Wrestlers

It's an extraordinary sport, when you stop to think about it.  In a homophobic society, two sweaty, struggling men, in skin-tight lycra, with beaut bodies, their legs and arms wrapped round each other, simultaneously aggressive and ridiculously intimate.

It's usually youngsters who do it, but when I was a youngster I'd get a boner just from a thought (these days it requires more work.)  I suspect even straight wrestlers get hard-ons when they wrestle.  Yet it's a respected part of the university sports pantheon.  Bizarre.
