fact, he achieved the third place in classic bodybuilding category.
Previously, he got a second place in Mister Lima, the same category. He
wan Mister Summer. He was 33 years old.
The problem was that beautiful shape
needed him to consume anabolics. A bone disease activated putting him on a bed.
“I fell to 108 pounds.” As a reference, Elías is 5’6 feet, so his ideal weight
should be between 148 and 154 lbs. “I tried suicide, but something stopped I
dove… What was it? I don’t have clear anyway.”
Next 12 months were intensive psychiatric
treatment. The wish to die was resuming step by step but the notion of himself
continued very underrated. “I felt a poor guy in every respect.”
The best butt
Before the full nude he made for his show,
Elías Velasco got naked three times. In 2008, in a campaign addressed to escorts
in Panama an for Peru’s Health Ministry (Minsa, as in Spanish). Again
for Minsa in 2011, this time associated with Lima’s Movement of Homosexuals and
Lesbians, amid a campaign called Use Me. For a French photographer
in 2012, who published them in a magazine for
men.
The second shoot was special because it was
about rising awareness on the use of condom, and
because elías shared the set with other two pretty-body models who enacted sexual
positions but covered in latex ffrom head to feet. He could deal with the
fact of posing alone, but making it with other two models scared him. “I felt a
few modesty and nerves,” he tells.
The photographer was assertive to melt the
ice so the shoot was made, although it lasted 7 hours. One strategy was
lauding elías’ ass. “It’s the best butt I’ve ever seen,” he said, explained it
– it was worked out well, looked like very masculine. We tried to look at it
again – he has it pretty tasty, although he asks us order immediately: “I like
how my butt has got, but I rather like my eyes… like if they spoke seeing.”
The Use Me campaign was pretty
successful across Peru, although elías’ mom didn’t like her son’s nude body
was exhibited at gay bars and discos. “I made it because it was a
background.”
Having a beautiful body also made him
attractive for the escorting business. It happened in 2007. He didn’t accept. He was also proposed to
perform sex with other Peruvian and foreign bodybuilders
paying him from 1000 to 1500 dollars per play. He refused again. “I didn’t
accept because I didn’t consider it strategic,” he explains. An Argentinian
referee was the models recruiter. Few later, the scandal of Peruvian naked
bodybuilders blasted strongly on the media.
Inner beauty first
Having a beautiful body is a lifestyle for
elías now, but the physique is not the first he focused on. The first training
is mental: “As you’re gonna be inside, you’re gonna be outside.” The presenter
recognizes himself as a patient who has treated his depression and his anxiety.
His mental search has understood the root of the problem began since the same
moment he was conceived.
A boyfriend? No. He already learned
it’s better to take the needed time for choosing better. He is in love of
himself, rather. “It’s working me to focus on real things, not surrounding
myself with people who don’t add anything.” His keyword is empathy or
wearing the other’s shoes. He can take better decisions so. “I feel free,
healed.,” he smiles.
Elías assures the best gift you can give
yourself is changing because it’s your own business, not because the people say
it. “My life is not managed by a collective acceptance but inner acceptance.”
What about his past? “I can’t argue on the
experiences of my life because they
allow me to stay surer.”And part of that growing-up was creating Café &
Conversa: “The show was released more by a cathartic issue due to a second
breaking-up,” he confesses.
A hard-on warning
As part of that new adventure, we get to
that morning when Elías posed fully naked in front of Miguel Rosas.
After taking off the long coat, the next challenge was keeping frozen. And the
little problem of Elías is he ever moves much.
He was seated for three hours. “I got cramps
in butts, calves, and feet.” That
activated him the anxiety and nerves, and both turned on his 6’7-inch penis.
“Miguel, I think that part wants to rise a bit,” he said to the plastic artist.
“That’s usual,” Rosas replied him, naturally. Said so, his dick slept again.
Showing his 5’6 feet and his actual 159 lbs
required some body preparation. He cut a little his hair in pubis and
legs. For his two first nudes, he did fully shave.
When he finished to pose and saw his naked
body painted on the canvas, he left very satisfied. “It impressed me the
color he printed on… I felt very cared and protected by Miguel… I felt very
plenty.”
Elías thinks to be a pretty average guy. “I
don’t consider myself handsome but I feel attractive.” Despite the nude
and his physique, he don’t consider himself a sex-symbol
anyway. “I consider myself a guy amid a growing-up process looking for inner
beauty,” he states. That doesn’t get the focus out of his physique which he, as
he says, wouldn’t change anything at this time of his life.
“The picture Miguel made me is a skin
expressing colors throughout the canvas, that he knew to place what I like much
of me – my eyes.” What how the people takes it for good, for bad,for sexualizing,
don’t care him.
Elías believes the session he did for
Miguel Rosas has benefit his work as a media personality. In fact, he
thinks the body “is a speaking temple or canvas.” “If I am proposed to do a nude and I feel
it’s going to add into my professional life, I’d accept it, either,” he
assures.
