More Naked Ruggers ... Sigh

Keywords: Austrian, Rugby, Strip, Lithuania (Source)

What happens when the Austrian national rugby team loses a match against the Lithuanian team? Why they strip and sing, of course!

Note to self: watch more rugby. Too bad the video isn't in high-def. (The leader of the pack is pretty cute - from what I can see of him.)

Hot Brazilian Spramp: Luciano Lupo

You know how sometimes things (big things) suddenly catch your eyes unexpectedly. Tighty-whiteys seem do that for me. Add to the mix a really hot Brazilian guy, and well, you've got my bunny ears hard (among other things). Is it just me, or is Luciano Lupo effin' HOT? He's such yummy eye-candy, don't you think? I love me a good, well-fitted tighty-whitey ... sweet dreams.

Hot Spramps: Classic Eye Candy

Vintage 1950 Beefcake (Source: diswine via YouTube)
Sometimes I get these weird cravings for some classic eye candy. Maybe it's the historian in me. God, YouTube is so fantastic, especially for these sudden urges. I love the post-World War II beefcake phenomenon! I love that this shizz is still around today! I love the fact that many of these beefcakes were supposedly "straight." Just makes you realize how fluid and performative gender and sexuality is (well, and how compelling money is). You can't look away, can you? Fantastic!

La La La Eye-Candy Du Jour

Rugby Spramps Advertisement (Source: Towleroad)
It's been awhile here since we've gotten some really good eye-candy. I have an on-going fascination with the homoeroticism of rugby (I mean, who doesn't, really?), which I've posted about in "Spramps in the Most (Un)expected Places." Leave it to the fantastic Towleroad blog to keep my salivary glands, well, salivating. What we have then is a fantastic new ad campaign by the French tourism site C'est so Paris to attract, apparently, Londoners to Paris for the Rugby World Cup. I'm sure the ad will attract more than just Londoners, don't you think? I mean, I'd book a flight directly to Paris for this event, and I'm hardly a Rugby-type. I'd definitely go if I got to see more of this type of body contact!

Enjoy enjoy the eye-candy, folks! Nummy!

The Double-Take Edition

Statue at Stadio dei Marmi (Source: Google Image Search)

I’ve been thinking about those queerly straight rugby players that I wrote about a few days ago, which got me to do a little Web-searchin' to see if I could find anything more on those buggers, I mean ruggers. And remarkably, or not, we’ve seem to hit a blogger’s impasse; with that I mean, these Sandbach ruggers have fallen into a hole (no pun).

I searched and found a blog entry called “Why Gay Rugby” Is Redundant,” from the blog Hot Jock of the Day (HJOTD). While the post had nothing new to say about the ruggers, I was more intrigued by the blog, itself. Could this hold a treasure-trove of eye-candy, I wondered? Indeed, if your fancy are “hot jocks,” you’re in for a treat. The site owner is considerate enough to label things “SFW” (Safe for Work – for all those looky-loos at work), “SSFW” (Sort-of-Safe for Work), and our fave “NSFW” (no explanation needed). Most of the jocks, at least the ones I gazed at on the site, are clothed but there’s still a lot of hotness there. But isn’t half the fun undressing them in your mind? (I’m just sayin’).

• Hot Jock of the Day (http://hotjocks.wordpress.com)
• The site did provide a link to the YouTube vid of the Sandbach debauchery (NSFW). For those of you sticklers (no pun) for size (no pun), the vid on YouTube is a tad larger than what you see on the Ethan Says blog.
  

Web surfing is like free-associating. Blogrolls are free-associators’ best friends. Inquiring minds always want to know more (or in my case, see more), so I paid Wet Boxers Guy, the blog on HJOTD's site that is, a visit. Be forewarned or rather be very tempted, HJOTD has kindly labeled it a NSFW site, and kids, it is exactly that. While most images are not of guys wearing wet boxers, but rather a large number of guys in their undies. Although I imagine that at some point something’s gonna to get wet. It’s actually not really that smutty, and for good reason—I mean, again, part of the fun is that thing in photographs that pricks you, the punctum in Roland Barthes’ lingo (blame the pun on him!), which in these photographs is that which is hidden underneath the tighty-whiteys. I'd hold off looking at the site until I was at home. Asides from that: the pop up ads are pretty annoying and might actually kill the mood.

So still free-associating and thinking that perhaps my eye-candy compulsion is over, I remembered something I read in the outTravler that my friend Dr. Paul gave to me. All these images of hunky mens reminded of fantastic sculptures at Stadio de Marmi in northern Rome at the Foro Italico sports complex. The sculptures are absolutely stunning and amazingly homoerotic!?! According to the short blurb about the statues (which I’ve attached below), many (gay and straight) travel guides overlook this sight. I’m making a mental note to myself to go the next time I’m in Italy, that’s for sure!

“In northern Rome, surrounding a discreet soccer field, 60 erotic--both naked and adorned--white marble Olympic athletes tower above, preening themselves or staring seductively at each other across the stadium. The incredible Stadio dei Marmi, in the large Foro Italico sports complex, was a centerpiece of Mussolini's fascist Italy in the 1930s. Perhaps that is why the Stadio, with its statues, field, and running track, is absent from most travel books, gay or straight, and is known and used mostly by locals. The formidable 12-foot size of the Stadio dei Marmi statues is surreal, made more interesting by time: Over the last 75 years, bronze fig leaves have been added to cover some of the chiseled penises, creating an embarrassed modesty; but luckily, many of the athletes still stand proud in all their naked glory.”—Christopher Lucas, via e-mail

Oy...I think I'm wiped out from all this eye-candy! At least it broke-up the monotony of my day. Still lots to do and it seems like very little time. Hey, it's the mid-week hump! My fave day. Nighty, nighty!
