Gay men's (unhealthy) obsession with male beauty and physical perfection ...


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Jingthing: I would submit that your thread title could be edited to just say male vs. gay male. Objectiying female beauty has long been a problem with straight men.

Maybe its a human trait that males generally objectify the object of their desire.

I think it's a male trait (straight or gay), and that females don't objectify male beauty.

I'd like a female (straight or lesbian) to correct me.

Here's a case in point.

George Clooney is a major sex symbol for the ladies.

Sure, he's handsome, but there is something about his look that severely limits his appeal to the gays. He's been a sex symbol to the ladies while younger and older as well.

Good God, Sustento, your really picky!

I am to, but I'd pick almost all of them -- including the one you posted.

Here is a FUN challenge!

Please post the link with your ONE FAVORITE man from the link in the OP:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/77561120@N03/

Not an image from another site ... it's got to be from THAT link. To isolate the link just click on the special one.

OK, I know this will be a challenge for hard core rice queens, but I'm sure you can manage.

As soon as FIVE of you do that ... then I will post mine (which I have already selected).

Otherwise, I won't. It's got to be at least FIVE.

(Real ones, not ironic picks from known straight guys. They will not count towards the FIVE.)

Will there be any overlap in the choices? (I doubt it.)

Good challenge, huh?

These eyes just hypnotize me: https://www.flickr.com/photos/77561120@N03/8105290830/

I want more than hypnotizing.....

I must say I also have standards. Breathing, between 18 and death....

You are cheating! You were supposed to choose one of these guys:

To be honest I don't really fancy any of them. They're all too lumpy for me. Besides - a little rice is nice thumbsup.gif

A little rice is nice - and that's why we live in Asia. But I did like the challenge of choosing a white boy again after such a long time.

BTW your choice wouldn't do anything for me - I think I'm spoiled!

Hehehe... Of course. Those eyes draw you in, and then you are meat.

Some talking head talking about the psychological aspects of this stuff:

Gay men are thought to represent less than 10% of the male population. Yet, research has found they represent up to 42% of the male eating disordered population. HuffPost Live explores this topic with experts and those who have suffered.

Do you guys ever pick anyone your own age? (size, weight, etc)

Just curious.

I picked mine up 28 years ago and is 4 months OLDER, a big milestone this week actually and in all the years we're still the same weight and size if he ever became a fattie then things might change :)

Thank you Todd for an honest, sensible and non defensive answer.

Long may your relationship continue. thumbsup.gif

Wrong thread facepalm.gif

Yup did it again, guess I should have started a separate thread to thank Todd. wink.png

No need for thanks, your new thread made me think outside the box.
