Sexuality expands from between the legs to the entire body. The man becomes that which above all stands for his manhood, his difference - the phallus. After Fussell's last competition, his lifting buddy runs up to him excited:

"Oh Sam, he gurgled. You looked like a fucking human penis" Veins were popping every which way".

The expansion of sexual objectification in male bodybuilding, in a way, undermines the objectification of women. It does so by positioning men - no longer only women - as subjects to the scrutiny of others. This unsettles the dominant relation of men as subjects and women as objects. I believe that as spectacular as it is, this is why male bodybuilding is not shown on television as a primer hour primetime sport. It makes men too more subject to the gaze of others. Unlike football or baseball, it puts patriarchy in trouble. "We have to accept that boybuilding bodybuilding is a subculture that will continue to expand, but it will never be fighting the for prime-time primetime with the World Series..."

Why are beauty pageants that choose the best looking male practically absent on TV despite the fact that their bodies are almost universally considered appealing/desirable?
It is because of the same reasons why bodybuilding isn't on TV either.

Not everything you perceived as bad redaction is bad redaction; only 2 or 3 things I typed wrong. Copy and paste doesn't work when you find these books on books.google.

It wasn't going to air live but a month after the actual event.

The only bodybuilding show that I've ever seen aired on the day it occur was the 1992 WBF Championship, which was on pay-per-view ($15).

I think the 1991 show was on closed-circuit TV.
