Well, it may make you feel more gay than you already do, and I wish i still had my links on hand, but just go looking around for internet model agencies and follow the appropriate links.
although you may have done this already, in wich case...iiii'll shut up

[u2art]

There are many figure reference books in your local book store, in the art section. Try a large book store chain for more luck. There are TONS of figure reference books out there...maybe even visit your local library, if you are poor like me...if the books are categorized by the Library of congress system check under NC 765.... Good Luck!!

. The Nude Figure : A Visual Reference for the Artist
by Mark Edward Smith
The Human Figure: A Photographic Reference for Artists
by Erik A. Ruby

These are just a few I found on Amazon, check the net too. You cant miss them...there are lots out there, because most people dont have the convenience of drawing from a model.
Just a tip...you can put multiple parts of different bodies together...so it doesnt LOOK like you stole a pose right out of a book...a leg here, an arm there...like Dr. Frankenstein!

be careful when you're drawing from males that have an exposed penis. When I was studying males, I would draw all including the penis (thought why not just practice), and well I now find myself staring at men's crotchs in public when they're talking to me. Often times I put their penis in my mouth as if I had no free will. I wake up with penis in my ass. Yeah, and this has never happend before uhm I started studing the male form. So yeah.. you'll wanna be careful if you don't wanna turn gay,

Rule three, NAH POOFTAS!
Rule four, I don't wanna catch anyone not drinkin'.
Rule five, NAH POOFTAS!
Rule six, there is NAAAAAAAAHHHH... rule six.

Go to chapters store and look up the book "Drawing the Head and Figure" by Jack Hamm. Excellent reference for drawing male anatomy... Also look at some of the older comic books. Wizard magazine used to have artist submit tutorials for drawing the figure and stuff.

you could also get a digital camera and snap some of yourself... that way you never have to show anyone.

oh and if your comfortable with your sexuallity dont let anyone make you feel stupid for wanting to know how to draw 'everything'. You're not gay for wanting to draw it all. In fact knowing where the mans penis is placed on the body can help you learn to draw more realistic folds in cloth and learn other proportions, like when standing upright with hands at the side, the top of the average males palm will be the same height as the bottom of the scrotum. (I know you're all getting out of your chairs to see if Im right)

anyway dunno if any of that helps but people on an Art Forum should be mature enough to discuss these things without getting stupid.

Oh yeah, Im very straight too.

little too much info there Jenn.

The Human Figure by Erik Ruby. The best book I've found.

And it has both men and women, so if you feel too gay you can turn to the naked woman.
