Gay bodybuilding

Homosexuality in bodybuilding: Debunking stereotypes about gays being more into fitness and heterosexual bodybuilders engaging in homosexual services for pay. Bodybuilding and homosexuality form a peculiar duality. On one hand, bodybuilding epitomizes masculinity and macho behavior driven by testosterone.

On the other hand, we see fully shaved men oiled up and in thongs standing on stage or posing for photos that would likely not be out of place in homoerotic magazines and websites. They exist, period. It seems logical given that statistically, you can assume there are homosexuals in any sport practiced by more than 25 people.

I am metro-phobic and have more trouble with straight men wearing scarves in the summer and enjoying shopping with a woman than a gay bodybuilding couple holding hands on the street. In his last interview datedfive months before his death, Mike Mentzer said the following [1]:.

I already mentioned the contrast between the ultra-macho physique of pro-bodybuilders on one hand and the fact that they stand on stage in rather unmasculine posing slips, brown and shiny from tanning. Everyone wants their muscles to be as accentuated as possible, and a dark, shiny skin helps with that.

That this looks gay says nothing about the sexuality of the bodybuilders on stage. In fact, for many, it may have been a reason to hesitate to participate in a competition. For me personally, it was one of the reasons never to compete. However, many overcome this with the thought that this is simply a necessary evil to be successful in bodybuilding.

Bodybuilders who promote themselves via social media gay bodybuilding receive requests from homosexual men to pose in certain ways for payment. Olympia because he once accepted such requests to put bread on the table. However, given his enormous popularity, few seem to care.

He is also certainly not the only one. The chances of making a good salary and securing a pension with professional bodybuilding are gay bodybuilding smaller than those of doing so as a pro footballer. However, it takes more time and money to reach that level as a bodybuilder.

If someone offers to pay you for what you normally do on stage, the barrier is very low. You are not doing anything homosexual yourself if someone with a muscle fetish happens to climax at the sight of your muscles. However, if more and more requests become increasingly erotic, the money involved may be tempting enough for some to abandon certain principles.

That obviously depends on your definition of gay and the services they are tempted to provide. When it comes to internet pornography, men are simply larger consumers compared to women, both heterosexual and homosexual. Both women have millions of followers on Instagram and Facebook, not because they are in the top 5 of women participating in fitness or bikini competitions.

They are popular because they post many photos of themselves online.

The Gayest Sport Of Them All

Photos that they claim motivate other women, but in practice are mainly admired by men. This was well depicted by Louis Theroux in one of his documentaries. In a previous article, I wrote about the fact that men often have a too muscular ideal of the man as perceived by women.

In other words: If they were as muscular as they would like to be, most women would not find this attractive.
