Sure as hell doesn’t feel gay to me. I’ve been doing MMA since I was a kid, and never have I had a sexual thought pop into my head while training, or competing. Only time MMA turns gay, is if the guy watching it, gets a boner from fantasizing about one or both of the dude’s fighting man slamming him lmao. In other words just because it may be gay in your mind…. Does not mean its gay for the people who actually do it lol.. Gay guys can be so damn silly lol.

As I’ve said, it’s okay to grapple, but no erections.

This is just another sad homoeroticizing of a sport people either don’t understand or are afraid of. As a former Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor, I heard this nonsense a lot. And that’s what it is, nonsense. I agree with the Sheridan’s conclusion, you can eroticize almost anything. But speaking from experience, if there’s one thing I find utterly offensive, it’s other gay men using my fight vids as “sports porn”. It’s repulsive, to be honest, that all some men can see is a couple of guys in board shorts instead of the chess match the sport really is. Grow up, guys, seriously.

Lusting after straight guys doesn’t sound pathetic or desperate at all….

I don’t agree with jayoriginal. None of those violent acts – used with deadly weapons, no less – are erotic at all, but muscular shirtless barefoot dudes wrestling together in multiple poses, some of which are seen regularly in gay porn? How can you not see the homoeroticism there?

Oh well; maybe it’s just me.

Ok Jocko
Anyone trying to make it may do things that they aren’t always wanting to do. Take Paul Donahue who i ran into at a wrestling tournament not to long ago. A good friend of mine asked me “hey do you know if he (Paul) is still working for that company on the side?” Well i told my friend he would be crazy if he didn’t cause this Olympic dream isn’t cheap!
The Idea of Armature MMA Fighters with good Bodies doing porn isn’t out of the idea. They need to eat and pay bills while they train to make it to the big time and most folks cant have Full time jobs. I have spent the last 2 years with a full time job while doing the Olympic level thing and its not easy.
So again Sex has nothing to do with the fact that sexuality in sports is all around. MMA, Wrestling, Judo, Grappling and other such sports are just the ones that people can identify with while not presenting a weakness

Trying to beat the living crap out of someone and calling it homoerotic is like saying running a bayonet through someone is homoerotic or that the shape of bullets, guns, and bombs are phallic and therefore violence is all homoerotic. I guess people raping Iraqis is also homoerotic at some level, but it’s not why I am into MMA. I like boxing as a sport as well.
