Rocking a chrome dome? Exhibiting male pattern baldness? You just moved to the front of the line for many gay dudes, as users of the Reddit community r/AskGayMen can attest.
In a recent thread on that subreddit, one person wrote, “I’ve always been attracted to bald and balding guys. It’s at the top of my list for what I look for in looks. But I’ve always wondered: Is this a common preference/fetish? Because it’s not an archetypical ‘tribe’ like bear, twink, or otter.”
Whether it’s a tribe or no, a lot of other Redditors could relate! Sure, there were some men who said they prefer their matches to have full heads of hair, but many commenters said that baldness—or balding-ness—was a turn-on. Here are some of their glowing reviews, including a story from a user who said he’d never go back to having hair.
“Same. I just want to kiss their head.”
“My boyfriend is bald and it is so sexy. Love to hold his head in my arms and kiss his forehead.”
“Yes, I like bald guys. I am bald myself, and it’s common for bears, by the way.”
“100 percent agree. I’m not even sure why, but they just make me feel a certain way…”

“Heck yeah! Rock it!”
“I personally have not had a problem with bald guys. I generally like it. And on myself, I feel like my bald head really makes me look better, and it’s less work, for sure.”
“I like balding. I don’t like it when a guy shaves it all smooth all over just because a balding pattern appeared. In fact, I like it when a guy with a balding pattern lets his hair get slightly too long and fluffy and unkempt!”
“Yeah, I like ‘em.”
“I love it.”
“There [are] a lot of bald men who wear it well.”

“I agree. Seems like I have been speaking to many [men] who are older and bald.”
“Me! My current partner is bald, but I’ve always found them sexy — especially with some facial/body hair.”
“I’m bald, [and] my boyfriend loves it! I remember watching a YouTube video several years back. Someone was drawing a graph and added a smiley face. He went to continue talking, then paused and drew a few hairs on its head to ‘give it more confidence’ before continuing. I sat there with my bald head, absolutely dumbstruck. I’ve never felt more confident. I genuinely feel like a new man every time I shave my head completely. I’m not religious in the slightest, but being bald is a blessing. I wouldn’t change it for the world. In fact, if I could take a tablet that would stop any hair from growing on my head, I’d swallow that shit in a heartbeat.”

Expect a killer look from Jada and someone’s getting up to do a little slap and scream. We can’t have anything nice and smooth.

Yes yes. Whenever they want to talk about good looking bald buys they pull out jason stathom, the rock and vin diesel every single time.

Bald and buzzcut guys play into the same erotic category for me: the Hot Military Man. Add an army green t-shirt, boots, or camouflage anything, and I can’t take my eyes off him. There’s something unselfconscious, raw and masculine about it. A bald head signals a potent combination of confidence and vulnerability, which never fails to engorge my dingdong. Plus it eliminates hairdo-fussing, which can be a turn-off.

Yes bald is a major turn on,

Usually, the less hair on the head means more on the chest. That’s always nice.

Bold is bold and bald is beautiful. Very appealing look and feel. There are many of us who are bald by choice–not because we’re balding. A shaved head generally is a lot sexier than one with hair.

Bald men are sexy and can get a free scalp massage from me anytime?

I really miss not having a bald boyfriend. Luv giving and receiving mutual super smooth head shaves and scalp messages.
