Quote:The British journalist who coined the term metrosexual, Mark Simpson, says a new version of the urban man has emerged, which he calls the spornosexual.
In an essay for the Daily Telegraph newspaper, Simpson writes, "The metrosexual is dead. Long live the spornosexual." Media outlets from New York to Munich have picked up the term, which is a cross between the words sport and porno.

Simpson’s theory is that the rise of selfies, social networks and pornography have led to a generation of young men obsessed with being desired for their bodies. Wardrobe and intellect matter far less to spornosexuals.

Several years ago Simpson originated the idea that alluring advertising campaigns featuring the Italian national soccer team or David Beckham had helped turn homoerotic imagery mainstream.

Looks like Jersey Shore is going global.

So basically the millennial liberal.

So wait, is he saying that all these kids that steroid and beef up are spornosexuals? Half of those guys can't throw a football or catch a baseball. What the hell do they have to do with sports? I still call them meat heads.

new name for same old same old. Guys been beefing up in the gym so they can get laid forever.

No not really. High schoolers and others around that age have been beefing up since around 2005 or so. People like Lou Ferrigno, Arnold Shwarzenegger, Sylvester Stalone, and Dolph Lungren were spectacles.

Robert Rusler was every girl's typical heart throb in the 80's and he was toned, not big at all, which was more than enough to get laid anytime he wanted to.



That trend carried on into the 90's.





Now most movie actors are beefed up, being slim and tone doesn't cut it as much. Look at the douche bags from Jersey Shore, The Real World, Big Brother, etc. Tweeners everywhere want to be like that, and most can't do it without shooting up some enhancements. In the past it was just jocks and body building professionals, now it's everyone.

At least where I live don't see nearly as many steroid users vs. the 80's into the 90's.

Me either, most of the kids look like gay AIDS patients these days. It is/was big up North though. I lived in Philly for 4 years and the juicehead population was overwhelming.

If you look at reality TV, you see lots of dumbo meat heads, that's what tweeners want to try to be like. You have your gothic emo kids, your rock & rollers, your gamers, your sports players, and then your douche bags.

It wasn't as prevalent back then. Look at wrestlers from the 80's and 90's, then compare them to today.

The Fabulous Freebirds



Dusty Rhodes


Chris Adams


Gino Hernandez






Think about it, that was considered in shape and big back then.

Now look.

As long as you're not intimidated. The best most of those dudes can do is pick you up and toss you a few feet.

Not intimidated at all. I don't start trouble, so I generally don't worry about it. If someone decides they want trouble with me...I'll have what I need to defend myself.
