Then you will enjoy this video of a wrasslin’ match.

Thank you, James St. James, the WOW Report blogger who suggests impatient viewers speed through the first couple minutes: “At 2:08 you say to yourself: WAIT… WHAT? By 2:34, you will be slack-jawed…”

Also, isn’t it weird how the phrase “singlet boner” is kinda hot, but the phrase “diaper boner” is suicide-inducing? Context IS everything!

  1. gus, I am coming to realize that your bookmarks list must be a thing of beauty…now if we could just adjust fashions enough that the singlets become thonglets…

  2. Canuck, we’ll have to disagree on the attractiveness of thong-for-men. This video brings back happy memories of managing the wrestling team when I was in seventh grade – “managing” duties being to watch the fellas shower so I’d be ready to hand them a towel. I am not kidding.

  3. gus, I am killing myself reading @16, god, you must’ve been the most attentive assistant evah! And I must agree, thongs are a difficult look for anyone, maybe naked wrestling would be better…or naked rugby…mmm.

  4. Gayest. Sport. Ever. They play a sport where the only thing preventing your hand from going up the ol’ panama canal is a thin sheet of lycra yet wrestlers insist they are the epitome of heterosexual athleticism.

    Thats OK though, they just need to own it!

    Now thats out of the way, Mr. Red-Singlet Wrestler, please sit on my face.

  5. @ 25 and on down, thank you for cluing me in to what a singlet is and sparing me the embarrassment of having to ask.

    all afternoon i was like, “singlet boner … singlet boner … what does that mean? gonna google that.” but then i never did.

  6. Oh Jesus Christ. I wrestled 167lbs in high school. This video dug up a long buried memory of a practice match with the 185lb guy on my team (who has since come out of the closet) that turned into a similar WTF moment.

    Sorry, Canuck, I don’t have pictures.

  7. @23: Definitely not for straight guys. Wrestling is intense one-on-one combat, no more likely to produce a surprise boner than a street fight.

    I’m sure the experience is different if you are gay. I probably couldn’t suppress a hardon if I was wrestling a hot lady.

  8. Whateves… boring… there’s nothing new in this video. It’s your standard high school wrestling shots. Why don’t you just say that you like the new beefcakes and leave it at that?

  9. @37: You’ve got it right. I find myself thinking about that guy more and more whenever I see people insist that “real girls” wear pink and smell pretty.

  10. Only thing I see is a pervy gay or pedophile cameraman. I can’t tell which, since either would likely be turned on by the video (sorry to make that connection, but it fits here). The kid’s dick shunted over at the end hardly qualifies as a boner.

    If you have engaged in competitive wrestling. judo, jiu-jitsu or MMA you would know that the last thing you are thinking about is the aesthetic nature of your opponent’s physique. You don’t have time for that and will get hurt if your mind is wandering.

    That said, if large amateur wrestlers are literally manhandling less skilled and/or younger boys during practice, then there can definitely be a homoerotic aspect to the sport.

  11. Can you people stop saying wrestling is gay If any of you who said that ever actually wrestled, you would know that is one of the most brutal and demanding sports. It requires a great deal of stanima and technique which is only acquired through intense long periods of training. And not to mention the dieting most wrestlers go through, all starvation and weight cutting. So please respect it if you have no real experience with wrestling.
