As someone who runs, swims, walks, takes yoga classes and lifts weights, I can sympathize. I am constantly vigilant against weight gain; I’ve been morbidly obese in one time in my life. For the record, my best “old man” running times are 19:53 for 5K, 41:27 for 10K and 3:38 for the marathon; now-a-days my 5K runs are in the 25-27 minute range and I walk rather than run marathons (typically between 5:15 and 5:40).

Anyway, enough about me; I can say that I am sympathetic toward those who are trying to improve their fitness.

But mostly, I find these women to be very sexy; much sexier than the professional models. This is the first 1/4′th of those I have seen. Oh yes, I am male.

NOTE If you are one of these women and don’t like being shown here, contact me and I’ll take the link to your video off (along with the thumbnail).

Ok, let me be clear about what I am NOT talking about. I am not talking about women playfully clowning around after a sporting event (or before?)

I am not talking about women who compete in attire that creeps up on them (even if that is part of the selling point).

And no, I am not talking about women who are working out and get captured by that hidden camera or telephoto lens.

So what am I talking about? I am talking about “sexy” videos that have a workout theme where at least part of the point is to titillate the viewer sexually.

These videos can range from those that really are serious workouts:

(the second is from a different video in the series)

Then there are those that take legitimate moves but focus on pouty expression and various “intimate” body parts. This one shows yoga moves and has “yoga like” soft music in the background…perhaps to….well…add to the naughtiness???

Then there is the old “exercise” videos from the 1970′s-1980′s era. This shows a repeated full squats sequence which really can burn the thighs; but there is a reason for the angle.

A comedy version with the same theme can be found here. You can see Barbra Streisand do deep squats and bounce her butt up and down.

Then there is the “this is what the video is for” period:

And my analysis is: well…I really don’t have one; I just wanted an excuse to post the videos and photos. No worries; at races I notice but am usually trying to just keep moving. At yoga class: often I am trying to avoid toppling over.

Well, it turns out that these knots appear on yoga pants:

Of course, this might be some sort of satellite knot of a trefoil (a knot with a trefoil companion) but one never knows until one takes a better look!

Example, consider this cut of a photo that I got off of the web:

The mirror shot makes the viewer (or heterosexual male viewers anyway) hunger for more…but then you don’t get “more”! Dang; such a shot drives me crazy.

I took a look at that person’s photo stream (Ida Pyl) and notice that there were lots of butt shots, but no photos showed a face. Something didn’t look quite right; then I saw the tags: Ida is a cross dresser, and, well, straight.

Ida’s whole photo set is some sort of mixture of butt-visible pantie line fantasy, “bondage” (Dr. Frankenfurter) and some good art.

Surprisingly, I found myself LIKING it!!!!

So, I started to question my own sexuality. Sure, I’ve never been attracted to a male in person, and being in a male locker room causes me no discomfort at all.

It turns out that I was reacting to the feminine or the “feminine looking”; example: (not Ida):

So what about the crack in my title?

Well, what I’ve found that these crossdressers WANT you to look at their photos and butts; some will even ask you for suggestions as to the kinds of bends, butt positions, clothes, etc. They are happy if you are happy!

With humans with two X chromosomes: things are a bit too complicated. One one hand, they get mad when you look…and then get mad when you don’t? If you told a woman “why don’t you bend over this way” or “go into yoga child because I like the way your butt looks when you are in that position”, they get upset.

Cross dresser: they say “thanks for the suggestion” and “hope you like it”:

Yeah, I know; the cross dressers can move to a fantasy world, then come back out of it whereas a woman is a woman 24 hours a day; she might have legitimate fears of unwelcome advances (or worse), being judged for her appearance (say, on the job), etc. And given that women are so much judged by their appearances, their “stock” goes down with age.

Sure, I am in my early 50′s and yes, my body is falling apart too; I can’t run as fast as I once could nor can I lift nearly as much weight. But I am employed at a reasonably well paying job and that counts for a great deal, even if I don’t look so hot.

Oh well, life has its complications and human sexuality can be both simple (“hey, nice butt!”) and complicated at the same time.

Love it…
And yes, not a perfect model’s physique. But I don’t care at all!

Simply wearing the color red or being bordered by the rosy hue makes a man more attractive and sexually desirable to women, according to a series of studies by researchers at the University of Rochester and other institutions. And women are unaware of this arousing effect.

The cherry color’s charm ultimately lies in its ability to make men appear more powerful, says lead author Andrew Elliot, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. “We found that women view men in red as higher in status, more likely to make money and more likely to climb the social ladder. And it’s this high-status judgment that leads to the attraction,” Elliot says.

Why does red signal rank? The authors see both culture and biology at work. In human societies across the globe, red traditionally has been part of the regalia of the rich and powerful. Ancient China, Japan and sub-Saharan Africa all used the vibrant tint to convey prosperity and elevated status, and Ancient Rome’s most powerful citizens were literally called “the ones who wear red.” Even today, the authors note, businessmen wear a red tie to indicate confidence, and celebrities and dignitaries are feted by “rolling out the red carpet.”

The article goes on to say that men are attracted to women in red. Good enough.

Me: I like my political maps to be mostly blue:

and women to wear red; especially shiny red spandex:

Andy shiny red underwear:

Especially when you can see the underwear through clothing (e. g., white skirts, pants, etc.)

My guess as to what happened: she probably was either challenged or decided to “show off” her yoga/gymnastic skills in her dorm room and a friend decided to have some fun with her. We did similar stuff when I was in college.
