Gays posting nudes on social media

[Constantine]

I don't necessarily have a problem with it, in fact my twitter is all about following such accounts. I'm just curious why young gay men are so eager to post nudes on twitter. This is true to an extent on instagram as well. Instagram lets you get away with posting pictures of your ass and many young gay men eagerly do so. Again, I'm not complaining, I'm just curious where this proclivity comes from. Young straight women aren't nearly as hypersexualized as young gay men.

Gays?

“I have a very desirable body. Wouldn’t you like to touch it? Don’t you wish you were me ?”

 

(Except for OnlyFans and the paid content stuff... there it’s simply marketing. I have seen an explosion of paid content stuff on the tiny social media presence I have )

[liubit]

I wondered myself about why so many guys -admittedly gay, at least in my twitter crowd- post pics of their dick when requested (or not), with or without their face and body. I stopped trying to figure it out, I am now simply enjoying the view (there are some pretty dicks out there) and downloading the best. It helps in these lockdown times. ?

I get it if they're trying to drive their twitter followers to their onlyfans but a lot of twinks don't have onlyfans or (JFF or whatever) and just to seem enjoy showing off their bodies. On RM some escorts don't even post face pics but twitter gays are happy for you to see their face along with their hole. Obviously I'm happy they're doing so but I just don't get it. If Bill Gates wanted to give me a billion dollars obviously I'd take it but I'd also be curious why.

It isn't only gay men. Go to Reddit and you will see for yourself. Women have been shamed into covering up.

"Famous people are beloved. I'd like to be famous. Oh, look! Here's an easy way for me to be famous!"

This crosses over to another set of threads that are related, but the behaviors in general are still a complete head-scratcher to me. These younger guys are willing to put these photos out on social media, but they are the same guys who take extreme pains to cover themselves completely at the gym before and after cleaning up. I know a lot of folks have 'locker room fantasies' but I'm not speaking to that - I'm speaking to the fact that I'm mildly amused and mildly irritated that the younger guys in the locker room are doing the surfer towel dance to put on their underwear in a locker room! I'm not even trying to look; I'm feeling like an exhibitionist for my relative immodesty!

Perhaps these guys in the locker room realize the only control preventing their naked image from existing forever in the cloud is covering up.

This guy has a cashapp address plus an Amazon wish list so I’d classify his content as marketing. But there’s many like this that aren’t fronting paid content.

I actually don't see it that way because it's not as if he posts thirst traps and tells you to give him money for the nudes. You get all of this without having to pay anything. If this was marketing, he wouldn't have posted the video today of him fucking himself with a carrot, or at the very least he would have posted a teaser with a link to his onlyfans for the full video.

Have you seen the photos female IG influencers post? The only difference is that women don't want to look easy.

[Aaron James]

Every time I just want to post “your parents must be so proud” or “good thing you stayed in school” and then I take a deep breath, pull the stick out of my arse and move on

.... or at least cheap, in any sense. ?

Many, many guys on social media are not smart or savvy enough to maintain any sense of mystery.

A hunger for validation? These gays may believe that their value is measured by their sexual capital, and since they can't get that fix as much via hookups apps like Grindr, we all get to experience them trying to seek it via sharing their nudes.

 

What do you think will happen when they run out of content to share?

A lot of guys post scandalous shit AND have great careers

It's separate. For gay men, how long has youth and sexual attractiveness been fashionable?

[rvwnsd]

What happened to going to college and getting a good job? When did that fall out of fashion?

On Reddit I follow:

• A university professor
  
• An RN who has a Masters degree in nursing
  
• A PhD candidate (don't recall what he is studying)
  
• A biologist
  
• A veterinary technician
  
• Several guys who have jobs where they wear suits and ties
  

Among the escorts I've hired are:

• An attorney
  
• A safety and risk management expert
  
• A CNA
  
• A banker
  
• A CPA
  
• A pharmacist
  
• The GM of a restaurant
  

The real questions are "What happened to not judging a book by its cover?" and "When did that fall out of fashion?'

I don't appreciate the strawman. My post was in response to a comment about young gay men valuing themselves solely by their sexual capital but don't let that stop you.

I suppose it goes back to the old adage "IF YOU GOT IT, FLAUNT IT !".... I'm not sure I wouldn't do the same thing if I had a great body or a big cock ? I had often wondered why those guys on Chaturbate spend all day in their dirty rooms beating off to the camera... then I realized, I LIKE to watch them so I stopped judging....and grabbed my cock ! :p

Isn't that a big assumption to make? Just because someone shows his body online, that means he values himself solely by his sexual capital? Isn't it possible that someone could enjoy showing what he has but also value his intellect, his emotional self, his kindness towards others, etc?

showing their goods to get laid, craving popularity/admiration, etc. We don't know if we would have behaved the same way if we had internet, instagram, kik, etc. back then. It's a different world!
