Jeffrey Wammes: Hunk, Hottie, and Out Athlete.

I know, that whole Trump/gay thing leaves a bad taste in your mouth (no pun intended) even if it was just a ‘That’s So Gay’ reference. Concerned that my post may be at fault when you get an unwanted mental picture of The Donald mid-blow job on your date Saturday night, I thought it only right I double up on the Gay of The Week post this time around and offer one from the opposite end of the spectrum: a real gay boi.

Dutch Gymnast Jeffrey Wammes recently came out, appearing on several Dutch television talk shows and in this month’s Linda magazine’s Gay In Sports issue. Yup, know what you’re thinking: another unnecessary act of commin’ out. Obviously the boi is gay. After all, he is Dutch. (Oh, yeah, and a gymnast, too.)

The hunky twenty-four year old felt the magazine’s special edition was a perfect opportunity to come out. “There was already a lot of speculation about whether or not I fell for boys or girls. To me it has nothing to do with sport or how I perform. But when I was asked to do this, I made it clear straight away how things were and that’s that.”

Of course upon reading the news of his coming out, I immediately had to spend days hours wading through photo after photo of hot male gymnasts on the internet to find the best of Jeffrey for you. A sacrifice for sure, but one I was willing to make because your interests always come first. Picking the best one out of the lot proved difficult. But then I remembered you can never have enough pix of hot muscled guys, so what the hell, I’ll post a few.

To many guys the ideal male body is the ‘swimmer’s build.’ I think that’s not due to the body-style as much as it is to the skimpy, ball hugging, bulge on display swimsuit. For my money, the body by god is that of a gymnast; muscles taut, butt prominent, their fingers naturally curled inward by the density of their forearms . . . Oh, sorry, where was I?

Jeffrey will be competing in several World Cup events this year eyeing a berth on his country’s team for the 2012 Olympics in London. Maybe it’s time for the Olympics to honor tradition and have the athletes compete naked as they originally did back in ancient Greece.

I hope Jeffrey has a long and illustrious career as a gymnast. I’m looking forward to years of drooling over this hottie. And once all the medals have been won, he’s a natural: there’s always a job waiting for him at Tawan. Gotta run . . . I’m off to my bank to open a special Jeffrey Wammes Off Fee & Tip savings account.

If this photo doesn’t scream bar boy, I don’t know what does.

The Dutch men’s gymnastics team only managed to qualify for a single spot at the Olympics. The national committee named Epke Zonderland to fill that spot almost immediately after the Test Event in January. Jeffrey sued, protesting the decision and the courts agreed with him ruling that the selection of Zonderland was arbitrary and capricious. It was determined that the selection would be made by the two gymnast’s performances at the European Championships and World Cup competitions.

Neither performed well at the Europeans. Unfortunately Wammes did not compete at the final World Cup event due to a knee injury he sustained while competing at the Maribor Challenge Cup in June, and will not be competing at the London Games.

USA gymnast Josh Dixon will be making his Olympic bid this weekend, so there’s still a chance we’ll see an openly gay gymnast competing at the games for the first time. Keep your toes crossed, and in the meantime enjoy a few more photos of Jeffrey.
