Desmond Morris Knows How He Likes His Men
The present doesn’t concern Desmond Morris. Not according to Mark Simpson, at least.
The man loving journo who takes issue with the zoologists not-so-modern take on modern man, The Naked Man.
“Morrisland” remains stuck in a 1950s sociosexual wasteland – a land where the gays can’t graze, nor can straight men indulge in lady like :
By far the biggest attraction in Morrisland is sexual certainty. Within this fenced-off space the distinction between ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’, ‘homosexual’ and ‘heterosexual’, is unclouded by all those unnatural modern trends. ‘As nature intended’ is a favourite phrase, one which appears above the entrance gates.In Morrisland, men are men – and there’s a strict golf club dress code. ‘Acceptance of male earrings still tends to be limited to those worn by the younger, more flamboyant males, largely from the world of sport, music and showbusiness,’ you’ll be glad to hear. Male bracelets are simply effeminate. And men only shave their legs – ‘sacrificing their masculinity’ – to swim or cycle faster.
Morris does, however, acknowledge Simpson’s semantic lovechild, the metrosexual. There is, however, a caveat: they must be unquestionably straight and, preferably, are “well-known as tough, masculine sportsmen and as famous celebrities”.
I’ve always liked Desmond Morris although sometimes his theories are a little out there. But these ideas on sexuality/sexual orientation seem pretty outdated. I think he’s just square like that.
That man is hot.
Hairy & cowboy hats don’t make sombody masculine/sexy: we all know a lot of queens are like that ‘: Some people do of course like a pot belly and bald head. for me its the energy a man exhudes that’s attractive. I’m not sure why anybody would waste their time chasing straight men unless you’re a woman, or want to be frustrated.
Desmond is being very British. He is intelligent, but that traditional English status quo snobs always gets in the way of mind expansion. California may be crass, but we are innovative stick convention where it blongs. Christopher Isherwood wouldn’t have produced anything living under a suffocating British rule.
Desmond is a charming man,i meet many masculine/sexy gayman on gaysinglehunt.com. i develop a lasting relationship with them .According to my memery, Desmond is there. If so, that would be great. I’ll help you check it out.
Can I have that guy in the pic sitting on my bed? beats a teddy bear anyday, this guy would be a lot more fun.
True that a hairy guy in a cowboy hat does not make him masculine (I’d argue the sexy bit – gives me a boner every time LOL) but I know very effeminate builders/riggers etc and guys who you would never in a million years think were gay (until you speak with them)
