In the beginning, we were naked. As civilization has progressed, men in particular seem to be regressing to our mostly undressed state, and not just by the pool or at the beach or in the bedroom.
Not that we are complaining. In fact, we are busy chronicling this quirk of evolutionary development. It seems guys in these modern days will find any excuse to strip down, and we’ve sorted them into just a few of the categories the show up in.
First there were the Santa Skivvies Runs. Then No Pants Transit Day. And how could we forget Cupid’s Undie Runs? Then there’s the perennial pride stripping. The White Party. Hustla Ball. The go-go box at our favorite clubs. Even at Dolores Park for the Hunky Jesus contest.
Why, you may ask, has this become some sort of sociological trend? Good question. Perhaps it’s the increasing cultural objectification of the male body. Or maybe it’s just the ubiquity of mobile phone cameras. At any rate, the dots seem to connect, and in a very gay way.
Check out the various locations guys are dressing down…
At Dolores Park
While brushing your teeth in a selfie
Walking the dog
Chasing after little children
Partaking in snow sports
At any sort of theme party
On President’s Day
On the way to the gym
When dressed up for a parade
While wearing balloon hats
At a Christmas party
On the way to the airport
Hanging out at a club
After a soccer injury
In the mirror
At hunky Jesus
On the couch
Getting ready for a show
On the runway
Watching TV
Shopping for funny hats and maybe some cool suspenders
Waiting for the subway
Going into space
When capturing post child stardom
While shopping for leather
On the work commute
While inflating Santa’s sleigh outdoor display
At White Party
And by the pool (duh)
On the way to school
Practicing for taking clothing off
