It's not gay, but superficially, it's extremely camp and homoerotic. It may not be 'gay' [not that there's anything wrong with that, of course], but the spectacle of two oily, muscular men engaging in choreographed hugging in their underwear, punctuated by overwrought acting mayseem pretty gay to the average observer.ReservoirAngel said:

Plus... I don't watch wrestling for guys grapping one another wearing very little. If I wanted that, I'd watch porn. It's free and it's much more sexy. It's just an annoying double standard that gay guys + sport with men not wearing much = he must be wanking to it, or something similar.
Unfortunately despite the immediate visuals, the wrestling fanbase is often very hyper-masculine morons who tend to be quite homophobic, be it casually or actively.
Straight men jerk it to women's tennis? Wow... that's an eye-opener right there. How... how can you? I don't mean it in just the "how can you find women hot?" thing cause I've long since given up trying to get an answer for that, but surely in women's tennis any eroticism there might be is immediately destroyed by their ludicrous grunting. Every time I hear that I crack up laughing, and it's virtually impossible to masturbate while giggling like a schoolboy.StBishop said:Surely Bobby Lashley is hot.ReservoirAngel said:It might be, if 99% of WWE superstars weren't either ugly or weird looking.

But I'd guess that the reason that plenty of straight guys make that assumption is because that's what some of us do when watching womens sport (Wrestling, Beach Volleyball, Tennis). Obviously it's a minority of people who don't do as you said, and simply watch pron, but I'd like to think only a minority assume that gay men only watch wrestling to have a toss.
I know the type, that's pretty much every wrestling fan I've met to date.
The people who ask are usually classmates, so they'd be reading it too, so I usually only get asked about the books I read by my own decision. (The books we get assigned to read are usually pretty decent, so that wouldn't be a problem either way.)StBishop said:
Ditto, especially the crazed die-hard ones. Yeesh. Especially hardcore waibus or otakus or whatever else you can call them, my word.MarlonBlazed said:

But that aside, I get your point. It's what "we find WWE Divas hot, so the fags must find the normal wrestlers hot" way of thinking that is all too common.
Plus please tell me you're joking about Lashley or I might have to hunt you down Terminator-style and fire way more shots than necessary into you with a laser-guided handgun.
See I couldn't do that. It just sounds too comical to ever be considered sexual in my mind. Sex noise should be sensual moans, not the over-the-top huffing they do. If that's the sounds woman make in the porn you watch then... that's not normal porn.StBishop said:
Really? *looks as Lashley* okay, it's your body. That's just the exact opposite of the body I'd want, and an almost caricature of the body I want on the guy(s) I have relationships with.
I don't actually watch porn, and when I have in the past I've preferred still, nude, images to actual people having sex.ReservoirAngel said:
It's more of a respect for what he's achieved. I don't think I'd actually go that far but I'd like to aim for that area. Growing up as a skinny weed will do that to ya.
That depends on what tennis match you watch for noise comparison.StBishop said:
Or you could just embrace your weediness, like me. I'm short and thin as anyone I've ever met but I'm cool with that. Besides, muscular bottoms are weird...
