OKAY. An open question here
Friday, August 5th, 2005 10:17 amIn the aftermath of the Discovery of Cockzilla, I'd like to ask everybody a question:
Just what the hell is wrong with Speedos, anyway?
I'm serious. I really don't get the whole EWWWW reaction. We saw a damn fine-looking guy wearing a garment that shows off his assets. Assets that most of the folks I hang with on LJ at the very least have been wondering about for a while, if not writing intricate pervy fics about. We got a good look at Sean's entire physique here (well, except for his feet). Granted, he's not exactly svelte, but some of us like a man with enough flesh to hang onto, you know.
Yeah, there's the "guys who shouldn't wear them" idea. But what's that got to do with the garment itself? It's hardly more revealing than a fucking THONG, for gods' sakes, and we see those damn things on the beach constantly. (In fact, it's less revealing - at least it covers the guy's buttcrack, damnit!) Why is it ho-hum for a woman to hang all her bits out to dry but outrageous for a man to do the same?
And all this shrieking and turning green from women who amuse themselves by writing about men porking each other, creating pics out of gay porn, and squeeing endlessly about how hot and fuckable their guys are? I'd have thought you all would be hopping with joy to see one of your fantasy guys wearing something that revealing. What gives???
Really, explain this to me. And cite reasons, please, not just "They just squick me!" Because it makes no sense to me at all.
