Bodybuilding started in Ancient Greece, where mature men over 50 would go to the gymnasiums and masturbate while watching 17 year-old youths, called ephebes at that time, wrestling naked. That's where the fetichisation of the male physique started. Wealthy, powerful Greek aristocrats would even give vases and other expensive gifts to the most good-looking boys, and make them their "bitch." There are vases from Greek art that show good-looking youth half-naked flexing their muscles to the lusting eyes of an older man. Bobybuilding is gay. Gay. Gay. Gay.

The classicist has spoken.

It's to observe the human form in near perfection., it's only gay if you pay for premium seating

Well, the gay factor is strong on your agenda, so I'm not surprised by that.
When it comes to lifting weights, what have you contributed to this board so far?

maybe it would be prefered if women were to watch, but thats not gonna happen so you have to be glad that at least SOMEONE wants to watch

there's a lot of men out there in the world that loe to pose near naked but the sad fact is nobody would watch $:-\$

Hulk-smash! · « **Reply #20 on:** June 14, 2015, 07:57:03 AM »

Despite what hollywood hypes women much prefer how you look IN your clothes than OUT of them. And I'm not talking about spandex micro shorts or fishnet tanktops either. If the contest just consisted of the standard poses I wouldn't mind so much. But the individual routine is just ridiculous IMO. In this sense the men's physique contests make sense but its still really homosexual appearing IMO.

Embarassing how underdeveloped their abdomen was. They lack the hardness and sweep in the stomach region that todays pro's have in abundance.
