It's a gay man's inalienable right. His inherited prerogative. His birthright. What I'm referring to is the privilege that we all have to determine exactly what is sexually appealing or "sexy" to us as individuals. True, we have the celebrities that the media and pop culture market as "hot" or whatever. But each one of us has our own special "ideal" or "type" that always manages to catch our eye and other select parts of our anatomy.
There's as many different opinions as to what's hot or not as there are gay men on this planet. That's cool, because if you pause to think about it, if we all fantasized and pursued the same dream, who's left to want the leftovers? And we all know that almost all of us fall into the leftover category. Very few of us qualify for the "dream/fantasy" label.
What is sexually desirable to one man isn't necessarily the same for another. We're all as diverse physically as we are in our erotic and fantasy dreams. So, it's our right, our individual option, for full self-determination as to who we find and decide is sexy. Madison Avenue (advertising/marketing) may think that it's their choice. However, at the end of the day, we ultimately choose who we want to share our respective beds.
My dream or fantasy man is one who preserves his natural body hair. A shaved, smooth body on a man just isn't something that I find attractive or desirable. If a man has a naturally hairless torso, that's cool. But let it be natural and not a cosmetic look. Sparse armpit, chest and pubic hair is fine, as long as it's not altered in any way. I like a man who looks like a grown man, not a young boy. After all, I'm a man who has sex with men, not boys!
I'm not particular about age, body size, ethnicity or race. My sole stipulation as to my dream man is that he just be the man that he really is. Truth be known, ass or cock size isn't a major concern. Please just let what hair you are endowed with grow where it's supposed to be! Hey, that's me being honest about what I like or prefer. I don't need an advertising exec telling me what I should want.
I realize that there are gay men, probably a large number of gay men, who disagree with me on this. That's my purpose in posting this on Guys Without Boxers. We all have the freedom to follow our fantasies and enjoy the man of our individual dreams, no matter what the stereotypical "hot hunk" of the day happens to be. Like the folk proverb advises us, "To thine own self be true."
Naked hugs.
