Is it just me, or is anyone else in the world experiencing the Olympics as most enjoyable softcore porn? Those swimmers' trunks cut so low you see the hint of butt crack; track uniforms revealing more six packs than you'd see at a tailgater; skin-tight, hip-hugging bikinis on beach volleyball players...I get hot just writing about it. And of course when I think about what it must've been like to watch the athletes in ancient Athens perform in the nude, slathered in olive oil...well, excuse me while I go take care of some urgent business!There was some eye-brow raising over a few female athletes who posed semi-naked for a men's magazine. I gotta say I don't care all that much. Sure, it's sad that we can't just appreciate the inherent eroticism of these athletes at the peak of their careers, performing in their natural element. And sure it's sad that we default to these stereotypical notions of what is sexy to men (the women were posed in traditional porn poses with a bit more clothing than you'd typically see). But that said, they were hot! And they expressed a self-confidence and sexual agency you don't see much from female athletes. On top of that it was a marketing coup: you can bet Amanda Beard and her fellow posers were watched a lot more closely that some of their co-competitors!
