Scandalous Bodybuilder/Fitness Model posing Suits

Gross

That ass bro

Ulisses

Ya know... after seeing a few of Ulisses images I've now concluded he is purposely using cock rings, fluffing, etc, in order to get "the shot"

His penis is way too prominent

[quote]His penis is way too prominent

Ya think?

Lorenzo Becker apparently at least mildly aroused during his performance on stage.

Two, please!

That Ulisses guy is gross from head to tie. Blech.

R8 I see a lot of meat, but no potatoes.

R8 Rocks!

If Miss Universe objectifies women bodybuilding objectifies men even more. Both are similar in that they are based on sex appeal but bodybuilding is even more sexual whereas Miss Univese's sex appeal is toned down.

The thing is, very few bodybuilders or bodybuilder fans refer to it as “sexual” or “erotic.” It’s almost never acknowledged as such. If you mention it in overt sexual terms, you will be viewed as a pervert, creep, weirdo. Same with male fitness modeling. The language of bodybuilding and male fitness is focused on G-rated Aesthetics.

Enjoy!

R14 Yuck.

You won't been as a pervert if you mention that bodybuilding is pretty sexual; what might happen is that would be seen as some kind of threat because saying so immediately makes them feel questioned in their sexuality given that it is mostly men staring at almost naked men flaunting their bodies. Every single bodybuilding fan knows how sexual the very spectacle is and that's the reason why they overreact. A guilty pleasure

Bodybuilding is a phallic spectacle. What does a bodybuilder look like with their hardened muscles and pumped up veins? They look like an erect penis. What does an erect penis symbolise? Strength, power, virility and attractiveness.

Oh, my! Somebody shaves!

.....

Op flutes are hot. Not stringy and cut but full round taters.

What in the world?

Lots of them look...short.

Is the whole thing an attempt to compensate for that fact?

Butt floss!

[quote]Lots of them look...short. Is the whole thing an attempt to compensate for that fact?

The very, very, muscular ones are short and that's why they can build massive muscle easily. "Short" is relative , but 5' 8" - 5' 9" is a perfect bodybuilding height.

R15

All the more for me!

You know, some of the best mr Olympia’s were usually under 5’9

Franco Columbu 5’6

Lee labrada 5’8

Frank Zane 5’9

i don’t know if you noticed but I always find shorter guys can pack on muscle so much faster.

That youtuber Jeff nippard is STACKED and he’s 5’5.

Lou ferrigno had a hard time packing on muscle at 6’4…

so make your on conclusion from there

That guy in R20 is one of the hottest bodybuilders I've seen in a while. God, that ass. I'd pull that posing suit off of him the moment he left the stage. OK, maybe in the rest room. Definitely in the hotel room later that night.

A link to the previous thread...

Marc Andrade, from the previous thread because, well, some things are worth repeating.

R20 is hot in a juicy way that evades bodybuilders when they get to that oily beef jerky point that they show off on the stage.

You mean on the stage of the gay clubs?

More please. I fucking love bodybuilders.

R20’s bod is bangin

Won't bodybuilders be offended by this kind of thread?

Bodybuilders don't build muscles for sex appeal.

Depends on the bodybuilder.

more of r20 please and thank you

You're welcome.

Mike Ergas - stunning.

Does anyone know R20's name? Is he a personal trainer?

R39 Looks like his name is Igrik

Bump

Igrik Tkachenko, in fact.

Oops

You shouldn't be looking at their crotch.

I look at their asses

The guy with the beard in R17 is hot!

R20 Oh my! And I love that there's a certain softness. Not all veiny and hard.

I don't know if any of you know who he is, but I love Johan Karouani because he usually has erections on stage. I have a few pics of them getting hard.

Erections on stage is creepy and Pervy. They should disqualify him

Almost scandalous.

I thought Dataloungers hated bodybuilders. They always say they're gross.

Dani Kaganovich

And, Dani Kaganovich too

You know, I appreciate the more competitive bodybuilders for the artistic arrangement and development of muscles but have 0 interest in sleeping with them. I'd rather have a natural bodybuilder with a little meat on his bones or a "fitness" type. Who wants to cuddle with a statue?

The guy in R58 has a perfect ass.

Sepia tones

[QUOTE]I thought Dataloungers hated bodybuilders. They always say they're gross.

Gay men built the bodybuilding industry.

Camo and shaved.

Ass-tastic!

I like the human version of Dani at r57 much more.

You can buy this bodybuilders used thong lol

He’s pretty cute not sure I’d buy it but i’d sniff it if he was my roomate

"Won't bodybuilders be offended by this kind of thread? Bodybuilders don't build muscles for sex appeal."

Uh, yeah. Didn't stop Ahnuld from fucking Merv Griffin for $10,000 in the 70s. Not sexual, my beefy ass. Take a look at this:

Or this:

The whole "sport" is founded on homoerotica, for god's sake. There was a whole "men's fitness" magazine industry in the 50s that simply pumped out (ahem) magazines featuring pictures of musclemen either nude or in very skimpy underwear.

What the fuck. 😂 Where’d you get Arnold fucking Merv Griffin for 10 grand?

The male fitness models movement is eclipsing bodybuilding today

Merv told people, R71. He loved to brag about it among us family.

He looks like a root vegetable.

He’s not at a posing competition

These "posing Suits" are "Scandalous" is one wants to be scandalised.

I couldn't care less.

Bodybuilders feel offended when gay men sexualize them. Bodybuilding is not about sex they say.

[quote]Bodybuilders feel offended when gay men sexualize them.

Since when?

Many do say that

[quote]Many do say that

And then, they have to buy their monthly gear....

Bodybuilders love attention, R83, particularly when they know gay men will pay to have a look and/or a feel. Much money has exchanged hands in the past 50+ years. I know several bodybuilders who brag about providing "muscle worship" to guys who want it.

But the public side of bodybuilding hates gays and doesn't like bodybuilding to be sexualized R87

Dani

[quote]But the public side of bodybuilding hates gays and doesn't like bodybuilding to be sexualized

What does that even mean? Muscle men running around with their asses hanging out IS sexualization. Bodybuilding is the glorification of the exaggerated male form. Sexualization is part of the deal.

Most men hate the label “gay” and will avoid anything that would explicitly associate them with the stigmatized identity of “gay.” Bodybuilding is not unique in this regard. As long as it’s subtle and masculine, it’s usually okay. It’s the attempt to explicitly label or portray stuff as gay that is resisted

Are you saying bodybuilding is sexual exhibition of the male body?

Most would deny it. The current buzzword is “male aesthetics.”

Bump

Perhaps there is some truth in saying that bodybuilding is sexual, in the end, they glorify a sexualized male body but bodybuilders feel offended when gay guys look at them sexually.

Shahar Kazes

[quote]but bodybuilders feel offended when gay guys look at them sexually.

Says who? Do you speak for all bodybuilders?

You sound ridiculous. I highly doubt anyone feels "offended" (offended??) when a man "looks at them sexually" (what ever that might mean).

Plenty of bodybuilders (including champions) do posing and masturbation videos for money...or internet chats for money (they sure aren't done for a female audience). Or they escort for money. Or have they wealthy "sponsors".

Being a bodybuilder takes lots of time and money. Without gay support many of these men would never be able to compete.

And you have to understand that bodybuilding is even bigger in poorer countries than it is in the US.

Where do you think these guys get their money to pursue such a sport?

Posing

Does anybody else think the gif in the OP is hilarious?

Are you really not aware of the hostility towards gays within the bodybuilding sphere? R97

Moreso overt gays

Yeah, they are cool with some masculine dudebro says they are “Alpha” or a “beast,” but don’t like it when a stereotypically gay guy publicly tries to come on to them or insinuate they are gay.

Bodybuilding should not be sexualized. It's an art form.

Most South American bodybuilders escort and have done jerk-off videos.

[quote]It's an art form.

Yo, dude, wanna buy some art?

[quote]Being a bodybuilder takes lots of time and money.

Time, yes. But money?

R106 You're out of touch with realities of competitive bodybuilding.

*the realities

I most definitely am, r107, hence the question mark at the end of my statement. Would you mind illuminating me? What are these expenses/realities? Dietary supplements? Steroids? Competition fees? Travel expenses? What else?

Not being facetious:

soooo many bodybuilders resemble rotisserie chicken

Many bodybuilders say they don't bodybuild for sex appeal or to be seen as sex objects.

That is true. It’s often to be perceived as Alpha males or dominant men. Also, it’s also a nonsexuak aesthetics thing for many bodybuilders.

Especially since the roids shrink their penises.

Steroids don’t shrink penises

Okay, R114

Preexisting penis

No balls, faint appearance of a penis.

Ummm…

Better get my magnifying glass...

I love that look, I hope the dick is real

R110, it’s the makeup they smear on their bodies

RUMOR: Steroids will change the size of a guy’s penis.

FALSE. This myth gets tossed around a lot, but if a guy says steroids made his penis bigger, then he’s bluffing.

“[Steroid use] does not change penis size for guys who have had normal levels of hormones throughout their lives,” Sebanegh says.

Weinerman agrees: “In general, it shouldn’t affect your penis.”

[quote]soooo many bodybuilders resemble rotisserie chicken

Now, I have a craving for chicken wings.

R122 When a guy with an average to smallish penis builds his body up to gargantuan proportions, it makes his dick look even smaller.

Micro genitalia:

small pic, small dick

It may be a little dishonest for a bodybuilder to state that he doesn't bodybuild for sex appeal or to embody the ultimate ideal of male sex appeal because all bodybuilders bodybuild for sex appeal and sex. Some are more sexually motivated than others but all of them bodybuild for ultimately for sex.

Asserting that there is nothing sexual about bodybuilding and bodybuilding competitions only happens so when there is the suspicion of homosexuality in the air. As a single mass there isn't opposition to sexualization of bodybuilders if women happen to be the onlookers. The very act of putting your body up for competition is an act of sexualization. The sexualization of bodybuilders for gay men is rather implicit, secretive up for interpretation so that people don't feel threatened by homosexual desire.

If you have a look at bodybuilders' IGs-even those at the top level-the vast majority of them sexualize themselves one way or another, implicitly or explicitly. Take, for example, Branch Warren who uploads pics of himself taking women on his shoulders like a primitive man taking a woman for sex. He is sexualizing himself, he is sexualizing his own body, his own muscles as a sign of alpha male status and sexual superiority and he wants people to read him as such.

he's a bottom

The guy at R115... a competitive bodybuilder... does masturbation videos.

[quote]RUMOR: Steroids will change the size of a guy’s penis.

So tired of hearing this stupidity. Steroids affect the testicles not the penis. Jeeeez.

He used to work for MuscleHunks and was a stripper when he was younger too, he doesn't do webcam shows. R129

What is the nude shot from?

Why in the world would those guys posted above pose nude?

Because they get a higher price then

it's scandalous! if I was forced to walk around like that, it would be shameful! I'd be forced to become a bottom slut bitch!

[quote]He used to work for MuscleHunks and was a stripper when he was younger too, he doesn't do webcam shows.

I don't know whether he does webcam or not....but he has done a number of masturbation videos.

Yes, he appeared in gay-oriented videos, but he never did webcam shows as far as I know. Now he lives is family life although still competing R136

R109 I think the food and supplements part is really expensive.

Very expensive

Steroids can cost between $100 and $500 a dosage and a bodybuilder may take more than one dosage a day.

They need the money, honey

R109 If you're a competitive bodybuilder, bodybuilding practically becomes your job. Hours and hours in the gym. Traveling etc.

That's why they escort.

Guys that you would never suspect do. There's a big world-wide market for them. With big bucks.

Here he is today. R115

All you queens bitch and scream about tattoos and how they're disgusting, yet you drool over these unnatural freaks and their abused bodies? Takes all kinds I guess. These guys will look like complete shit in a few years/decades. They cannot maintain this abuse on their bodies. Ugh.. And gross

R144 What do you think you're going to look like at their age?

I just vomited all over my keyboard!!

Do you think there may be any bodybuilders loving or being flattered the kind of attention this thread is centered around from gay guys?

They need the money

Bodybuilding Chile posing trunks highlights

a girl's gotta eat

They like flattery from other masculine dudebros who they view as their manly equals. Studies show bodybuilders tend to strongly adhere to strict conventional gender roles, so you can guess what they think of stereotypical gay and effeminate dudes.

Please post a link to these studies.

Are the gay ones I kn ow are big girleenas

Are bodybuilders a monolith, all of them afraid of homosexuality and with masculinity issues?

Not a monolith, but there are general similarities in attitudes

R149 At least the guys in this video aren't overly built with their gross veins popping out everywhere.

They all appear to have pretty tiny meat, though.

Men obsessed with building muscles are significantly more likely to objectify women, be hostile toward women, and have sexist attitudes, new research finds. This link may come from their own negative body image, the scientists added.

think men who hold oppressive beliefs about women and gender equality are also more likely to endorse traditional stereotypes of masculinity, which includes the muscular physique," Swarmi said.

"In addition, in societies where patriarchal structures are being challenged, some men may seek to reassert their masculinity by enhancing their physiques." For example, they might react to having a female boss by beefing up at the gym.

Mass media

Though they didn't study this directly, it is possible that the sexism and concentration on attaining muscle mass are both linked to increased consumption of mass media, Swarmi said: "It's likely being driven by changes in the way the ideal male physique is portrayed in the mass media."

But that's probably not the only reason for the correlation. "It seems likely that the mass media play a role in increasing levels of drive for muscularity we see in many contemporary societies, but we were interested in broader social influences," Swarmi said, for example, changes in gender dynamics away from a male-dominated society.

"We're arguing that patriarchal attitudes and beliefs also play a role," Swarmi said. Men with ideas that the family or company should be ruled by the man may have trouble dealing with changing gender roles in the modern world. Men may use their muscles to reassert their dominance and masculinity.

The study was published May 28 in the journal Psychology of Men & Masculinity.

So, basically all bodybuilders are heterosexual and all having masculinity issues.

How come there are no gay bodybuilders in such a homoerotic environment that glorifies the male body.

Klein sees a link between narcissism and gender identity and suggests that, "gender narcissism involves the process of mirroring back to a person his or her gender as an ideal" (1993,215). Another theme of interest to Klein is the connection between professional bodybuilding and homophobia. As Klein explains, homophobia is a range of negative attitudes which frame what are considered the borders or limits of masculine identity, the antithesis of which is femininity. Masculine traits do not include so-called feminine characteristics, and femininity is to be avoided at all costs. Muscle, for male bodybuilders, represents a repudiation of feminine characteristics. For Klein this explains why, on the surface, bodybuilders' masculine identity is never in question. "The construction of masculinity in our society is, then, built on the equation of homosexuality with women's effeminacy, and the repudiation of both" (Klein 1993, 219). Homophobia not only regulates a "male identity" it reinforces a hegemonic masculinity. Homophobia and narcissism are, according to Klein, basic constituents of the hypermasculinity so prized in American culture. In Klein's final chapter, "Comic Book Masculinity and Cultural Fiction" (1993), he argues that the crisis of masculinity is experienced similarly by men who do not work out, regardless of how muscled bodybuilders become. Although Klein spends a considerable amount of time describing bodybtulding as a subculture he is evidently aware of how bodybiiilders' notions of masculinity are tied to broader cultural ideals of masculinity.

Chris Coudron is an openly gay bodybuilder

And where does he fit in the so many studies about bodybuilders that portray all of them as heterosexual? R160

Congratulation to him, by the way.

“For most men at the gym, being associated with women, or femininity, was detested and to be avoided at all costs. ”

“The hypermasculinity which surrounds much of the gym is, in part, a reaction to, what Bob might call, societal pressures. The possibility for homoerotic desire of the male body, or the image of hegemonic masculinity, imdermines the orthodox construction of gender. The paradox comes from the fact that the response to consuming images of same sex bodies is in direct conflict with orthodox mascxiline behaviour. Listening to two heterosexual men at the gym complementing another lifter on his muscular development and sexual appeal highlights the paradox. As well. Bob seemed thoroughly disturbed by the fact that he realized that he was paying much more attention to other men, rather than focusing his attention on the women in the gym. As I have learned after many years of working out it is acceptable to gaze at other men and be in awe of their muscular development, but it is not acceptable to find that behaviour sexually stimulating. In fact, if one man accuses another man of looking at men in a sexual fashion there is most often a defense of one's heterosexuality. For example, on occasion I have been witness to individuals criticizing one another about actively watching other men workout. During my time at Club Flex I observed one such incident which demonstrates this point. The gym was filled with people when a bodybmlder from another fitness facility entered the gym floor with a photographer and a couple of trainers^s. Some of the other men in the gym were intrigued by the newcomer, but most did not give him a passing glance. Fie proceeded to do a couple of exercises, perhaps as a means to warm-up his muscles. After these few cursory sets the man pulled his top off to pose for a few photographs. It was at this time that the majority of the male gym members focused their attention on this man, if only, for some, for a brief moment. Upon gazing at this man one member approached another and said, "FFey, maybe ya' should propose?" The man to whom this statement was directed looked embarrassed by the derogatory comment and replied, "Shut up, fag!"

The construction of masculinity that surrounds bodybuilding is tightly linked to homosexual men. The Greek version of masculinity from where bodybuilding also stems is a product of homosexual and bisexual men.

The kind of masculinity that vilifies homosexuality and treats is a a threat is the Judeo-christian version. Today's bodybuilding is conditioned by the Judeo-christian version while still practising a homosexual activity: bodybuilding.

Ummm Okay

lots of pecs

More scandalous suits.

I had sex with Chris Dickerson back in the day. He was Mr. Universe. So there's that.

Pic?

He was the first African-American AAU Mr. America, the first openly gay winner of the IFBB Mr. Olympia contest, and one of only two bodybuilders (along with Dexter Jackson) to win titles in both the Mr. Olympia and Masters Olympia competitions.[2]

Dickerson won the Mr. Olympia once (1982), a distinction he shares with Samir Bannout (1983) and Dexter Jackson (2008).

Dickerson retired in 1994.

Are gay men filthy for seeing sex in bodies that exacerbate secondary sex traits?

Are bodybuilders hypocrites who exploit sexuality while stating they don't want to be sexualized?

There is the Secondary Sex Traits Troll.

R180, the gays LOVE being sexualized, Mary

Every professional bodybuilder and trainer I’ve met has no problem being specialized and many flirt with gay guys and seek modeling, dancing, training, bar tending, escorting employment that cater to gay guys.

Where are we coming up with the ridiculous notion that they ignore or even disdain where their bread is buttered?

Specialized >> sexualized

they specialize in SEX

It’s erroneous and reductionist to paint all bodybuilders with a broad brush. Yes, there are some that are gay-friendly for cultural, political, or marketing purposes. There are some that at least covertly embrace being sexualized. But there is a significant percentage of bodybuilders that are authentically socially and politically conservative, who somehow do not think of what they are doing as sexual or erotic. Some bodybuilders are devout religious conservatives who strongly believe lust and any sex outside marriage are gravely Immoral and sinful. This includes amateur and hobbyist bodybuilders as well as professionals.

Just as erroneous to assume “great percentages” or say things like “most” or “many.” I based my statement strictly on those I know and therefore questioned OP’s sweeping generalization on the side of conservatism.

Sorry, meant to address r13, not OP.

I do think many gay men who have encountered willingly overtly sexualized bodybuilders tend to presume that just because a guy is a bodybuilder, he is okay with being sexualized or propositioned. Well, no, and it’s offensive if the person is not into that to communicate with them in a way that presumes they are. If the bodybuilder has a negative reaction, it’s on the person who presumed they are open to overt sexualization.

They need to hide back in the closet then

Who?

The problem with that statement is that bodybuilding is actually very sexual. Bodybuilders tend to have higher sex drive due to higher levels of testosterone which means they think of sex and need sex much morre than the average man. Yeah, some bodybuilders are so-called conservatives and even religious although that shows the contradiction they live in where they turn a blind eye to the conflict between what they practise (bodybuilding) and the religion they believe in which typically looks down on sex and obsession with physical appearance. R186

R192 if that was true then all the muscular guys on apps and websites would be down to fuck but they never seem to be horny or available.

Yes, because we know conservative people shy away from sexual encounters and illicit affairs...

Being horny does not mean wanting to fuck everybody R193

Precisely r195, and to the extent that a person is horny, that person may also feel very guilty or ashamed of that feeling if it conflicts with their deeply held beliefs or convictions. We see this all the time

They is a big problem then, their problem.

[quote]But there is a significant percentage of bodybuilders...(...)... who somehow do not think of what they are doing as sexual or erotic.

You mean the mentally retarded ones?

Take the case of Davy Muscle, a homophobic bodybuilder who loves to talk about his christian beliefs and that marriage and sex is only between a man and a woman, yet despite his religious belief he appears literally naked on his IG flaunting his muscles which is not what christians should be doing. Some of these bodybuilders think that just because they are heterosexual then sexualization is OK with god. They have clearly not read the bible.

R151 yet have no problems asking them for money and things.

[quote]Take the case of Davy Muscle

Yep....

So, would you say that those bodybuilders who say they feel offended by gay men's eyes on them are a tiny but too vocal minority?

(sigh...) Those Christian menz....

Silly

It is said that Davy Muscle used to do webcam shows and sell his worn underwear to gay men. The same people he bashes with his hypocritical belief in christianity on his social media.

Silly outfits. We need more.

Skimpy!

"a lot of bodybuilding is a way to present yourself as being a man's man, one that other men will look up to and be awed and impressed by. so, like a lot of other signifiers of masculinity, it's a performance men put on for other men's approval. seems natural to me that that would often turn sexual."

The "dark" side of bodybuilding.

Oh wow

Another thing that adds to their need for money is Instagram: the need to show a successful luxurious lifestyle. That costs money.

Bodybuilders tend aspire to live easy luxurious lives only by flaunting their muscles.

I’m here for it, bro

Oh, dear Lord.... Especially at 3:19

Let me deviate a bit; I'm curious about something. Here is a shot of Vic Seipke, a champion bodybuilder. He and other bodybuilders of the 50s-60s era kept their pubic hair intact, (the competition posing suits were much more conservative at the time) and many went full-frontal for photographers. So, which came first, the skimpier posing suits or the desire to shave the crotch clean? Are there any modern bodybuilders who don't shave their crotches anymore?

The tiny posing suits was a gradual process, although it is known that throughout the history of modern bodybuilding many bodybuilders pushed the boundaries to the point it was necessary to regulate the size of posing suits to avoid explicit sexualisation of the "sport" by bodybuilders. That pretty much reveals that bodybuilders also experience an element of eroticism in being a bodybuilder.

I've been told the posing suits are smaller because the bodybuilders want to display some lower abdominal muscles the older, more conservative, posing suits did not. Hence, the shaving as well. When did the evolution go into high gear?

R218 The bodybuilder smoking a cigarette. Ha!

The size of posing suits is regulated for all bodybuilding competitions around the world I would say. The fear of bodybuilding becoming a sexual spectacle that may scare the family and heterosxual men away was the concern. But the reality today is that no one respects that clause anymore. As you have seen in the pics lots of bodybuilders keep wearing them smaller and more revealing. You may wonder why judges and bodybuiding organizations still have the clause but don't really put it into action...

Link to the regulation?

Bodybuilding rules.

Music is also regulated, no "vulgar music" meaning sexual. But they always pose to sexualized music anyway.

Here's former Mr. California (and extremely hunky) John Corvello in his 60s posing suit. He was a perennial bodybuilding magazine cover model.

Here’s John Corvello for Colt Studios. He was also a Playgirl model in the 70s. If every bodybuilder wearing a modest posing suit looked like this underneath it (there’s a lesson here, skimpy suit wearers) I would be a much bigger fan of bodybuilding. Sometimes a conservative approach, and a strategy to determine how to unveil, is far more sexy than letting almost everything show from the get-go.

Purple

R226. He’s got a beautiful classic look

r228, pretty in purple

R216 Then they like to preach about hard work and "no excuses" while at the same time plug their "fan" page or personal training sessions

R223 the new generation, most bodybuilding shows now have long board shorts or boxer brief like posing suits. Most people caught on to the skimpy sexual nature I guess

Who is the guy in the OP?

I know they like to show off striated glutes in competition, which is why posing suits have so little ass coverage.

But blatantly highlighting the dick is definitely a no-no, for the simple reason that it upstages the physique.

And it’s vulgar and crass

[quote]And it’s vulgar and crass

Yeah, that’s the reason

You may be talking about the Men's Physique category. You know, that category was created in part to attract more women to bodybuilding as audience because it is usually said that women like less muscular bodies and, in turn, make bodybuilding less gay to the public eye. R231

Crass with so much ass

The posing suits are small because their dicks are tiny.

Scandals

Scandalous

pearl clutchers

Bodybuilding has always been playing around eroticism. You simply cannot separate bodybuilding from the erotic.

Bodybuilding is literally a mild form of stripping, bodybuilders literally do the same a male stripper does, they both appear on a stage scantily clad and they both use their bodies to impress their audience. Why do they have judges in bodybuilding if not to judge their body beauty? If people feel eroticised by the sight of a bodybuilder it is simply the natural reaction to a spectacle that brims with erotic appeal. There is nothing really valuable about muscles except for sex appeal.

Take iT all off

I know quite a few competitive bodybuilders. When they are onstage, the last thing they are thinking about is oozing sex appeal. They are more concerned their muscles will actually flex as expected, they hit on the right notes of their background music, their water weight hasn't bloated them, their tan isn't too dark or too light, the judges are seeing them from the right angle and are judging fairly. After they walk off stage, all they can think about is food and water, food and water.

They may get laid that night if they have a significant other. Otherwise they are exhausted and fall asleep.

The fact that some bodybuilders experience decreased sex drive during competitions does not mean that the show is deprived of eroticism and that bodybuilders don't intend to look sexier than average men. It only takes to go to one bodybuilding show and see that many bodybuilders one way or another sexualize their presence on stage either subtly or explicitly. It can be the posing suit, the music they choose, the look in their eyes, etc.

It should be clear to anyone in this video how Steve is being provocative with the flexing, pec bouncing and even the conviniently loose posing suit which gives a clear look at his bouncy balls and cock. He even approches a man right off the stage to literally rub his muscles on his face.

Sexy sluts

R245 was doing nothing but looking like an Alpha man. Many bodybuilders bounce their pecs because they can (and many other men cannot.) They bounce them all the time at the gym. They shake their legs to loosen them up before they flex them, so the flex is deeper and more noticeable. The strut and arm flexing at the end of the routine was used to make a lasting statement of his strength. There was nothing sexual here, at least not in the intent. I completely understand members in the audience may find the posing stimulating; its not lost on the bodybuilders, either. To them, that's collateral. They want to look the biggest and the baddest on stage. If you attend bodybuilding shows, watch the obvious bodybuilders in the audience, they are competing to look the biggest and baddest in the lobby and in the seats. Sometimes the audience is more entertaining than the bodybuilders in the show.

Many of the men onstage may be open to an opportunity to earn money by displaying their bodies privately. That's collateral, as well. The minute they walk out of the room where they display themselves privately, they're thinking about the amount of protein and carbs they haven't consumed that day yet. Or they are counting the money they just received and wondering where they parked their car. The client was a client, that's all. They are putting "supply" and "demand" into practice. You demand, they supply. It's a business transaction.

I think a bodybuilder is sexy as hell. But on that's me, not him. He wants me to see the thickness of his pecs. I am looking at his nipples. He wears a tiny posing suit to show off the lowest striations of his abs. I'm looking at how bulbous the head of his cock is. If there were nude bodybuilding competitions, there would be bodybuilders willing to enter them. I'd be looking at their cocks. They'd be worried about visible stubble surrounding them. I'd look at how low their balls are hanging. They would be worried I wouldn't see the full extent of their inner thighs.

I'm playing devil's advocate here. To bodybuilders, it's all about the show. We enjoy them sexually. Let's not give them so much credit.

R245 That bodybuilder does gay porn.

R247 is correct. A lot of people here project “sexual” unto things just because they are sexually attracted by it. In this case, bodybuilders often Aren’t intending to be sexual or erotic; only a certain segment of gay men are responding to them sexually. Some people here conflate Alpha male peacocking and showmanship with being flirtatious and sexually provocative.

You probably don't know who he is. Like R248 said, he's been in gay porn for over ten years now doing jerkoff videos and striptease-like videos for the gay-oriented studio JimmyZ. His stage name is Hans Hoffmann. He is a very sexual heterosexual bodybuilder who isn't afraid to be provocative on stage. Watch his YT channel and his IG. He is not innocently bouncing his pecs; he is clearly enticing and provoking with his moves. You probably cannot read the subtext when a bodybuilder implies one. He knows his audeince, he is not fooled by anyone and he knows what they want and he does what he enjoys. By the way, the bodybuilder in the gif posted by OP is also Steve Benthin. R247

[quote]like [R248] said, he's been in gay porn for over ten years now doing jerkoff videos and striptease

He's also done a couple of videos where he's blown.

The R245 bodybuilder isn’t even in competition shape - he’s got a lot of fat and water on him. So all he’s doing is putting on a coded sex show for closeted admirers.

[quote]Some people here conflate Alpha male peacocking and showmanship with being flirtatious and sexually provocative.

Most of these are pro bodybuilders. Not under their real names of course. But they can all be identified. Many are champions.

What do you think...they're doing jerk off videos for women?

[quote]The [R245] bodybuilder isn’t even in competition shape - he’s got a lot of fat and water on him. So all he’s doing is putting on a coded sex show for closeted admirers.

It's always a war against aging and the natural progression of the body.

R253, those are exceptions to the larger general rule.

No 255: they are the tip of the iceberg.

More competitive and pro body builders that do gay porn.

What percentage are these outliers of the entire universe of bodybuilders, amateur, hobbyist, and competitive?

They are sex fiends

R258 A large percentage.

But most do their hustling in private not on video.

We are not seeing sex where there isn't; we are seeing sex where there is. The very act of standing big and beautiful among equally big, beautiful and nearly naked men to be judged by people based on a criteria of ideally masculine beauty is a sexual endeavour itself.

Objectifying the male physique is in of itself a sexual act.

So is self-objectification which bodybuilding is all about.

Bodybuilders are like mopeds, they're fun to ride but you don't want anyone to see you on it.

A bodybuilder on a competition stage is consumed by the idea he has to have the biggest chest, the veiniest arms, the darkest tan, the deepest cuts, the baddest music, the most masculine attitude on stage. He is starving and he hasn't taken in water in three days. The last thing he is thinking is "I hope some people are turned on by this. I know I am."

Offstage, it may be a different story. But while posing and flexing, he wants the trophy, that's it.

R263, I beg your pardon?

R265, a performer.

Bodybuilders objectify themselves by modelling their bodies under a specific ideal of male beauty and putting them up for scrutiny. R266

they find the time too for escorting and body worship

they create scandal wherever they go

What's body worship?

new around here?

Chase

Chase

sort of scrawny

In primitive times humans needed strong muscle men to increase their chances of survival either to fight off rival clans or to defend their community from wild animals. Obviously, because they were strong they had to risk their safety for the sake of their community which relied on their physical superiority.

In order to encourage men to become strong for the sake of their community nature sexualized the male body, nature sexualized their muscles making muscles men sexier and giving them more chaces o have sex which is benefitiona for the body and mind. So, they fight for us and in turn nature give them more sex.

So basically, the reason why gay men love muscles and eroticise masculinity is because nature tries to encourage men to be stronger for the community and nature rewards them with more sexual pleasure. It's a sexy cycle of strength and sex.

the reason strong men wear scandalous posing suits is because they are hot little sluts

Sexy, the way a man needs to be

SCANDALS

Why are their dicks so small? Or is it the balls?

It's definitely a trend given the pics...

R276, It's interesting then that while men's bodies haven't become more muscular through time, their intellect has increased. I know many people find an intelligent man incredibly sexy and muscle men brutish. How does that figure in?

it's a scandal

Just because a guy likes muscles doesn't mean he doesn't like or feel attracted to other qualities in other people. That's reductionism.

As with many things in life nothing is an absolute in sex. What nature seems to do is favouring certain traits if they will help a species. In this case, strong men certainly increased the chances of a community to survive. In order to promote and encourage men to become strong nature eroticized muscles and masculine traits. The greater need for sex and the greater chances for sex that muscle men certainly have is nature rewarding them so that they stay strong for as long as they are young; that way physicality feels more pleasurable and some mor men would do.

Gay men are not being shallow for liking bodybuilders. It's simply our instincts, nature doing its thing for the sake of our species. Have you noticed how common it is among gay couples spending time in the gym or doing regular exercise?

Gay men love scandals though

You want some scandal? Read this. Eugene Mishin

An older thread with Mihin. From these you can see how bodybuilding and sex go hand in hand.

Russians make the best whores and hustlers

Notice how Eugene's tomboy wife, Lena, attacks the other users with a homophobic attitude in the first thread. Her husband engages in gay erotica yet she is a homophobe. Eugene even stripped for men in one of those JimmyZ videos.

he's sucked cocks in the past

Here's pro bodybuilder Paul Krueger. He won't fit in a typical posing suit, so he embraces it. He knows we're all in on the joke.

I've never seen nudes or heard anything about private posing. What I wouldn't give...

I'm sure I have seen pics of Paul Krueger naked apparently for some old website. He doesn't show his cock but still fully naked and smiling. I can't believe I never saved any of those.

I have always wanted to watch that USAMuscle video. Not only Paul but also all the other bodybuilders seemed to have given a pretty sexulized spectacle if you watch the preview.

Penis line just in case any judges will give them more points.

I find this SCANDALOUS

Why is it so offensive that many of the men regardless how heterosexual tey may act in public and the girlfirnds they may have actually like bodybuilding because they experience some degree of attraction to men? Is it really unlikely that a huge number of thoe men are turned on by muscle men to any degree? This is a fucking beauty pageant.

Have you ever been in a hard-core bodybuilding gym, R294? One where they stare at themselves in the mirrors endlessly, where they act like indignant peacocks with ruffled feathers when a bigger guy walks in, where they grunt loudly while doing squats, where they are oblivious their string tank tops don't come close to covering their nipples? They are more like cavemen than renaissance men. They're not giving a thought to how other men look. They scowl when other men look at them. It isn't the gay games by any stretch of the imagination. Bodybuilding is business. The only person they are focused on is themselves. It would be likely one or two might be gay and closeted; you wouldn't know who they were. No signals would be coming our way. I know enough straight bodybuilders with wives and kids to know a bodybuilder seeking the assets of other men would be in a small minority.

There are all kinds of personalities and sexual orientations in the gym as a whole, but please, bodybuilding is all about sexy bodies of men. There is nothing incogruent about gay men and muscles; they go hand in hand becase the mae body is our thing. R295

If bodybuilding is all about sexy bodies of men (and I'm all for it), why are they bothering to wear posing suits at all? If we're going to judge a sexy body, I prefer to see everything before I score it. The male body is our thing, after all.

This model, for example, scores major points (from me) in areas unrelated to the sinew of his body. If the original Olympians competed naked, and were considered heroes if they brought back a gold medal to their city-states, then why the hell are we expecting some body parts to be tucked away in a tiny nylon/spandex pocket? Can a competitive bodybuilder also have a beautiful cock?

If we're judging sexy. give me sexy. Why else are they on stage?

Thanks r293, I just vomited my Raisin Bran all over my cat.

Just because an activity like bodybuilding is founded around and exploits male sex appeal doesn't mean it has to become an explicitly pornographic spectacle. Something can me sexual or sexually stimulating without having to remove all clothes. R297

Does Miss Universe judge the sexiness of female beauty? Why are womne competing standing beautiful and scantily clad?

The idea is judging secondary sex traits of men; not their sex organs. Although that doesn't rule out the fact that some bodybuilders do in fact choose certain posing suits in case it may help them seduce judges and condition their judging.

Nudity does not equal pornography. You can pose nude without stimulating the audience sexually. If it's too stimulating, that's on you, not the bodybuilder. It's not much different than a bodybuilder posing nude for an art class. How many students have to excuse themselves from the classroom because their libidos overrule their concentration?

There are people out there who see a direct correlation between the muscles of a bodybuilder and overt sexual stimulation, no matter how much the bodybuilder insists they are not on stage to generate that stimulation. Then those same people decide how much sexual stimulation is too much, limiting the bodybuilder in their choice of posing attire. You can't have it both ways.

Example B

What the hell. Example C

You could see his cock if you stood next to him.

God these guys are disgustingly ugly. And you guys bitch about tattoos "ruining" bodies?!? JFC, your priorities are beyond screwed.

I have a bodybuilder friend who poses nude for life-drawing classes at the local university. He says its tougher than being onstage, you have to hold frozen poses for ten-fifteen minutes at a time. He doesn't modify his body hair, it was a requirement for the gig. He says the students and he often socialize together. If he's not uptight about it, and the art students aren't uptight either, then aren't there enough grown-ups around to create room for a nude contest in this universe?

Me thinketh that some of you 'mos doth protesteth too much...

Nudity would ruin bodybuilding as a profitable spectacle and industry because men could not explain how their interest and fascination with beholding naked men with their cocks in the open who flaunt their sexy bodies in a beauty contest is not flat-out (homo)sexually-inclined. They can more or less deal with the homoerotic overotnes of bodybuilding but they could do it with explicit nudity.

Suggesting rather than being explicit is what keeps bodybuilding less threatening for heterosexual men. R300

And it keeps it from being. Stigmatized as pornographic or shameful. Your couldn’t bring kids to nude bodybuilding

Hey, bitches, I won a GOLDEN GLOBE for Evita. It's like the whole WORLD is giving you an award!

Rico Gomez Lopez

Here is Tony Sansone. He was one of America's first "professional" bodybuilders. Charles Atlas mentored him and called him "the Most Beautiful Man in America". He modeled for paintings, sculptures and photographs during his career in the 1920s-30s, mostly nude. People in the "physical culture" movement were more enlightened then.

Eugen Sandow. Arguably the first man in the world to make a career of bodybuilding. He was a frequent life-model as well.

What could be so fascinating for heterosexual men to lose their minds watching nearly naked muscle men?

Everything bound bodybuilding exudes homoerotic appeal.

Frank Zane in the "vacuum pose."

Tom Platz, the Quad Father.

The several people who have submitted most of the weekend's posts here are on entirely different playing fields. You can't have a discussion if one person is a competitive bodybuilder who claims he doesn't feel an iota of sexual appeal as he builds his muscles, and another person insists a bodybuilder must have some need to show off his penis, whether he knows people are looking at it or not. One person says the bodybuilder wants people to appreciate the size/thickness of muscles he has worked out for the past five/ten years. Another says the bodybuilder has no reason to be onstage other than to provide some element of sexual tension. Who knows what the audience is really thinking? Who's more right here?

It is very unlikely there isn't a degree of sex appeal involved in building muscles. What happens is that some bodybuilders are more motivated by sex than others but all of them pursue the ultimate ideal of male sex appeal and that's what bodybuilding competitions celebrate.

Don't forget that this kind of physical exertion raises sex drive and if you add steroids to the mix sex drive goes crazy high.

The only bodybuilders who don't experience this are those who have lost their sex drive due to anabolics but even then in their minds sex still exists.

This guy has to be injecting silicon. He is also R311

Brandon in R316 is hot!

Scandalous in red.

I swear I've seen R325 naked. That tattoo looks so familiar.

Sandow had a nice ass.

Sandow from the front

I had never seen a nude of Sandow until R314. He invested heavily in fig leaves. I've heard he was nude when he put on private exhibitions for large groups of people; the muscles were still the main attraction.

R324, totally agree! Brandon is HAF!

Sandow is a king

R325 violates the youtubes!

Sandow is HAF.

Thanks for the great shots of Sandow. I've also hear he was naked when he posed for professional groups of people, researchers, etc... The fig leaves were for public consumption.

What a pioneer!

Bisexual he was. The very little detail that haunts the bodybuilding industry. How could they sell bodybuilding as a super heterosexual "sport" if people were to know who the father of modern bodybuilding loved sexually and romantically?

From an old professional gentleman's club competition.

From another early competition.

Same competitior, R336.

Another vintage competitor.

The old athletic clubs were all about nudity, and nothing about nudity...

Last one... Sandow brought back memories of a time when nudity wasn't a big deal.

The ancient Greek gymnasium also abounded with naked men with sexy bodies who even had sex with each other.

One more last one... college swim team.

I used to work out at one of those athletic clubs. Men have been swimming nude there for over a hundred years. They didn't have goggles back then. Now you can watch the dangled bits go by as you do laps. I knew who was swimming in the lanes next to me by their pubic hair.

I never had overt sexual thoughts while looking at these men, and some of them had the bodies of gods. There was nothing going on in the steam room. It was all totally professional. Maybe that's the way bodybuilding is to the men who do it.

People (99% men) who are fan of bodybuilding have no interest in art, they don't spend money on museums or taking art classes. These people love the implied mesages of the muscular body, they like the idea od strength, power and sex. That's all.

"Yeah, flex harder, yeah baby"

In reproductive years that' why men do bodybuilding, they want to become living staues of "male perfection" and sex appeal.

For R345.

Chris Dickerson is also an opera singer. Bob Birdsong is an artist. Alex Ardenti and Earl Maynard are filmmakers. Kevin Levrone is a musician. Bob Paris is an artist and writer. Lee Haney is a minister. I think of them off the top of my head.

While the vast majority of bodybuilders only want to appear on mags scantily clad and sexy and enjoy orgies and travel to expensive paradises.

Uh no

I wonder why bodybuilders love Dubai so much...

Well, you're not watching the whole story here :P

Scandalous older guy first 8 seconds.

What professional bodybuilders have done porn?

By "professional" you mean famous? Professional is a complicated word under the context of bodybuilding because it is not a profession or a field that needs a degree to become a bodybuilder. And by "porn" you mean penetrative sex only or sex in general?

Kai Greene is the most known case of a highly successful bodybuilder who was in gay porn, although apparently he was previously a stripper so he was a sexual man from the beginning.

I don't think you will hear many names from top bodybuilders but it is also well known that behind closed doors they may provide some private services to rich men and bodybuilding judges. Some pics and rumours seem to indicate they may not be against intimate appreciation from men...

[quote]How many calories do you think these guys consume to maintain.their physique or even continue to gain?

That's too general of a question. I have a friend that will literally eat 3 large pizzas in one sitting but he would have been exercising like a maniac. Like he does 300 reps (I'm not joking) of exercises. Imagine doing 300 dips? And then more!

Well obviously it depends on the circumstances but it's at least 3000 calories right?

Do you really think bodybuilders are sex objects??

I think they are sluts

While it is true that there is a lot of sex in bodybuilding, I was reading a book about an old bodybuilder who briefly mentioned all the heterosexual and homoexual sex there is in the industry behind close doors not all bodybuilders are sluts or selling sex.

A lot are

Some aren’t

Did you ever hear aout this bodybuilder who is also a priest?

This is a real bodybuilder. No softness. All those upthread are just show offs who want to be sexualized.

Do you really believe he didnt pick up bodybuilding because he wanted to look hotter than most men? R392

Whether you like the look or not that is another topic but all men who do bodybuilding have the same things in mind: looking hotter and more sex.

I began bodybuilding to counter a medical condition, R393. I'd like to believe I'm sexier because of it, but I and most bodybuilders I know consider it shallow. Many women don't like the look, and many men are intimidated by it. It's not a recipe to get laid. My face, brainpower and personality have not changed. A hardcore gym is not a sexy place to hang out. I think you need to do some more research.

Most bodybuilders don't have a condition other than wanting to look good. R394

Are you hetero? No one here cares about what women find attractive about men.

I do dude

I’m scandalized Every time I see this thread!

Wow bruh

how on earth is that a posing pouch, ma'am?

[quote] I'd like to believe I'm sexier because of it, but I and most bodybuilders I know consider it shallow.

What does that even mean? Consider what shallow? Bodybuilding? Then why do you do it, r394? Or are you trying to convince us how high minded you bb'ers are?

Saying that bodybuilders consider sexiness shallow is an oxymoron. Bodybuilding is about looks. You've got thousands of bodybuilding contests every year arouqnd the globe with thousands of men competing for who looks better.

The shape and size of their own particular muscles is of utmost importance to bodybuilders, regardless of how other people see them. Sexiness has nothing to do with it; that could be perceived as shallow.

HAHAHAHAHA, r403. It is ALL about sex.

R403 Why are you making this so personal? It's not about YOU.

Bodybuilding is about looks. And plenty of the world's top competitive bodybuilders use their bodies to earn money through escorting and so forth. It's well known... why are you trying so hard to deny it?

Well, the very act of standing nearly naked to be judged for your ideally masculine body is in itself about sexiness. You don't need to be an escort to call it sex.

Do they get into bodybuilding because their dicks or so small, or does bodybuilding make their dick look as tiny as these guys?

I've always wondered

I have worked in proximity to bodybuilders for the past 35 years, in gyms, in promotions, in trade shows. The overwhelming majority of these men don’t look at themselves as sex symbols. They are everyday doctors, engineers, lawyers, musicians. Many of them have families. They have a profound interest in the physical development and growth of muscle. I’ve heard men make goals of benching ten reps with twenty more pounds by the end of six months, modifying their workout routines to increase the size of their biceps by two inches in three months, correcting their form while doing squats over a period of a couple of weeks. They view it as a challenge to themselves to achieve their personal growth goals. I can think of ten out of several hundred over the past three decades who have indicated they desire overt sexual pleasure or worship as a goal to achieve. Why are all bodybuilders associated with the intentions of a very small percentage of the community? I see people here paint a wide brush saying ALL bodybuilders are motivated by sex. ALL audiences want to compare sex appeal among contestants. It’s CRAP. These people do not know bodybuilders. Considering it all about sex IS shallow. Go to any gym and interview a couple of dozen bodybuilders regarding these theories. You will be disregarded as credible. Ask them why they desire to wear a tiny, tiny posing suit. It’s the same reason they coat themselves with tinted oil. They want the definition of muscle to be highlighted. Their penises are the farthest thing in their minds. I know some who would be so insulted by your preconceptions they would walk away from the interview. I do take offense when someone makes assumptions about the motivations of some very good people I have known for decades. I feel like I need to defend them here, because I see the truth. I know the men. If you have a theory about industry-wide sex appeal and bodybuilding, something you can show overwhelming proof, link us to the research.

Not all gay men are flamboyant. Not all of us like anal sex. Not all of us have three or four sex partners a week. We all know what marginalization is. Give bodybuilders the same respect and understanding we desire.

Exactly. The projection of sexual motives on muscle bros here is comically pitiful. Most are not pursuing bodybuilding mainly out of sexual motives

[quote] If you have a theory about industry-wide sex appeal and bodybuilding, something you can show overwhelming proof, link us to the research.

you're in a bubble, dearie. outside your gym, bodybuilders are only viewed as sex objects. sorry to break it to you, sweetie.

It's what I've been saying all along (rank amateur, speculating). They don't show off their dicks for the singular reason that it would distract from the physique. They wear thongs solely to show off glute striations. It's all about form.

how charming. . . . .

[quote]I know some who would be so insulted by your preconceptions they would walk away from the interview.

Mary!

Any person with half a brain should understand that to the wider public, men parading around in ultra skimpy posing suits flexing their muscles has a sexual connotation.

Pretending it doesn't is idiotic.

Usually, bodybuilders won't talk about the sex part of bodybulding with anybody because they don't want to be perceived as narcissistic and sex crazed, but if you have the chance to be more intimate with them sex floats in the air. It's not that bodybuilders see themselves as sex objects or are thinking about that all the time; it's that they want to look hot as hell. Part of their high self-esteem is precisely because sex is highly accessible to them which most men don't experience.

All bodybuilders started doing it fascinated with the idea of looking hot, and then ideas of power, strength, but it is hotness that lifts their self-esteem and hotness is what theindustry exploits.

R414, totally, “it’s only about the shape I’m in” in a society that glorifies sex appeal is extremely extremely naive

How could an acitivity that exploits secondary sex traits of men as bodybuilding not be sexual?

exactly

I agree with R409 that the number of bodybuilders who are motivated by sexual pleasure are a very small minority among them. The men posted and talked about here are the only ones we address in this thread. If they didn't have the attributes we are seeking, we're not going to spend any time on them here. We seek pictures which comply with our beliefs and we draw attention to them.

That said, I am very attracted to men who are willing to show off every inch of their bodies. I always enjoy looking at the clothed picture of a Colt or Playgirl model, knowing I am going to see him naked when I turn the page. Their willingness to go that extra mile makes them hot. SO hot. There are very many bodybuilders I have seen who are not attractive to me, or I fear might beat me up if I asked them to show me what's underneath the posing suit. I'd venture they are 80% of the total population of bodybuilders out there. We are talking about the 20% who fit our criteria. We can't put all the rest of them in the same box for our pleasure.

They can be motivated by God, the outcome is a sexual feat.

.....

SCANDALOUS

Indeed bro

What do strong men do when they want to attract sexual attraction from a person they feel interested in? They flaunt their muscles because developed muscles are a sign of male sexual maturity, sexual availbility and strength. Men are supposed to feel good and sexy when they flex their muscles and, in turn they evetually stimulate the eventual partner. This is instinctive, the primitive form of courtship performed by men.

How could bodybuildiqng not be sexual when it is all about enhancing secondary sex traits and flaunting them as when men courted in primitive times? Bodybuilders literally court the judges on stage with their display of muscularity and flexing. It is indeed courtship.

Please list your source material, R424. Which research are you referencing?

Crazy talk

Edgars Šņepsts

Lots of tiny meat.

Flex

smooth and tanned

Keep repeating that to yourself R409. Sooner or later you will get how stupid you are.

Oh please. do you really need studies for something so obvious? Have you ever seen what adult male birds do when they are sexually active? They show off their plumage, they make their sex traits visible. it is the same thing bodybuilders do and muscle men in general do; making muscles bigger and showing them off is how adult male humans express their sexual maturity and availability. R425

Most bodybuilders I know want to grow muscle. That's the bottom line. They want to see progress and get bigger. I've never known a bodybuilder who was motivated by sexual display. They want to grow two more inches on their biceps, four more inches on their chests, three more inches on their thighs. The only people they want to impress are themselves. It's a challenge, a goal to achieve. I think we're adding a sexual element which doesn't apply to the majority. Yes, they like to pose in a skimpy suit, but only because they want us to see how big their muscles are. That's what they want to accomplish. "I want you to admire the gains I've made." If anything sexual was afoot, the majority would perform in strip clubs to get their jollies, not a bodybuilding stage.

"Have you ever seen what adult male birds do when they are sexually active?"

Birds, including the males, shit all over humans cars. Should humans be emulating that particular behavior? You seems to think so.

Your comment makes no sense R434

Maybe it’s just my experience, but I’ve worked out at a World Gym for ten years, full of bodybuilders and a gorilla mascot, and I see how radically they change getting ready for a competition. They wear sweat shirts and sweat pants for several weeks before the contest, so others cannot see how they’re growing. Their diets become a mix of chicken, potatoes, broccoli and eggs, and none of them like it. They shave their entire bodies daily, so they don’t get ingrown hairs making an appearance onstage. Most don’t enjoy wearing a tiny posing suit in front of hundreds of people, they’d rather have bigger suits which cover more of their groin. They don’t drink fluids for several days prior to the competition. They put pressure on themselves to do well for the businesses that sponsor them. They are pains in the ass to be around as the contest gets closer, and they are so relieved to eat and drink again the night after the contest is over. Why would anyone do this for one night of being sexy on a stage? The men I know have different motivations. They want to rub it in if they place higher than others. It's being the biggest and baddest. It's more gorilla and less peacock then some here are painting it. I don't see "sexiness" in bodybuilding culture at all, and I know most of them enough to be invited to their weddings, to celebrate their work promotions, to be asked to join in on family dinners. They do have minds which think differently than most, but sexiness is not a part of the equation.

Precisely bro

How could a bodybuilder hate wearing posing suits and get on stage when they work out for exhibition? It is like saying a teacher who loves teaching hates teaching. It makes no sense.

You make it sound like working out to build sexy bodies is imposed on them when no one imposed it on them; they work out and compete scantily clad becuse they like it.

I am speaking of the many bodybuilders I have known for the past ten years, R438. Unless there is something underneath the surface they don't want to talk about, and they do talk about their intimate lives after you've gained their trust because you see them practically every day, I don't see the sexy element you describe. They want to be strong. They want to have the biggest auxiliary muscle tucked deep inside you most people has ever heard of. They don't like shaving their crotches. This is ten years of deep friendship talking. There are many I know who could make a ton of money modeling or stripping, but they don't. They know I'm gay, yet none have given me an exhibition they think I want. I would be an obvious target for muscle worship. They don't offer it, to me or to the females at the gym. They have lives and significant others like all the rest of us do. They are professional people. Bodybuilding audiences are composed of friends and family, just like a play or a music recital. What professional person would display a sexual motivation in front of friends and family? You'll find the men you describe at a JimmyZ's muscle show or a street fair in San Francisco, not at a gym or a sanctioned bodybuilding contest. You can lose your "card" from a bodybuilding association for overt sexual display or behavior at a competition. After all of the work, it isn't worth losing recognition because you enjoy flaunting yourself in inappropriate ways.

Most men don't want to shave their crotch, that's logical, but that doesn't mean that bodybuilders don't like to show off their bodies. They build bodies for exhibition, they live for it R439

Bodybuilders like to exhibit their bodies, there's no denying that. But they want you to see how big their muscles are, how much bigger they are to the other guys in the posedown, not how much sexier they are. R439 is right. Bodybuilding audiences are full of family and friends. You CAN lose your pro card if you are overtly seeking sexual attention. No contest sponsor or bodybuilding federation wants to be a part of that.

So many ugly suits posing suits. Although I am aware that the contests are about physiques, I would be tempted to score points off for the ugly suits alone.

Hotties

Nice

Is Miss Universe not based on an ideal of female beauty that heterosexual men find desirable? Please, someone tell me how Miss Universe is not sexual.

The ending is a killer!

Silver

Bodybuilders are so holy. How dare gays see sex in their holy scantily clad bodies paraded on a stage.

....

Most gay dudes are wise enough not to step to muscle guys presuming they want to be overtly sexualized.

How do bodybuilders find love?

How heterosexual bodybuilders find love.

Joey Miller

That’s not Sandow at R328.

Probably not scandalous but still provoctive posing suit.

Denis Sergovskiy has always looked good and worn skimpy ensembles. r456.

And always flaunted his stuff in gay-oriented videos for gay men although I wonder if he feels ashamed of it. R457

Those buns bro

Middle aged bodybuilders seem to have the same sex drive and exhibitionism of bodybuilders in their 20's and 30's.

Nice brah

Damn that guy is hot, R458!

Pink

Tony

Holy smokes!

Save the content before Tumblr deletes everything.

Dancing cock.

R466, I’m looking at the hot asses of the background dudes

Why are the dicks so small? And, no, it's not because of the relative size of their bodies.

They have small dicks.

I don’t care

Ondrej Sestak

The question is, how slutty are the biggest bodybuilding contests such as Mister Olympia?

With so many people gathered to flaunt their bodies from around the world and people yearning to behold those bodies there must be a bit of a sex circle where bodybuilders release their passions like sme kind of sex tour.

Not really

More!

Green.

Those balls in black.

Something funny.

Read the comments after a user called Adri. Some homophobes triggered by an innocent comment while the whole discussion is from men well invested in discussing and fantasising about this tall Dutch's cock.

Big

Cakes

Proud.

Mighty low...

Look

FitCon

Hit video, R482, thanks.

That black dude is boss

If someone has given the situation some thought, why do you think so many bodybuilders being adult men wear such skimpy posing suits, why do they like drawing attention to their crotch area, does it turn them on, it make them feel virile or something? Are they trying to beguile the gay/bi judges for extra points?

No

Eddie Ung

The judges aren't looking at the posing suits, R488. These men work out four hours a day, six days a week, to make their bodies the best on stage. Why would they do that if all they wanted was the judges to look at their crotches? They can't masturbate four hours a day so their penis gets bigger. They are concentrating on their muscles, as do the judges.

Do you know how long it takes to learn how to spread your lats correctly? How much intricate lifting you do to make your obliques look like marble? The judges do. They reward hard work.

You may be the only one in the room looking at crotches. I'd be careful if I were you. Other people may notice. You will be out of your element. If these men, on stage and off, are allegedly using steroids, their anger may allegedly confront you.

Offer your services as a "schmoe" to these bodybuilders. You can take pictures of them in a private setting, and the most financially needy will go full-frontal for you, on the condition you will not share the photos. They'll know you're not a "real" photographer. They'll know you just want to stimulate yourself. They'll mock you for it later.

Some will even let you suck their dicks for two hundred dollars a pop. To them, they are earning money to pay the rent, nothing more.

Get to know the bodybuilding culture. It is far from the sexually charged atmosphere you suspect it is. It's all business, all of it.

No one said judges were looking at the posing suit as part of their judging criteria although some actually do. However, some bodybuilders do wear skimpy posing suits because they know showing a bit more can influence he judging in their favour or at least try. If you think bodybuilders don't do it then you are naive at the very least or in denial. These men are not wearing revealing posing suits innocently or by coincidence; they try them on before getting on stage; they perfectly know what they are doing. Why do you think there is a rule that regulates posing suits?

Sorry to break it to you but bodybuilding is not the holy puritanic activity you are trying to portray here. If you are uncomfortable with this then you should leave this thread which is all about bodybuilding flaunting their stuff.

Some incredibly hot specimens in r492's clip.

Which bodybuilding shows have you competed in, R492? Where do you work out to prepare for a competition?

Please, could you tell us why bodybuilding is not a sexually-charged activity? Why do men pursue attractive muscular bodies, why this body type exactly? Why men can better achieve this body type during their most demanding reproductive years? Also, do you know what secondary sex traits means and what their role is? R494

Perhaps we have been wrong our entire lives about muscles and bodybuilding...

Oh no, the Secondary Sex Traits Troll is back,

Got to the 1:49 mark in R492's video. VERY revealing wardrobe malfunction!

Are those YOutube videos filmed secretly, or is someone openly filming with their phone? Why would these guys let someone film them and then publish the video with no money involved.

That's hard to tell because the person who films seems to have experience holding a camera and the quality of his videos seem pretty professional.

There are a few websites that sell videos of recorded bodybuilding shows and they don't pay any bdybuilder; that would ruin the business. The retribution comes from exposure. Bodybuilders need to be visible for eventual sponsors.

Most bodybuilding shows allow you to photograph or film one person in the show, someone you are there to support. If you are taking pictures or filming multiple competitors in a show, it is assumed you are doing this for financial gain. The show sponsors and organizers usually announce they have purchased the photography and video rights to the show. They may grant you permission if you ask them ahead of time to allow you to photograph/film multiple people. If you are caught, they may elect to sue you for infringement.

I know one man who would film the competitors at many shows in the area. He suddenly stopped doing it. Maybe a bodybuilder threatened him. Maybe the organizers caught him in the act. I don't know what happened.

Hmm, why do bodybilding and bodybuilders receive particular attention from men making bodybuilding kind of popular but weightlifting doesn't receive the same amount of attention from men? What do male bodybuilders have that weightlifters don't?

Can't to see Steve Kuclo's boners this year :P

^^^ OOPS! 1:20 mark

You judge.

SCANDALOUS!

WOW! He causes stirrings in my loins.

WHY ARE THEIR DICKS AND BALLS SO SMALL? LET'S FACE THE FACTS!!!!!

Cute suit

Sexy

Tiny dick

I don’t care r118

Breon Ansley

Atienza's cock.

WHEW! This suit breaks mighty low....

Damn those asses bro !

Austria Open

Do you think Kai Greene's bulge is real?

Whatever the case, he is certainly trying to entice people. And read all the hetero fans who are fixated on his bulge :P

Not attractive to me

Bigger and better

Once guys get to a certain vascular state it just looks sort of gross.

@AlvaroCastro_Fitness

Wow!!

Yes R528, Kai Greene is very real.

There's an infamous video of Kai Greene fucking a grapefruit out there. I don't know who it is meant to entice.

Men, women, gay, straight, many people in the bodybuilding community know about Kai's endowment. It isn't a sexual urge; people are mostly curious to see the novelty, just as they were with Long Dong Silver.

Kai is certainly hung, but it's also clear that he wears a cockring under his posing briefs, which pushes up his package to the front. I wonder how many other bodybuilders use the same trick.

Kai hurt his career with pornographic activities

[quote]Men, women, gay, straight, many people in the bodybuilding community know about Kai's endowment.

It's the first time that I'm hearing about it. I'm aware of the grape fruit but I've never had any interest in seeing it or him because I've never found him attractive. But, be careful of illusions. He could be "big" but that may seem that way because he is short. The internet lists him at 5' 8" but he looks shorter than that to me .Then you have camera angles and photo shop.

I’m a fan

I know Kai Greene has a big one, but in the pic his bulge seems photoshopped to make it look bigger than it really is. Look at the size of his testicles, too big.

[quote]I know Kai Greene has a big one

Is this from personal knowledge and in person inspection?

Personal reflection

Jaroslav Horvath

R542 - NSFW

Kai's nude pics and vids are all over the internet R542

He’s just not hot

I agree, R547. There's just something that is not attractive about him. And, R545... Have no shame or feel a need to caution. We've seen his naked pics before.

Thanks for that video R544. Horvath is HAF.

Good grief 😲

Photoshopped.

R549, his tiny cup isn’t holding his tiny cock!

The only video available with Frank DeFeo competing in bodybuilding. He was kind of hard.

^ I'm really surprised that there wasn't much more coverage about his death. He was only 34 and left behind a young daughter.

It is obvious, he was full time gay tease. His muscle peers felt ashamed of that.

So sad

I've just arrived at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, OH for the weekend. Bodybuilders and fitness dudes everywhere. This is the place to be if you're into muscle. I brought two hundred dollars with me. Maybe I'll offer it to someone in exchange for, well, a little muscle worship. The money may not last into the weekend, some gorgeous guys around already.

How dare you sexualise bodybuilders. Such a pristine gathering of nearly naked men. How offensive R559

Upload pics and post here r559

Frank was a stud

Johan always has glorious erections on stage.

^^ That again? It's not an erection. It's tiny meat hoisted in his scandalous posing suit...

It’s not an erection dude. Stop the delusion

Yeah, it's not an erection, right...

Yes, the Arnold Classic is a must see if you want to look at men with muscle. They come from everywhere. Most of the good looking guys aren't even competing. They're at the week-long trade show and other athletic competitions. Several years ago, I slipped a piece of paper (with my phone number and a dollar sign on it) into the hand of a former house guest on Big Brother. He nodded, he got the message. He didn't call.

Oh, well. I found someone else to play with.

Embarrassing ⬆️

Any suggestive posing?

Oh, help me somebody....

More like that ⬆️

He sells the videos.

Ready to slap

Don't they feel embarrassed their families and friends can see them with a boner?

Oh, hell yeah!

I suppose it still meets the requirement of coverage?

Perhaps R578 but that is gross.

Yeah too weird

Skimpy isn't always a good thing!

SCANDALOUS!

Just SCANDALOUS!

Pretty in pink.

This reminds me when I used to chat with Middle Eastern bodybuilders and they would tell they felt sexy and strong on stage and that people see them like sperheroes and stuff. For some bodybuilders it is a turn-on to feel desired as they flex their muscles on stage even if spectators are all men.

It's interesting that while homophobia is criminal in those places bodybuilding is a world apart where mere admiration and homoerotic appeal are literally indistinguishable and pretty much welcome for their power to boost and complement the ego. Well, this happens in the west too but it is more interesting when you observe it in places where homosexuality is persecuted criminally.

Well, R585... little is spoken about all of what happens underground. Everyone wants to be desired sexually regardless of where or who those desires come from. I'm sure that many of these people enjoy the weight training and the bodybuilding but that doesn't dismiss the sexual desires and attention that they want. I had a Personal Trainer who said it best; "Why do you train and workout? Answer? To get laid more."

Booty flex

Simply scandalous!

Miha Zupan

And, where are those fingers going

It's not sexy when the testicles are extremely shrunk.
