We want to make erotic male art available to everyone. More specifically, we have dedicated ourselves to offering top quality gay art at affordable prices. We have collected art depicting the male form for years. Some of our pieces can be displayed in the public rooms of our home, while the more graphic images hang in our private living areas. Most are created by gay artists, some are not.

We realize that not all of you have access to the art galleries in New York, San Francisco, Key West and Provincetown. We know that the erotic male art offered in these galleries is often priced beyond the means of the average income.

Thus we conceived EMA, an online gay art gallery dedicated to bringing you top quality gay art at affordable prices. With EroticMaleArt.com, you now have the convenience of seeing some of the best male art available in the privacy of your home. You now have the ability to purchase for your own erotic male art collection 24/7.

We are always striving to add more artists -- artists who understand and support our basic belief that top quality art at affordable prices should be readily available to all. We are regularly adding more works by the artists currently represented. Initial response has proven the need and demand for EroticMaleArt.com, and we are working to maintain quality pieces to match the demand. You may occasionally find an artist you admire with all works marked SOLD. We suggest that you visit often to see what is new and to have the opportunity to take advantage of this much-needed opportunity to own top quality erotic male art at very affordable prices.

It is EMA's pleasure to serve you in this way!

Our goal with EMA is three-fold:

• QUALITY ART: a growing selection of top artists and their erotic/sensual male nude works in a variety of artistic media: paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, glass, and pottery.
• AFFORDABLE PRICES: quality works of art that are affordable so that everyone may have the opportunity of owning original erotic male art.
• CONVENIENCE: the ability to view and purchase these works via the Internet.

Many of our artists are artists from whom we have purchased pieces for our own private collection over the years. Others are artists we discovered or who discovered us, and we felt their work met our standards for quality and affordability.

EMA has been called "extremely user-friendly!" Visit our gallery and add the works of art that you want to your shopping cart. When you're ready, you'll be guided through the ordering process, where you can choose to pay by sending us check or money order. When you pay us by check or money order, we'll contact you after we receive your order, to provide further mailing information.

During the payment process, you also have the option of choosing to tell us that you'll pay by check or money order. Presently, this is the only payment method we offer, since PayPal in its myopic wisdom has banned us and similar sites for our content. Please remember that it takes some time for checks and money orders to clear the bank, and for funds to be transferred to the artists before they ship the artworks to you.

We are working toward establishing standard credit card transactions, and hope to make this available during 2004.

Our payment process proceeds as follows after you click 'Check out':

1. Provide shipping information.
2. Create your order.
3. Choose payment method.
4. View order confirmation summary.

YES! Please contact us first by email before placing your order, so we can ensure that you'll be able to pay us via PayPal, which is accepted in many countries, and so that we can ensure receiving accurate shipping information. Shipping costs will be higher, so we'll need to advise you on that, as well. If PayPal doesn't accept payments from your country, we can work out another method of payment. Thank you!

We accept orders 24 hours a day and attempt to process immediately. Prices are subject to change without notice. Receipt of all orders will be acknowledged by email. If an item is not available, you will be notified by email. In no event will we be liable for any claim of incidental or consequential damage arising out of, or in connection with, delivery or use of any items offered.

Your orders will be shipped to you by the respective artists. Please allow 7-10 days for shipping, since artistic items, particularly larger ones, frequently require careful packing. Shipping for larger, heavier items such as paintings, sculpture, pottery, or glass is typically $15-20 or more per piece. Extra shipping is also calculated for artists living abroad, outside the U.S., regardless of where the payment comes from.

Generally, the artists ship their works unframed, to allow our patrons to decide how they want to frame, except whenever it is noted that something is already framed.

We are two husbands, recently joined in a Civil Union, living in the progressive state of Vermont. Jim, 55, is in retail management for a major and popular national Fortune 500 company. Tom, 44, works in the computer field. We have collected and appreciated the male form for years. As our personal collection grows and is appreciated by visitors to our home, we realize that everyone can not easily locate and acquire erotic male art. So we decided to create EroticMaleArt.com.
