Tyson Beckford is making headlines left and right these days.

First, the hunky male model gave us the scoop on his extreme fitness routine to keep his famous muscles chiseled and sculpted, and now he's in the news for a steamy photo shoot for France's OOB magazine shot by photographer Rodolfo Martinez.

In the racy black and white editorial spread, Beckford shows off every inch of his beautiful body and strips down with 24-year-old Parisian transgender model Ines Rau covered in sultry sweat, their bodies are intertwined, and their lips are locked.

Um, whoa.

Tyson's totally turning up the heat with this one, and it's clearly a bold show of sexual equality on all fronts.

Needless to say, the photos quickly garnered a lot of attention, and Beckford, who is straight, isn't taking any of the criticism to heart.

"It's just a shoot. None of us came off of a spaceship, we are all human," he told E! News exclusively of the provocative spread.

And of course, the nude photos beg the question of just how he gets that hot body.

"Fans have been asking…after seeing this shoot…what's the key to my booty? And I say lots of running and [working out with] the Beckford Bar."

We just like admiring from afar.

Keep it up, Tyson!
