Hello Bay. Reading through the LaLane thread I wanted to ask for someone to post those exact 2 pictures. Why are people so blind and ignore the real true picture? I think you will be hard pressed to find straight guys in this industry. I mean everything bb related revolves around gay erotica don't you think? Even on the boards I think there are so many that suppress their feelings. Truth is definitely hard to handle ... BTW this is not a rip on LaLane but an acknowledgement of what this industry really is.
Congratulations on connecting… the… dots… You are smarter than the average getbigger. Guys objecting to those photos might want to ask themselves why Jack (or any man) would
choose to take photos like that. Notice that they are not once-in-a-lifetime spontaneous or candid camera type photos. Jack obviously posed for them and enjoyed doing so. He was not coerced and he certainly did not do it for the money. So what is the story?
I cannot pretend to answer that question, but it should be clear by now that a lot of guys in the bodybuilding/fitness world are not as black and white about their sexuality as many posters here want to believe. Contrary to conventional wisdom, men do not pump up their bodies with huge muscles to gain the attention of women—they do it to gain the attention of men. Sometimes (but not always) this attention is explicitly sexualized but on the other end of the spectrum it can be an effort at validation or similar efforts at peacocking.
I can think of several bodybuilders (some pros) who cultivate the attention of men (even gay men) yet they are “straight” and some even married. Some of these guys physically engage with their male fans (sex, wrestle, etc). Some of their women are OK with this while others are not. Just look at the sampling of guys on musclegallery.com; at the very least those guys are willing to pose for photos sold to men—though some are conflicted enough to deny it.
As someone else has said, Jack had it all: good health, wealth, women, men, and the adoration of millions. I admire him!
