After months of foreplay and weeks of stroking, The London Olympics finally reached its climax and had a happy ending. The good news is the Winter Games just don’t do much for me; the only bulges are on the luge athletes and that’s about rolls of fat not fatties of Olympic rowers. So you’re safe from Olympic coverage from me for another three and a half years. Though you may want to start planning accordingly, I’ve decided to attend next time around ‘cuz Rio is a wild and crazy town that should make the 2016 Games extreme to the max. I’ve got time (a bit) to work out the logistics but I seem to remember it’s easy for a Thai to visit Brazil so I’m thinking of taking Noom along. Even though that is like carrying coals to Newcastle.
Of more immediate interest (to me) is seeing how many new readers stick around now that the Olympics are over. It seems having the keywords ‘bulge’ and ‘gay’ paired up with any Olympic athlete does wonders for driving folks to your blog from Google. During the two+ weeks the Games were underway there were over 300,000 page hits on my blog with a new record of 31,500 visitors on August 1. Channing Tatum’s penis finally met its match in a hunky little Cuban boy in tights. NBC may have thought the interest was in the competitions and who won a medal but Google says the world wanted to know who might be gay and who had the best bulge in London.
That is gonna be a much more difficult call in Brazil. Even before the Olympians hit town. And I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up the XXX Games than to post a taste of what Rio has to offer. See ya in 2016!
[‘The XXX Games’ are a series of posts about hot Olympians, gay competitors – both present and past – and general articles about the 2012 London Olympics of interest to gay men. So, yeah, lots of hot male eye candy. Click the XXX Games graphic below for additional news, stories, and pictures.]

I’m kinda surprised there was no big groundswell complaining how homoerotic these Olympics were. I think you’re probably right about supposedly straight guys enjoying the Games in a whole new way.

I betting (and hoping) that the Rio Olympics are going to be really, really hot. Brazil is a sexy, sweaty, sensual, erotic place all on it’s own. Imagine throwing thousands of young, fit, excited athletes from all over the world into that Brazilian mix. WOW. I bet you’re going to have lots to blog about when you go.

I’m thinking non-stop party.
I’m not sure how well they are gonna do with logistics, but Brazil knows how to party, that’s for sure!

I’ve been pretty surprised at how many stories have been in the media about Olympic bulges and about the sexuality of the various athletes. At first I thought it was just me and the media I consume, but it was pretty across the board in the “Straight Media” also. I’ve got to imagine there are hundreds of stiff preachers about to regale us about the evils of spandex.
Bangkokbois said:
Or not. I think many of those preachers are the same people who are busy Googling ‘Olympic bulge” Jeffrey.
I just read that the 2012 Olympics drew the highest number of viewers ever. That’s pretty amazing; if I was a straight guy I’d have been a bit taken aback by all the swinging dick on display every time I tuned in. NBC got a lot of flack for their crappy coverage but the numbers speak for themselves: who cares which sport it is as long as there are plenty of bulges on display viewers will be happy. And will keep coming back for more.

I think a lot of the increase in viewership has to do with how visually stunning the picture is now. I know for myself I had the option of watching a standard definition feed from BBC news on my Roku box or watch the crappy but HD coverage on NBC and unless I really really wanted to see something live I always chose NBC. I even found myself watching women’s events because it was so stunning. Don’t tell anyone.

You may be right Jeffrey, I’m so used to HD by now that I hadn’t considered how much better the coverage looked.
