Called in sick today; still recovering from the weekend. This meant watching lots of daytime TV, which I haven’t done for ages. I was very pleasantly surprised to find how much there is to wank over, particularly the presenters of kids TV programmes. When did these presenters become so fit? It definitely wasn’t like this in my day and I was a fairly hormonally charged kid. Highlight was the male model-category presenter of kids show ‘Blue Peter’ (too obvious to make a joke) lying semi-naked, getting his perfectly buff chest waxed by the female presenters. He tried not to appear happy about it, faking lots of painful cries of protestation, but all the time a big grin; was that a bulge in his trousers? It does sound like the beginning of a softcore porn flick. So, now they’re using sex to sell kids TV; fantastic!

My second point is what’s with all the waxing and shaving? This gay had a nice, neatly shaped covering of soft, light brown hair extending up in a straight line from his navel and covering each gym-toned pec; this guy was no yeti; he looked great. I almost had tears during the waxing, but not of pain, just sad that he would be losing his attractive manliness and joining the ranks of the girly ‘smooth-skins’. I just don’t get it; what’s this increasing desire to remove every hair from the body and return to that pre-pubescent look? I fuck men because I’m turned on by male characteristics, and that includes a hairy ringpiece.

Now I admit to feeling the pressure in the past and have indulged in a bit of hair removal – I found that Immac worked pretty well, particularly on the balls – but it just felt wrong afterwards, and wasn’t prepared for the itching and soreness from a stubbly arse a few days later. So now I’m just going to let it grow, au naturel; besides, it will only take some bright stylist to come up with the idea to start giving body hair the ‘Toni & Guy’ treatment and fur will be back in fashion this season.
