Not a sneaky gay man mind you like Adam Lambert or Neil Patrick Harris, because you can never quite tell with guys like that, no we love our celebrity homo’s to be raging. Like designer, fashionista and full on gay man Gok Wan, who was in the country last week and my, didn’t he get the penile blood pumping.
Gok was here as the new ambassador for retail chain Spec Savers and did the obligatory spokesperson things; gave female news anchors advice on their frames, judged ‘best specs’ contests, probably recorded a few TV ads and of course, played his role in the whole ‘gay man meets awkwardly straight man’ interview routine . Oh how he must tire of doing that.
It was his interviews on the likes of Breakfast and Close Up that proved that behind the facade of straightness, many a NZ male is gagging for a bit of Gok. Paul Henry, he of the glassed POV, gushed all over the Gok, as did Mike Hosking who tried to make like he was uncomfortable whenever Gok laid some in-your-end-oh on him but you could tell that deep down, he was loving it.
The irony being of course that for a long time in the media many believed Hosking did actually fancy some Gok.
Personally I like a bit of Gok. I admire the adversity he’s gotten over in his life and the magnificent work he does increasing the self confidence and body appreciation of every day women. I like that he sometimes makes his hair look like a minge and I especially like that if it wasn’t for his TV show I would have no idea who Alexa Chung is and I fancy the designer pants off her:
All of which reminds me of two things; a very funny Catherine Tate sketch and a theory I’ve have for a while now on just how many of us would secretly love a bit of Gok.It’s all based on the research done in the 1940’s by a guy named Alfred Kinsey. He conducted some then groundbreaking studies on the sexual activities of men and women in America. What he found was so profoundly revealing that for a long time the two books he published on the matter were banned in several States as ‘objectionable’.
In his findings he found that almost half the men he had surveyed had had a consensual homosexual experience and from that, he was able to formulate a scale of 1 – 6 indicating just how gay a fella was; one being dead and six being, well, Gok.
It was shocking stuff to Middle America because although homosexuality wasn’t stigmatised in the mainstream like it is today, nobody was bumming each other out in the open either.
His methods were pretty kinky too, Kinsey encouraged his research team, both male and female, to sleep with each other and even their wives if they so felt the urge but then this was the swinging Forties after all. That kind of stuff only happens at arranged parties these days. Or so I’m told.
These days we see a lot of homo repression and almost everyone with a penis has taken part in the teasing of each over supposed gayness, but when I learnt of Kinsey’s research I started to wonder if it’s all really an act of bravado that we fella’s have built up over the years to hide the fact that we really wouldn’t mind a bit of sausage in the morning.
Being gay, somewhat ironically, is now ‘in fashion’ more than it ever was with people even pretending to be queer and yet, there is still that stigma attached by most males to being attracted to the person, not the gender.
Not that I’m trying to tell you something about myself that you didn’t know either for I really do fancy only the one penis; mine.
But the real question is just how many of us really do fancy a bit of Gok...?
Mmmmm Gok, so hot right now.
