Born Richard Allen Lehmkuhl, Reichen is best know for winning season four of the US game show ‘Amazing Race’ with his then partner Chip Arndt. He is, basically, what you would call an all American hunk. He’s been in the Air Force where he rose to the rank of Captain before leaving and has since been an advocate of gay rights in the military. After leaving the Air Force and before becoming famous for Amazing Race he worked as a physics teacher and flight instructor, so this gorgeous bodied god also has a brain. And who says you can’t have everything? Reichen has.But it’s as a model that we’re interested in him and, in 2005 and 2006 he brought out nude and semi-nude calendars. Now he has his own website “Reichen.us” and it is this that I am going to look at next.

On the home page here you can find links to all areas of the site plus external links to his MySpace page and his fans’ forum, so you can get fully personal with him on several levels. The site shifts nicely from page to page, the forum opens in a new window and you will have to register for free to join in with it.

Also on his personal site there is some background information about him in his biography which also carries a great portrait of his gorgeous face and then there is a photo gallery. The ten or so pics here are not the sexy kind; they are snaps from his personal life so you can see him with his friends. You will also find a link to where you can buy his book ‘Here’s what we’ll say’ in which he chronicles his life and times as a gay man in the US Air Force Academy. You come away from the site getting the impression that here is a guy who became famous through TV but used that fame to the advantage of others. Which can only be a good thing and I am sure that it is for this work that he would like to be known, rather than for his relationship with pop singer Lance Bass (‘N Sync), though that is a big part of his life too.

Having had a quick look around his site I wanted to see if I could find you anything more erotic and so did another search on the net. There are some nice topless shots and a couple of him in underwear to be found on mostbeautifulman.com where the page on which he is featured also links to nine images and a gossip blog with pics of him and other famous and beautiful stars.

Narrowing my search to images only I came across misterworld.blogspot.com where I found a nude shot, profile though so a bit of a tease and techstickle where there were some other erotic (but not completely revealing) shots of him and he certainly is a hunk. He’s got a great body, a great smile and the more I see of him the more I like him. And apparently you can see even more of him on Dante’s Cove, which is not TV show I’ve seen before so I hope this isn’t old news. Also, check elquemon.blogspot.com for some more information about this topic.

So is he a male pin up? A celebrity? A campaigner for equal rights in the forces? What exactly is Reichen Lehmkuhl? You will have to work that one out for yourself. I think he is something of a mix of all of those things and then some more on top. He’s got that rare combination of good looks and a good heart and that’s enough to convert me from a researcher into a fan.
