!! OMG, best reader question ever: Gay perverts !!
Curious reader Susie submitted a letter to us over the weekend that ponders the psyche of those who post dirty comments on the blog, particularly in response to the nude celebrity photos:
This isn't a tip, OMGBlog Gods, so much as a question. I've had it for a long time but decided today that I just must find out what the answer is, and I couldn't think of anyone better to do it for me.
Your blog undoubtedly has a large gay base, so the flame dame quota (including myself) must be up there too, considering our boys usually like sharing fun stuff with us.
However, I am confused by something I see repeatedly on any posts involving attractive men, scantily clad, naked, or fully clothed...
Read the rest of Susie's question and our response after the jump along with a new !! omg poll !!
... there are comments such as:
* "What a nice big thick cock he's got. I want to suck it and then have it rammed up my ass."
* "What a hot sexy ass. I'd love to sniff, lick, and shag it."
* "What nice big thick muscular thighs he has. I'd love to sit on them and feel and touch them up."
My question (generally after a loud "EW!!!"): Why do these guys think we CARE what they want to do to the pretty boys? Do they think that by saying it that it will actually come true?
This isn't reserved to gay men. Straight dudes probably do it, too, but to be quite honest I really find them kind of a drag so I couldn't very well ask them.
Anyway, I found this question constantly boggled me especially as I was browsing some of your nudie posts (a girl has a sex drive, too!) so I thought I would ask the dudes who are wiser than Gandhi himself.

My feeling on this issue is that the guys who post these naughty comments get off on A. putting dirty words into the public domain of the Internet and/or B. Airing their most intimate celebrity fantasies to strangers.
What do you all think? It would be great to hear from some dirty commenters on the issue! Click the poll or leave a comment.
I find all these comments about sucking, ramming, bottoming for all these men to be really annoying. IF you want to talk like that... why not just go to manhunt or gay.com or something and get laid?
As a gay man, I find these comments embarrassing... yes, straight men act inappropriate too... but we chastise and make fun them. Therefore, I chastise and make fun of the flakes that post dirty posts here.
Suggestion: go get a date... have sex in REAL life... then you won't feel the need to wank off online and post dirty comments about Harry Potter, Brad Pitt, or any number of B-rated celebrities.
There is too much irony in the comments here, such as the question poster being demonized on here actually supporting gays, and the people who are attacking her supporting wrongful gay stereotypes.
every hetrosexual male i know has no problem saying they would like to fuck a pretty girls legs off when they see one, or other assorted remarks referring to sex. being the only gay guy in a family of 8 kids with 6 boys that is where i learned to say sexual remarks of the same kind only about boys. my brothers were all jocks so maybe that is just jock mentallity(i dunno not a jock)but it seems natural to say it and to hear it, from st8rt boys or gay boys.
I don't have too much of a problem of guys leaving crude messages ogling some naked dudes on a blog -- but frankly they're boring to read when they're so blatantly obvious. I find it much more interesting when such comments are expressed in a witty and clever manner -- it's part of what makes reading blog comments enjoyable -- but I guess that's expecting too much.
My homosexual friends, I love you, but I can't believe you pulled the gay card on this one. The asker is obviously friends with lots of gays, and she's not associating gay men any more so with perverted comments than straight men (in fact she's complimenting gay men by asking them instead of straight men because she prefers them). And she's not trying to censor anybody, she's just asking why in the world someone would leave such ridiculous comments, for Christian Siriano's sake. Leave the woman be! I think the title of this post ("Gay perverts") may have misled people into thinking that this was an anti-gay attack of some sort.
I agree with others who talk about it as a sense of community. That's what comments sections are for, to read what others are thinking, and share what you're thinking if you're moved to. While my comments don't usually get into inserting tab a into slot b territory, if I'm sufficiently inspired I will. I hear guys all day long talking "i'd hit that" (yeah that's still around), milfs, etc. Oh, and there are a lot of women in my family, and I have heard women talk about men and sex in ways that could make a sailor blush, so the idea that GLBT/male/female makes much difference seems like a pretense.
It seems like a really dull question to me, with an obvious answer. More interesting would be the people who comment on the size of a famous guy's goods, in a very negative way. I'd like to know just what their definition of not small would be, whether it is bigger than a baseball bat, or if they just post small comments about not small guys to troll or out of jealousy.
Many of my hetero male friends have no qualms with letting loose with similar diatribes on what they would like to do specifically to the ladies. Initially they did so assuming I was straight, which I corrected them by going on diatribes of my own about sucking cock and anal sex. I believe in equal time.
So yes, straight males do go on similar rants about the object of their "affection".
I promised myself I would stop being judgmental of judgmental people.
I have friends that use explicit language and friends that don't, I don't consider one group to be any more ethical than the other. I certainly don't consider the more colorful ones perverted. They just have different personalities.
