I've been in the weight room a lot lately. Wondering what other guys may have to say about this. I am by no means saying or suggesting that all guys who lift weight are gay or bisexual. I'm not saying that at all. But what I am saying is that in the weight room I often perceive a homoeroticism between men, whether they are gay, straight, bisexual, whatever. I don't know. I don't know the orientations of any of the guys I work out with. But I'm pretty sure I see homoerotic energy between even the straight guys.
Now, PLEASE UNDERSTAND -- I'm NOT saying these guys necessarily have relations with other men in their own time, in the locker room, etc. I have no idea. But it's just interesting to me that there is so much homoerotic energy in the weight room.
It's an interesting context too, because it is a context where guys can actually check each other out -- and it is okay. I see straight guys checking each other out all the time in the weight room.
