Title: Did the 'gay lobbyists' hijack Pro Bodybuilding in the early 80's?
Post by: New Hank Wood on April 06, 2008, 03:32:27 PM
Did the 'gay lobbyists' hijack Pro Bodybuilding in the early 80's? 

I am not sure.  However, the 'gay pride movement' is a very wealthy and powerful lobby group.

It is easy to understand that the 'gay collective' would have a vested interest in a sport such as Pro Bodybuilding.

Anecdotally, it is easy is to draw a connection between Pro Bodybuilding and the Gay-pride-lobbyists.

Is 'gay money' really controlling Pro Bodybuilding  in this modern era?

God knows, but i wouldn't be surprised!

Pros are just remote controlled sex-robots -> the instrument of control being the "juice"... both nut and synthetic

Pro Bodybuilding has its roots deeply implanted within the gay community!

The evolution of Pro Bodybuilding over the last two decades clearly demonstrates this.

The very influential gay lobbyists acknowledge the power and marketing potential of bodybuilding.  Pros of today are  indirectly used  to promote the gay-ideal !

 One only has to look at the introduction of the thong, posing styles, music and magazine-layouts to realise that Pro Bodybuilding is filling the very lucrative 'gay niche'.

The gay lobbyists are on winner here.

in general people have a kind of autopilot method when they associate one thing with another.....


perhaps u have this in ur little brain because u want bodybuilding to be related to gay sex.....and u just cant see past it...

thats the only conclusion i can come to......



u have a strange little mind........   ;)

The gay community, as an entity, has a right to exist.  This is a free society and they should be afforded all the freedoms that heterosexuals enjoy.

My point is, the gays should 'stay out' of Pro Bodybuilding. Leave it alone!  They have their fingers in enough pie holes!

The gay lobbyists have hijacked this sport.  Nothing on the planet is 'gayer' than Pro Bodybuilding...I want this to turn around.

The communities perception that Pro Bodybuilding is a collective of gays, fags, dykes and queers is worrysome.  We must work together to change this image!

I'm just saying Wank Wood is the kind of turd who is routinely seen being escorted out of bodybuilding shows while screaming at the promoter, "But you told me I could oil up all those beefy hunks if I swallowed. I hate you, you LIAR" and then comes home and logs on as Hank wood to make the same shitty posts over and over :-\
would one of those "beefy hunks," as hank describes them, be our very own Lee Priest?

That would explain a whole lost about his posts. I wonder why he's a fan of derek?  :-X

Yes, the communities perception of Pro Bodybuilding is damaging the sport.

'Perception'.

It is all about 'perception'.

When  an oiled-up man prances around in a thong to a Michael Jackson song, the perception is 'GaY'.

When an audience of screaming males begs Ronnie Coleman to pull his thong deep into his ass crack, the perception is 'GaY'.

Life is about 'perception'.  

Bodybuilding has major 'perception issues'.

It is written; If it looks gay, if it acts gay and if it has a gay following, then the probability is IT IS GAY!

To be honest I'd say you post more about homosexuality than Hank, or anyone else on getbig.

Virtually everything you post is calling someone gay, or saying bodybuilding is gay, then you, amazingly, start talking about the bodybuilders you like and posting their pictures and websites.

If anyone seems to be battling conflicting feelings, it's you my friend.

Fans and followers of Pro Bodybuilding will feel threatened when a 'link' is drawn to the gay lobby.  That is understandable.  It is a very confronting and uncomfortable subject.

No 'straight' person who enjoys watching oiled-up-men feels comfortable being called-out as a lover of this latent-homosexual-theatre~!

However, facts are facts.  Pro Bodybuilding is deeply embedded within the gay community and those who support it are in fact, supporters of this gay-man-lust-deborchery!

Enjoy your muscle-men all you Getbiggers.  Just stop feeling threatened when called-out!

1. It looks like I've hurt your feelings. As Squadfather would say, "relax, tiger, it's only the internet." :)

2. I never said anything along the lines of "bodybuilding is gay."

3. Are you kidding? I certainly don't post more than Wank Wood about the gay thing! Who made this thread? QED!

It's an observation. I can assure you that my feelings are immune from being hurt over the internet. I also fail to see why you would wish to steal Squad's material..do you find it hard to be original even on the web?

Most of the posts I've seen you make are in some way connected with homosexuality. Admittedly I haven't read all your posts - that would not be a wise use of my fairly limited online time - but a great number are about gays in some way or another. I would not like to speculate why this is but it would be fair to say that homosexuality must occupy your thoughts to a significant degree.

I sincerely hope I haven't hurt your feelings as I was only trying to point out that you yourself have made points similar to Hank in the past and thus the same theorising you are doing on his supposed latent homosexuality is just as applicable to yourself.

Have a better one.

Bodybuilding should be about a celebration of health and fitness.  

It must again become a spectacle of masculinity and heterosexuality.

The gay community has seriously disturbed this balance.  The sport is languishing in a quagmire of gay4pay, corrupt judging and illicit drug taking.

The gay community is responsible for many of the ills in Pro Bodybuilding today.

Look, i am not into the 'gay bashing' thing.  They have a right to participate in this society. I just don't think they belong in Pro Bodybuilding, that's all!

Peace.

it is these AIDS ridden homos who give bodybuilding a bad name. they are disgusting and do not treat the sport seriously as it is meant to be. they take something noble and pure and twist it round into something sexual for the gratification of their revolting base desires.

the great bodybuilders are not homos. arnold, nasser and ronnie are not diseased bottom dwellers.
these sick people want to beleive that all others are like them and share their twisted and perverted outlook.

it is time to rid the sport of this vermin and make is respectable again and about the noble ideals that started it. gays should stick with there own kind and go to their disease ridden strip clubs if they want to drool over men.

its disgusting

i take it this is an attempt by a homosexual to claim that anyone critical of him is also a vile homsexual in denial?

a great defence, it is not becuase we are disgusted by disease spreading and deeply unnatural activity of people who die young of diseases from their revolting behaviour and are more likely to be drug addicts, pedophiles and commit suicide, no, we secretly desire the shit orifice of another man.

At what point did Pro Bodybuilding decline into a  gay smut fest?

What will it take for the sport to return to the Golden Era?  A time when men were men!

I am bemused as to why so many passionate followers of the sport aren't up in arms over its degeneration into gayness.

Positive change is needed.  The sport is an embarrassment of latent homosexuality.

Fans, open your eyes!

It is important to ask questions and seek answers! Albeit, we may not always like what we hear!

The gay movement maybe a very potent political force, but as fans of the sport we should be not intimidated by them!

The gay lobbyists have inflicted much damage onto this sport.  

Thanks to their 'unwanted' intervention, the industry has declined into a circus of gayness.

Again, i not calling for the lynching of this group. I just want them to take their grubby hands out of this sport.

Hank are you trying to tell me that a handfull of lispy, weak,effeminant homos in pink spandex shorts took control over thousands of macho muscular men? Maybe you and your friends are just not as manly as you think? How can you so easliy lose control over yourselves?

If you cant control yourselves then you only have yourselves to blame...Maybe its time you and your friends start acting like men and stop blaming other groups for your problems.

Hank should flip through some Strength and Health mags from the 1950s and 1960s.   Bodybuilding was already considered gay then.   Back then bodybuilding contests were always held in conjunction with weightlifting contests, but the weightlifters really wanted nothing to do with it.    One of the criticisms of the "Weider Methods" of bodybuilding was that it was too focused on the cosmetic building of muscle, doing exercises just to get big rather than to get strong.  That was considered very vain and very gay.

Yes, Bodybuilding did splinter from Powerlifting.

The Powerlifters saw themselves as strong, brutal men.  They considered the Bodybuilders as inferior pansies and referred to them as 'fairies' ( now known today as 'gay').

Look, there is a place for both sports. That is not the issue.  My concerns lie with the wealthy gay community who have some how 'come in' and claimed the sport as their own! 

Bodybuilding must emerge from this dark shadow of homosexual irregularity.

The sickening and evil disease known as 'aids' claimed many a good man.  The homosexual community was in disarray.  The image of a 'wasting away, scab ridden fag' was damaging the image of the gay-pride-movement.

The gay lobbyists needed to resurrect their image.  So they turned to Pro Bodybuilding. It provided a vision of health and strength; something the aids epidemic was threatening to destroy.

To this day, the gay lobbyists are still active in the Pro Bodybuilding scene.  No longer do the public think of a homosexual as an emaciated aids patient but rather a strong-robust- thong-wearing-oiled-up-prancer.

No.   First there was "weightlifting" which means the 3 Olympic lifts.  Then there were bodybuilding competitions.   Then there were "odd lifts", which in the late 1960s and early 1970s was refined into powerlifting.

hmmm, your timeline correlates with the NPC breaking away from the AAU.    Is that how "the gays" took over bodybuilding?

In reality, there is no evidence that there are any more gays in bodybuilding in the 1980s than in the 70s, 60s, or 50s.

OK, it is a circular debate.  However, one thing cannot be denied, and that is bodybuilding has become increasingly 'gayed-up' over the past 20 years.  In my opinion, this has damaged the sport.

Again, this is not an attack on the fans. 

Many feel personally insulted by my claims that Pro Bodybuilding has become an annexe of the gay-pride-movement.

No, no, no. For Christ sake, i am not suggesting that the fan base of Pro Bodybuilding is gay just because they follow a sport that has its roots in the homosexual community.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

That would be like saying just because you like anal sex with a women you are latent homosexual living in denial of your man-lust...

no, they just feel you're full of crap.

Most gays have never attended a bodybuilding contest.  Most couldn't name a single pro or top amateur.  Most, as in 99.999%.    And of the gays who are into bodybuilding, very few are also gay activists.   The first rule of being a gay activist is being out to everyone.  Most of the gays in bodybuilding (especially those in power or those who compete) are not out.  In fact, I find them to be rather closeted.

Serious question:


How in the fuck do you agree (if you're Cutler) with a shot like the one below? Was it taken for a bbing mag? If so, most of the readers are men, so I fail to see the appeal in taking such a shot for a man's muscle mag (unless of course the readers are gay).

Was it taken for a "playgirl" like mag, that supposedly appeals to women? That I could understand......

One only has to look at the introduction of the thong, posing styles, music and magazine-layouts to realise that Pro Bodybuilding is filling the very lucrative 'gay niche'.

thong... to show more development
posing styles... yes, theyve differentiated from the early days, but not that much. still the same basic shit.
music... theres rock, to soul, to rap, to techno. i dont see how its 'geared towards the gay community.'
magazine-layouts... somewhat agree, depends which layouts.

no question that alot of gay men enjoy bbing. y wouldnt they? its like a hetero man watching a swimsuit competition. but i dont think its SPEFICIALLY geared to attract gay men.

Did the 'gay lobbyists' hijack Pro Bodybuilding in the early 80's? 

I am not sure.  However, the 'gay pride movement' is a very wealthy and powerful lobby group.

It is easy to understand that the 'gay collective' would have a vested interest in a sport such as Pro Bodybuilding.

Anecdotally, it is easy is to draw a connection between Pro Bodybuilding and the Gay-pride-lobbyists.

Is 'gay money' really controlling Pro Bodybuilding  in this modern era?

God knows, but i wouldn't be surprised!

Ask yourself why bodybuilders are hiking their trunks.

Why, all of a sudden, "glutes" became an ever important part bodybuilding.

Why trunks were exchanged for thongs.

Why gay escorts aren't penalized for violating IFBB rule of conduct, but those who calls officials cheaters are (Milos Sarcev).

The sickening and evil disease known as 'aids' claimed many a good man.  The homosexual community was in disarray.  The image of a 'wasting away, scab ridden fag' was damaging the image of the gay-pride-movement.

The gay lobbyists needed to resurrect their image.  So they turned to Pro Bodybuilding. It provided a vision of health and strength; something the aids epidemic was threatening to destroy.

To this day, the gay lobbyists are still active in the Pro Bodybuilding scene.  No longer do the public think of a homosexual as an emaciated aids patient but rather a strong-robust- thong-wearing-oiled-up-prancer.

Yes, it is frightening how the sport is pandering to the gay-collective.

Whoa, easy on. Let me be very clear;

Gays have a right to exist. 

Gays should be afforded the same rights as heterosexuals.

My argument is not whether the gay collective is good or evil.

I am more interested in seeing that Bodybuilding's integrity and wholesomeness is protected and preserved for future generations. 

It is clearly obvious that this is not happening. 

The gay faction has it's dirty little paws all over this sport. I am sickened by this. 

The gay power base is singlehandedly destroying what was once a noble pursuit of men!

That’s a great question.  Do you own a pair of daisy dukes?  I don’t; when my jeans get old I throw them away.  I would never make a pair of daisy dukes out of them no matter how good my legs looked.  Given what we know about FLEX magazine, I’m willing to bet they have a stash of supplies for bodybuilders when it’s time for photo shoots: posing oil, sunglasses, hair moose, water in an atomizer (to simulate sweat) and a stash of daisy dukes in various sizes.

Nothing says “I’m a fvck hole for your pleasure” like daisy dukes.  ::)

Why do you think Jay, Nasser, Eddie, Bruce, and all the rest are willing to pose in daisy dukes?  Why do you think all those guys on muscle gallery (Gustavo, J. Jackson, Silvio, Idrise, Paco, etc.) are willing to pose there?  They all know what keeps this sport going . . . at this point, you should too.

Cary Grant's long term boyfriend was Randolph Scott. He also had a fling with James Dean.
It is believed that Wayne's real name of Marion and his parents raising him as a girl led to his confused sexuality. Rock Hudson was his closest friend and the song "John Wayne is Big Leggy" is a comment on his super macho facade having queer underpinnings.

Stop greeting ya big jessie. I'm only trying to illustrate that there have been sissies for years, they are just more open about it nowadays. Personally I don't care if you enjoy dropping anchor in Poo Bay. Jimmy Saville approached me after the 66 Universe and I said I wasn't interested. He moved on to Arnold and the rest is history. As a professional accountant I never needed the money being offered by the rich bodybuilding supporters and I have many queer friends.

Print out the pic, show it to 10 people at random, and ask them what they think the “purpose” is.  You’ll have your answer.  If you need more proof tell them the pic was made primarily for a male audience and see what they say.

Well, I realize that. But I'd like to hear other people's opinion of it. Especially those who cannot admit to themselves that this thing/industry/pageant is geared towards a certain crowd. Basically, I want to hear from those who are in denial, about comp. bbing. To me, it's pretty obvious what's going on, hell, like you said, if we took some sort of poll, most people would figure it out, right away. Yet many here, cannot admit to themselves what's really going on.

Well, I realize that. But I'd like to hear other people's opinion of it. Especially those who cannot admit to themselves that this thing/industry/pageant is geared towards a certain crowd. Basically, I want to hear from those who are in denial, about comp. bbing. To me, it's pretty obvious what's going on, hell, like you said, if we took some sort of poll, most people would figure it out, right away. Yet many here, cannot admit to themselves what's really going on.

I do welcome everyone's opinion though.....

maybe im in denial, as i do feel that there are valid reasons for the things that bbers do onstage, as ive mentioned in this thread on a previous page.

can u tell me what parts of a bbing comp u think specifically target gays?

By definition you cannot hear from them what any rational person would articulate.  They are in denial.  It is a real and powerful phenomenon and pointing out to someone that they are in denial is not enough to yoke them out of it. 

Just look at the absurd examples of Ted Haggard and Larry Craig.  They were so deep in denial that they got married to women—and had sex with men on the side.  Now, even after having been exposed to the whole world, they still believe they are straight.  They really do.

If you’ve only seen it in TV and movies—and never dealt with it face to face—it may be hard to appreciate how real and powerful denial can be.  :-\

Where to start?  :-\

Go to a show, (overwhelming) majority of the audience is male.

The men flex for the crowd of men.

They pump up, for the crowd of men.

They oil up, for a crowd of men.

They wear the tiniest trunks available.

They hike up these tiny trunks, to show off their asses.

You have men going ape shit, when the above happens.

For some reason, the bigger the man, the bigger the cheer.

You ALWAYS have men there who DO NOT EVEN WORK OUT! (wtf do you think they are there for?)

You have guys humping the stage floor, as part of their routines.

You have men doing the splits.

There's pictures of men in tiny daisy dukes, as they lift heavy weights (clearly to satisfy someone's fetish).

Schmoes run the industry (Blekman, Weeda's).

Don't get me wrong, I love bbing (training, lifestyle, discipline). But the comp. side of it, the pageantry (might as well call it what it is) is what it is.

do either of you know about the origins of the shot above? I.E, was it a Flex/Ironman/MD mag shoot, Muscle Gallery, Colt, whatever...... ???

I think it is early 90s (with Jay being in his early 20s), and from one of the main bodybuilding mags.

This one is from 1996, shortly before Jay won his pro card.

Go to a show, (overwhelming) majority of the audience is male.     it's a male sport. males bodybuild, women 'sculpt' and 'tone'. besides, we know their physiques only attract a small amount of sexual lust from women, so they really have little reason to watch.

The men flex for the crowd of men.    see above point, and add that it's a competition. they flex for the crowd AND judges.

They pump up, for the crowd of men.    see above point

They oil up, for a crowd of men.     " "

They wear the tiniest trunks available.   show off more muscle to gain every advantage possible, though this really isnt necessary in most cases.

They hike up these tiny trunks, to show off their asses.  see above

You have men going ape shit, when the above happens.   see first point...

For some reason, the bigger the man, the bigger the cheer.    im repeating myself here

You ALWAYS have men there who DO NOT EVEN WORK OUT! (wtf do you think they are there for?)   although bbing is mainly a sport for those who workout, aslong as u are attracted by huge muscles, u will watch. that doesnt make u a schmoe either.

You have guys humping the stage floor, as part of their routines.   never seen that done

You have men doing the splits.   so? it was a staple part of flex's award winning routine, and ronnie looked insane when he did the splits.

There's pictures of men in tiny daisy dukes, as they lift heavy weights (clearly to satisfy someone's fetish).   refer to my point a few pages back ;)

Schmoes run the industry (Blekman, Weeda's).    never said the gay/closet gay community werent a big part of the fans/industry

I notice the "Sexy Hawaii Muscle" on the top left, there. Anyone know if it was women in the pictorial or men........ :-\


Again, unless you're targeting gay men, why would you have a young Jay Cutler, wearing nothing but a towel on the cover?

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a hot chick with muscle tone, and big tits on the cover to get the attention of (straight) men, since supposedly your readership is mainly men?



EDIT: now that I look at it, is it even a full towel? Certainly more like a hand towel...... :-\

I was never big into magazines, but a few years ago while at a gay friend's house I flipped through an issue of "Exercise (for Men Only)" on his coffee table.  That magazine in particular is very gay.  It has scantly clad buff models in photo layouts that have nothing to do with training.  Just gratuitous JO photo spreads of the models looking provocatively into the camera.  Surprise! Surprise! Some of the models are porno stars.

The ads in the back of the magazine are even more direct.  
musclegallery.com
muscleweb.com
vistavideo.com
powermen.com and all the rest advertise in the back of that magazine.


They're not even pretending anymore.....just straight "gayness for sale".  :-\

The golden era was never golden; you just didn't know what was going on.   :-[

Remember, the father of modern bodybuilding, Eugene Sandow 1867-1925 (long considered to have the perfect proportions of classical Greek and Roman sculpture), dumped his wife and toured the country posing and flexing with his piano playing boyfriend (Martinus Sieveking) in tow.  The two eventually set up house together in NYC.  Sandow also engaged in what we would today call 'private posing'.  Fork over the cash and you can watch him flex for you in private.  Fork over more cash and you are allowed to touch his muscles.  Fork over even more cash and... well, you get the idea...

If you want to lament something, lament the loss of your innocence/ignorance.  It had to happen sooner or later.  It's called growing up. ::)

Honestly 95% of bodybuilding magazines have been thinly veiled homoerotic stroke books since the hobby began.

Bob Hoffman's and Peary Rader's magazines were probably the straightest of the bunch, but even then some of  shoots were rather gay, like the "Sword and Sandals" stuff.

We're all fans of a gay sub-culture, we should just get use to it:).

Alright we can split hairs, but they were representive of majority of publications dealing with physical culture during that time. Offhand, I can think of only 3-4 that actually tried to promote strength, health, and fitness without  playing up the gay angle.

Heck, many of the blue ones were published/handled by Weider.

And it's still common practice today.

they're different genres with different audiences.  No one who bought Strength and Health or Ironman would have considered Adonis or Physique Pictorial to be a weightlifting,  fitness or physical culture magazine.   Those mags were seen as gay porn.

It's like saying Flex and Colt Magazine are the same.   Or that getbig.com and musclehunks.com are the same.


and btw, I mis-typed above.  I said Larry Scott was blacklisted for appearing on Your Physique, when I meant to say Physique Pictorial.    I corrected it in my posting, but it's still incorrect in your quote.

Tim, would you say musclegallery.com is the equivalent today of those blue magazines?

It's hard to imagine anyone being banned or blacklisted today because this 'blue' activity is so common.  If you ban one person you end up having to ban so many others there would almost be no one left.

It would appear that Paco B. knows his audience as well.  The larger point is that these are just the ones in the public sphere.  Like cockroaches, a lot more of this stuff happens where you can't see it.  For everyone one you see, there are quite a bit we won't ever see... but that doesn't mean it's not happening.

But again, none of this is anything new.  It's been happening since the golden era and, in fact, predates it.

I dont see how you can claim the moustache as being only for gay men, and cut off flannels...as I said in a previous post, those styles are not ours to claim, they have been around for many many years before gays were out and about, we may parody them but we cannot claim we invented them...Your gay centric point of view is just as bad as being homophobic.

The golden era was never golden; you just didn't know what was going on.   :-[

...Sandow also engaged in what we would today call 'private posing'.  Fork over the cash and you can watch him flex for you in private.  Fork over more cash and you are allowed to touch his muscles.  Fork over even more cash and... well, you get the idea...

that's called making money and keeping fans. theres nothing wrong or sick with private posing. if u think there is, then half the people here are sick human beings, as they go to strip clubs and engage in the exact same thing.

most gays, let alone most people, have never paid a bodybuilder to be allowed to jack off while the bodybuilder flexes.  that's what private posing means.

Why does the homosexual-community find Pro Bodybuilding so appealing?

Is Pro Bodybuilding in better financial shape because of the support it enjoys from this gay-collective?

Is Pro Bodybuilding suffering because of its close ties with  gay-culture?  Furthermore, are 'the mainstream' sickened by the 'blatent and overt gayness' that is so much a part of  Pro Bodybuilding today?

Getbiggers, so many questions. Many more need to be asked!

yet, im sure most guys have paid for a similar pleasure by a woman at least once in their life. though that may be extreme to some people, i dont see what's wrong with it. maybe u guys should broaden ur minds a little.

And some of the article names "When bulging biceps aren't enough" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA But seriously I found that cover and posted it here a few weeks ago because I thought it was humorous not literally gay. I looked at covers all over from that era and that was the only one that stuck out as possibly being gay oriented but I doubt it was meant for gay men especially since 90% of 80's culture is considered gay now ;D And on the Jay Cutler MuscleMag issue it shows it has an article about making breast bigger and a whole swimsuit photo session so I don't think it was meant to be gay but to attract female readers.

Bodybuildings very core has gay roots. Ever hear the Master Blaster talk? Nough said
I was always aware of it and never had a problem with it. If you are secure in your own sexuality then you shouldn't give a frack who looks at, applauds or drools over your body. As long as nobody gets over enthusiastic and puts a hand on you, live and let live  :)

Therein lies the rub; a lot of men who patronize bodybuilding are insecure.  Rememeber this thread? http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=132861.0

As I see it, bodybuilding attracts several types of men.

•  the secure heterosexual man; he can readily admit how gay bodybuilding is and embrace it anyway.  There are relatively few of these men but they are a welcome addition to the sport.  Example: gordiano.

•  the insecure heterosexual man; these guys are often not too bright and insist there is nothing gay about bodybuilding even as their heroes oil up, wear thongs, pose to music for an audience of cheering men, show off their shredded bums on stage, make lusty videos, and private pose behind closed doors. “I don’t see what’s gay about that!” despite all the evidence to the contrary.  Like that Jay Cutler daisy duke pic and this:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=209016.msg2889800#msg2889800
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=132861.msg1879056#msg1879056
Again, these men have, shall we say, limited powers of perception.  Example:  I won’t name names, but they are all around you.

• the secure bi man; he likes hot women, but he likes hot men too and knows that bodybuilding is full of hot men.  Why not enjoy the best of both worlds?  These guys have no intention of giving up women (many are happily married), but see no reason to limit their options aesthetically or physically.  Example:  there are quite a few in the sport and on this board, but I shan’t name them publicly; some have already identified themselves in various threads.

• the insecure bi-curious man; in perpetual fear of discovery he, too, is inclined to insist there is nothing gay about bodybuilding but that won’t stop him from patronizing the sport: attending shows, buying videos, magazines, musclegallery.com, private posing sessions, etc.  Admitting the sport is gay means admitting that he is more than ‘curious’ and he doesn’t want to do that because that means looking in the mirror.  Example: Ted Haggard.

• the gay man; yep, he likes musclecock and musclebutts and he’s not ashamed to admit it.  This is not to say that gays aren’t insecure; there are many things gay men are insecure about but liking men is not one of them.  :D

You take things to the extreme sometimes, I mean have you ever admitted to being wrong in your life because it seems you always have a explanation or reason for something and nothing anyone says holds any backing in your opinion. It's like everything BBing is on a 24/7 gay agenda in your view but for some reason I highly doubt that's the case. I am not saying it's not on their agenda at all as I am sure there are plenty of gays who follow or participate in BBing at some level (competitors, behind the scenes, promoting) but I just don't agree with the extreme views you suggest.

well quite a few businesses are making money from the homo-erotic consumers and these companies are launching new videos regularly.  production costs are low considering you:  have a contract,  rent a hotel room, hire a model, pay a camera person, edit/splice package and market.

oh brother i stopped reading after this ::)

gordiano is in serious denial about his sexuality, he bashes bodybuilding to make himself feel straight

he can't make a single post without using the word "gay" yet his favorite singer is george michael, an openly gay man that makes extremely gay music :-X

ever notice how bay is the only one that has seen guys jerking off at a show?

many guys here have been to shows, why haven't they seen this?  you know they would've mentioned it if they saw it

he's just another gay guy that tries to rationalize any way he can to make him feel secure about being a gay man

maybe just maybe bodybuilding fans are more secure with their sexuality than the average man

personally, i think there's no sure-fire way of determining whether the actual sport of bbing is a homosexual sport and/or aimed mostly at gay men, as there are valid reasons for saying it is and it isnt.

as a fan of the pure sport of bbing, i can see how some might think it looks like a male strip show, but i just dont agree with that notion.

hahaha,I do, and feel very ignored, but at least some of you are reading my posts. cause you cant change people that dont want to have an open honest discourse...Bay has SEX on the Brain, and that is fine for his private life, but it skews his perspective of the rest of the world...He believes he is so self improtant that everyone everwhere has some interest in gays, or wants to have gay sex....This kind of belief is just as dangerous as hate filled homophopbia and creates just as much polarity and division in society and always leads to violence.

Bay does not have the numbers to back up his claims. Even if 10 percent of magazine subscribers were gay, that would hardly make it a gay magazine. SInce there are 3-5 percent of us in the general populaiont, 10 -20 percent is a generours number to give, but even giving that number it is not cause to declare bodybyilding gay.

Bay if you have any other statistics please bring them forward. Also, please be honest, I dont know who you hang around with but do your friends subscribe to MD, FLex and whack off to it???....Because I bodybuild with my gay friends and not one of us subscribes to those magazines. I dont know too many gay men that find shaved, primadonna, insecure, vain, metrosexuals, drug dependendent men, very masculine. I prefer a good 70's Colt Catalouge any day.

The fact is that bodybuilding today is the furthest away from gay culture that it has been since the early 1980's. Since the 90's gays have divorced their obsession and love of the sport.  You will not find any post 1990 imagery of bodbuilders in gay clubs or magazines. YOu will find mostly stuff from the more wholesome times, 80,s 70.s 60.s..Most gay men are clueless as to what is going on today in bodybuildng, they dont care like many other people who think the bodyies are no longer aesthetic.

It is important to point out that the imagaery in bb magazines is anything but gay. The magazine style departments must be living in the dark ages, pumping out garish obnoxious over the top extreme imagery assaulting the senses. In fact they could learn a little style if they would actually hire a gay graphic artists.

So if the artists arent gay then how do you explain the provocative pictorials and daisy dukes and flannel shirts in pictorials? ...Easy those icons of fashion represent times in americas history when men were considerered macho, they were farmers, and lumberjacks, and cowboys and motocycle gangs. Those days are long gone but the fasion icons still remain today as representations of strength of the real macho male, the real blue collar manly man....Anyone has free license to use these iconic images as they see fit.   ...Gays do not own those representations and it is arrogant to believe they do, It is very homocentric of Bay to believe everytime he sees a man photographed in a cut off flannel that the intention is to get him horny....It is self absorbed and very perverse if you ask me....Art should never be bound by the warped trappings of one group of people.  Art is for all to interpret on their own.

Its time for Bay to look at bodybuilding outside his homocentric point of view and acknowldge the vast number of straigt men involved in the sport and that the macho imagery and costuming has nothing to do with homosexual sex, they are just paradigms of macho cultures used for effect and enhancement juxtposed on current day muscle men. They are not gay nor straight.  Just enjoy the art. Let go of your trappings.

hahaha,I do, and feel very ignored, but at least some of you are reading my posts. cause you cant change people that dont want to have an open honest discourse...Bay has SEX on the Brain, and that is fine for his private life, but it skews his perspective of the rest of the world...He believes he is so self improtant that everyone everwhere has some interest in gays, or wants to have gay sex....This kind of belief is just as dangerous as hate filled homophopbia and creates just as much polarity and division in society and always leads to violence.

Bay does not have the numbers to back up his claims. Even if 10 percent of magazine subscribers were gay, that would hardly make it a gay magazine. SInce there are 3-5 percent of us in the general populaiont, 10 -20 percent is a generours number to give, but even giving that number it is not cause to declare bodybyilding gay.

Bay if you have any other statistics please bring them forward. Also, please be honest, I dont know who you hang around with but do your friends subscribe to MD, FLex and whack off to it???....Because I bodybuild with my gay friends and not one of us subscribes to those magazines. I dont know too many gay men that find shaved, primadonna, insecure, vain, metrosexuals, drug dependendent men, very masculine. I prefer a good 70's Colt Catalouge any day.

The fact is that bodybuilding today is the furthest away from gay culture that it has been since the early 1980's. Since the 90's gays have divorced their obsession and love of the sport.  You will not find any post 1990 imagery of bodbuilders in gay clubs or magazines. YOu will find mostly stuff from the more wholesome times, 80,s 70.s 60.s..Most gay men are clueless as to what is going on today in bodybuildng, they dont care like many other people who think the bodyies are no longer aesthetic.

It is important to point out that the imagaery in bb magazines is anything but gay. The magazine style departments must be living in the dark ages, pumping out garish obnoxious over the top extreme imagery assaulting the senses. In fact they could learn a little style if they would actually hire a gay graphic artists.

So if the artists arent gay then how do you explain the provocative pictorials and daisy dukes and flannel shirts in pictorials? ...Easy those icons of fashion represent times in americas history when men were considerered macho, they were farmers, and lumberjacks, and cowboys and motocycle gangs. Those days are long gone but the fasion icons still remain today as representations of strength of the real macho male, the real blue collar manly man....Anyone has free license to use these iconic images as they see fit.   ...Gays do not own those representations and it is arrogant to believe they do, It is very homocentric of Bay to believe everytime he sees a man photographed in a cut off flannel that the intention is to get him horny....It is self absorbed and very perverse if you ask me....Art should never be bound by the warped trappings of one group of people.  Art is for all to interpret on their own.

Its time for Bay to look at bodybuilding outside his homocentric point of view and acknowldge the vast number of straigt men involved in the sport and that the macho imagery and costuming has nothing to do with homosexual sex, they are just paradigms of macho cultures used for effect and enhancement juxtposed on current day muscle men. They are not gay nor straight.  Just enjoy the art. Let go of your trappings.

i totally agree

what do you have to say now, bay?

if you have no response, just admit to being owned :)

hahhaa, well if you like male photography there is no better photographer than Jim French, aka, RIp Colt....Just ask Rusty Jeffers, I think a bodybuillder deserves a good photographer after all the work they put into their bodies, and most bb photographers are hacks. I think anyone can appreciate Jim French's photos without being gay, They are really works of art.

Many on here feel 'threatened' when a link is drawn between Pro Bodybuilding and the 'gay paradigm'.

It goes without saying, that fans of the sport enjoy watching near-naked-oiled-up-men strutting their stuff on stage. 

Yes, these are the same fans who cheer at the sight of a striated butt and go all gooey when their favorite-roided-freak does a double back bi.

The real question that is begging to be asked is; ''Tell me what is NOT gay about the Pro Bodybuilding ideal?''

Pro Bodybuilding now enjoys the unfortunate stereotype as being recognised as a ' homo-erotic beauty pageant'.

Stereotypes can be cruel and nasty..

The mainstream's perception that Pro Bodybuilding is a 'gay man's fantasy epic' is pitiful; but unfortunately real!

I don't think it is now humanly possible to shift this 'damaging stereotype' of the sport!

Maybe it is time to accept that Pro Bodybuilding is a euphemism for 'gayness'.

OK BAY, i disagree again,,,Jarslov may or may not be gay I dont know,,,,but by your logic, there is absolutely no way a straight man can wear an article of clothing that makes him feel sexy without you implying he is gay, or flirting with gays....What can a straight man wear that makes him feel hot that you wont' call him gay?, Or is a straight man not supposed to ever feel sexual through something he wears? (look at ALex 23, he likes to play dress up in skimpy clothes and take pictures of himself but he's not gay (i dont think))

It seems like what you are saying is that straight men are supposed to be stoic and morose all the time..... But aren't you doing to them what they have always done to us?

That question has been batted around before.  I'd guess less than 20%.  Much less!  On the whole, women are not as willing as men to pay for pornography or erotica.  I think not knowing (or pretending not to know) is what makes posing for these sites acceptable to some 'straight' guys.  If you keep telling yourself that you're doing it "for the ladies" then it's ok.  ;)

Just found this thread and, uh no, Earl, you're wrong. Bay is correct except his argument is lacking. What he should have used was one based on aesthetic criteria. Just as Art Deco or French Impressionism can be defined by artistic characteristics which define said aesthetic, so can (some - I don't share his view that it is all) BBing. The Chickster frequently uses the 'you see what you want to see' argument, particularly when defending his own pics, and I have to laugh. It is a spurious one. The one pic that gets me chucking the most is the 'army' one where he's got a huge length of chain over his shoulder. Not gay? Hmm. Well, it has all the criteria of homoeroticism, but whatever you say Chick.  ;)

You know. I wouldn't have any idea. Honest. How about this: I've made more than my fair share of fashion faux pas over the years but I've never once thought it a good idea to wear nothing but a pair of Daisy Dukes and a cut-off lumberjack shirt. And I know wearing it in the gym would be a baaaaad idea. Nor would I think it a positive fashion statement to put on just fatigue pants, a helmet and drape a big-ass length of chain over myself while looking insolently around*. Certainly would give off a vibe I'm not interested in. See my point now?

*too derivative of herb ritts, as well.

Times have changed. A big example is Repetrope/USA Muscle. In the late 80's though the mid-90s, it was another company - VIDEO ACTION - that used to tape the NPC contests, pre-judging & pump room videos. You had to buy these videos if you wanted to look at bodybuilders other than just the magazines. VIDEO ACTION or TERRY PHOTO [ out of San Francisco ! ] invented the " pump room " tapes of filming bodybuilders backstage pumping up, oling & posing. Whatever company it is, they all pay the NPC big fees at having access to shoot the contests.

Look at Repetrope today. What was once only seen by bodybuilding fans, whatever their sexual orientation, is now a staple at every big national NPC contest. You can view bodybuilders in all types of posing on the internet. It's now as established part of viewing bodybuilders, and it used to be even more of a cultish, fetish interest even 12 years ago before the internet exploded, and opened the gates to bodybuilders being seen more as homoerotic.

And other gay owned companies, like Musclehunks, Musclegallery, Muscleworship and Jimmyzproductions are all getting some NPC bodybuilders , and even IFBB pros [ Kai Greene dances at Jimmyz strip shows in L.A. ] to pose. So, it's total gayness all over the internet for extroverted bodybuilders to show themselves off , whatever their motives are. And look, a lot of these guys who pose for the websites, or dance for a gay audience, or do jerk off videos, are getting major coverage and covers of the muscle magazines. Case in point: Chris Jalali is one of the favorite bodybuilders getting major covers of muscle mags & features, and he did j/o videos for Musclehunks. Gay editors, photographers & owners of these companies that are making money off of bodybuilding are featuring these bodybuilders.

Oh, & don't forget, the NPC gets a big cut from the fees that Repetrope/USA Muscle, Contest Muscle & Terry Photo [ all gay owned & controlled companies that make lots of money ] have to pay them. It's all part & parcel of the business. And the internet has blurred the lines & broken down taboos & barriers of what was once too gay, too fetish, too much on the fringe of homoerotic.

Much of what you say here is compelling.  The internet has certainly made all kinds of information and photos easily available and clued people in to what they previously did not know.  But that underscores a point I, and others here, have been making for some time:  there is nothing new to the homoerotic veil on bodybuilding; it most certainly didn’t start in the 1980s.

Private ‘sponsorship’ helped build the industry in the days when Arnold was competing… and even Eugene Sandow engaged in what we would today call private posing. Then, as now, people know what they want to know and don’t know what they don’t want to know.  But the simplicity of clicking your mouse and seeing the evidence in photos or videos makes it harder to deny what you have ‘known’ all along.  :-\

Post by: watchagot on May 15, 2008, 04:30:46 PM
Glad you agree. The internet certainly has opened up the proliferation of websites devoted to photos, images & videos of bodybuilders. Videos that once were considered to be like a subculture of bodybuilding, such as pump room videos, are now commonly accepted by the NPC, IFBB & the bodybuilders themselves. Terry Photo will have his camera on a guy's ass or close-up of a bulge in posing trunks, and it's no longer a big deal.  Repetrope has expanded like never before with photos & videos of every bodybuilder who competes on their " USA Muscle " website. Who do you think pays & looks at this stuff? Nobody blinks an eye anymore to it. All these gay owned websites are making thousands, if not a million or two or more. As long as they pay the federation their big fees, nearly anything is acceptable today. Throw them all some money, and no one will bat an eye.

What a difference from just 10 years ago, when Rusty Jeffers got a lot of flack just for nude photos for Colt. He wasn't the first, there were plenty of others before. Now you have guys like Mark Erpelding and Chris Jalali all over gay websites smiling, grinning & j/o'ing, and they get covers & articles in the muscle mags. It's the world wide web. Nobody is forcing them to. They get rewarded in one way or many ways for being out there on the web.

Bodybuilding has exploded on the internet, & male bodybuilders as homoerotica, eye candy or sex objects is in full gear. And it's bound to get bigger yet. Musclehunks has a ton of money to throw someone for posing, and there have been big names in bodybuilding who have done stuff, which obviously, isn't a secret when they're doing it for the internet.

Glad you agree. The internet certainly has opened up the proliferation of websites devoted to photos, images & videos of bodybuilders. Videos that once were considered to be like a subculture of bodybuilding, such as pump room videos, are now commonly accepted by the NPC, IFBB & the bodybuilders themselves. Terry Photo will have his camera on a guy's ass or close-up of a bulge in posing trunks, and it's no longer a big deal.  Repetrope has expanded like never before with photos & videos of every bodybuilder who competes on their " USA Muscle " website. Who do you think pays & looks at this stuff? Nobody blinks an eye anymore to it. All these gay owned websites are making thousands, if not a million or two or more. As long as they pay the federation their big fees, nearly anything is acceptable today. Throw them all some money, and no one will bat an eye.

What a difference from just 10 years ago, when Rusty Jeffers got a lot of flack just for nude photos for Colt. He wasn't the first, there were plenty of others before. Now you have guys like Mark Erpelding and Chris Jalali all over gay websites smiling, grinning & j/o'ing, and they get covers & articles in the muscle mags. It's the world wide web. Nobody is forcing them to. They get rewarded in one way or many ways for being out there on the web.

Bodybuilding has exploded on the internet, & male bodybuilders as homoerotica, eye candy or sex objects is in full gear. And it's bound to get bigger yet. Musclehunks has a ton of money to throw someone for posing, and there have been big names in bodybuilding who have done stuff, which obviously, isn't a secret when they're doing it for the internet. Your point of the stuff beyond the internet is true & very real as well.

LOL I have been saying this all along.  You may recall a posting I made in a thread long ago about why BB is gay.  I got so many private messages from that posting.  Some hate mail from guys in denial and lots of "amen! thanks for saying that" from guys who preferred to remain anonymous.  Individually all the evidence I posted didn't mean much but when you added it all up there was only one conclusion.

Hmm. I think more telling is the amount of views the gay threads get, as opposed to replies. Seem to be a lot of 'lurkers' here at Getbig.  ;)

Lurking may or may not be as indicative.  Lots of people click their way to sites and subjects they are not really interested in.  But in this case I think you're right.

Even more telling is when someone is willing to part with his money: buying photographs, buying magazines, buying ‘lifestyle’ videos, posing videos, going to shows, traveling hundreds of miles to attend shows… --especially when they don't even train--that is not just idle curiosity.  And you know they are not doing all that to get training tips.


You ALWAYS have men there who DO NOT EVEN WORK OUT! (wtf do you think they are there for?)

It's wide open now for bodybuilders to pose for whatever gay-owned website that is primarily viewed & marketed to a gay audeience. It didn't use to be so open & pervasive. Just viewing bodybuilders on the internet will direct you to a gay website with NPC competitors posing , doing videos, and webcams! And they know what they're doing. It's just a click away for anyone to see. Now THAT has changed things tremendously. Used to be it was only Colt who featured some competitive bodybuilders, and you had to buy a magazine , a video or photos by subscription. Now it's practically an ACCEPTED or at least TOLERATED extension of getting your name out there & getting publicity . And that's just what you're seeing on the internet. As Bay has said, think of what is going on behind the scenes! There are a LOT of sites featuring NPC guys posing in very sexually erotic settings. If you like bodybuilders, there is a ton to see on the net. And I don't own a subscription to any of these sites either. But it's there for anyone who wants it, and it's going to get even more explicit in time.

Just looking at it, internet -wise, bodybuilders doing sexy modeling for the camera is all over the web, and this is the big difference between now & the pre-interner era when it was only in the bodybuilding magazines to look at, or at it's most " gay " - Colt studios which had some bodybuilders posing nude. It's now " out " there , as mainstream as YOUTUBE, which has tons & tons of video clips posted by just anybody who can do it. This includes the GAY OWNED video companies such as Muscle Gallery, and Muscle Worship who post it to " stimulate " sales for themselves. Think about it, this stuff NEVER would have been seen even 5 years ago, & certainly not posted on a very big mainstream website like YOUTUBE. Just by typing in " muscle " or " bodybuilder ", a straight man couldn't avoid it ! Talk about blurring the lines between BODYBUILDING and the PRESENTATION OF A MALE BODYBUILDER AS SEXY. The internet has broken down barriers for good. This stuff was unheard of before, except for a cult audience. And when you have someone like Kai Greene who did the infamous grapefruit video a few years back, and STILL does stripping for a male audience at a gay club and it's on the internet to see and buy as a DVD, and he still wins a pro IFBB show without any sanctions, I'd say it's close to a revolution in gays taking bodybuilders to a different level than what it used to be.

Bodybuilders are definitely being exposed & even exploited , and they are CHOOSING to do it with the freedom of the internet. Who would ever agree to a webcam exposing yourself on the net worldwide unless you were looking for the money & more to be had from it? It's advertising that you are " AVAILABLE ". Hustling is way more pervasive and out there now for those bodybuilders who choose to do it . Bodybuilders seen as erotic has blown wide open with the internet. It's like a revolution of what was not once accepted is now tolerated , or in the example of " PUMP ROOM " & " BACKSTAGE POSING " videos of bodybuilders taken at the NPC & IFBB shows, now a standard practice . Those were once just a fringe thing for muscle fans who had to buy videotapes. Now REPETROPE is the institution for filming bodybuilding contests , and they've expanded with even more off-shoots like USA MUSCLE , where you have to pay to view " thousands " of photos & video clips of bodybuilders. And that's gay owned & operated too.

So, I'd say the opportunists & entrepreneurs who are gay , HAVE definitely changed how the presentation of male bodybuilders is more accepted and in abundance on the internet, not just a smaller subculture of contests & the big name muscle mags. who were the main media at presenting it up through the 90's. And don't forget, these video companies are making a TON of money.

watchagot: 
Can you verify that Repetrope/USAmuscle.com is gay owned and operated?  Who owns that company and when did it get started? Were they ever competition with Video Action or are they the official successor to that company?  Given that  modern bodybuilding was launched and supported by Sandow, Joe Gold, and Weider it only makes sense that Repetrope would be gay owned as well.  I’ve just never heard anyone talk about it before.

Some of their material is certainly erotically charged: camera angles, visual foci, audio tracts, etc.  I wonder sometimes if some of these bodybuilders—especially the young ones—realize whom they are posing for.

I’m not one to purchase videos/DVDs, but if I were I would certainly use Repetrope.  Their production values are first rate and for the casual visitor they offer a pretty good archive of recent contests.

It is gay owned & gay staffed. They are not the same company at all as Video Action who were the first to do pump room & backstage posing videos in the 80's & 90's. Going along with the list of other gay owned companies who feature competitive NPC bodybuilders & even Pro IFBB bodybuilders: Musclehunks, Musclegallery, Contestmuscle, Muscleworship, Musclegods, Jimmyzproductions, and probably others. You may be surprised or shocked at who you'll see in varying states of undressing, posing & showing it off to the gay male crowd on these sites. Ho ho ho, joke's on you if you think some bodybuilders are just up on stage to compete and be featured in only the standard muscle magazines or be on a respectable bodybuilding website. Too funny that some of these bodybuilders don't care what they're showing off for the world to see. LOL.

Did the 'gay lobbyists' hijack Pro Bodybuilding in the early 80's? 

I am not sure.  However, the 'gay pride movement' is a very wealthy and powerful lobby group.

It is easy to understand that the 'gay collective' would have a vested interest in a sport such as Pro Bodybuilding.

Anecdotally, it is easy is to draw a connection between Pro Bodybuilding and the Gay-pride-lobbyists.

Is 'gay money' really controlling Pro Bodybuilding  in this modern era?

God knows, but i wouldn't be surprised!
No that have earier. On November 29, 1919,  to be exact. ;D
