Just out of idle curiosity I often like to figure what architypial gay male I am. I'm noticing that my preference in men really isn't written in stone as it's my belief that anything can be eroticised. It just depends on the influencial factors in your life as to what you choose first.

At the heart of my sexual ideal is always facial hair. It's prescense seems to transcend preference into requirement. Without it things seem.. incorrect. There's a multitude of reasons I can hypothesize such as residual denial of sexuallity with the beard functioning as re-enforcement of masculinity. And of course some sort of strange homo-freudian theory, as many figures of masculinity in my life had beards.

And then everybody exploded.

The residual denial theory is interesting, I've had a spectre of that suspicion before, primarily because of how arbitrary and absolute my preference seems. One feels compelled to explain it further than 'it's hot'.

But whatever, it's hot.

Yeah know, I think it comes down to just that. "It's hot" and that's all.

Although, in addition, I must say for the lover of the specifically facially hirsute (and in general) the stigma surrounding it as being things such as "anti-intellectual" and "trashy" really suck. Sometimes it feels as if the future doesn't include facial hair, like we're these primative anachronisms eroticizing a trait marked for evolutionary phase-out by darwin himself.

I've noticed more beards around lately than I have in years. god, I can't be original if I try, I got a barn coat, everyone bought barn coats. I bought a beach hat, everyone went out and got beach hats. I grew a beard, everyone's growing beards. I'm gonna have to find something drastic.


Oh yeah, it is hot.
