There’s nothing shameful about this body

Many people seem to think bodies like Bachelor host Osher Gunsberg’s are something to feel shame about. There’s not, and I’m not just saying that to be nice or politically correct.

Osher Gunsberg feels body-shamed by paparazzi pictures of his hairy chest and an article headline about his “Bali belly” — but if he’s the one who has been shamed, why am I the one blushing?

I’m blushing because I find this new husky, rugged and body-shamed Bachelor host sexy. There. I said it.

He looks good, and I’m not just saying that in an inclusive body-positive righteous Dove TV commercial kind of way.

He looks really good, and I’m saying it in a sleazy, heavy breathing, mildly predatory kind of way.

I’m saying it in the kind of way where my eyebrows are boinging up towards my hairline and my tongue is cartoonishly unfurling out of my drooling mouth onto the floor like a carpet unrolling down a set of stairs.

I’m being entirely superficial in my assessment.

No need for shame. (Pic: Supplied)

In no sense is my attraction to the burlier bushier Gunsberg the result some kind of extrapolation about his appearance somehow suggesting that he’s at ease in his own skin or self-confident or that he doesn’t care about what others think of him or that he must have a good personality or a spirit that shines through a rougher exterior.

No. I could not care less about his spirit shining through when I look at these photos.

I’m sure he has a lovely spirit, and that he cares for animals and regularly offers his seat to the elderly on public transportation.

He could, however, have a paper bag over his spirit in these photos for all I care. He would still look devastatingly humpable in the recent body-shaming photos of his broad and butch masculine physique barely being contained by a moist, skin-tight wetsuit.

His appearance is that of an adult male not a young man.

It’s that of man who has well and truly reached sexual maturity and, surprise, surprise, what a biological evolutionary coinky-dink, that is what is attractive to many women who have also reached sexual maturity.

And yet, many people seem to think bodies like Gunsberg’s are something to feel shame about.

There’s not, and I’m not just saying that to be nice or politically correct.

As you have no doubt gathered from this article, I’m not nice nor am I politically correct.

I’m saying that his body isn’t shameful because I sometimes get feelings, akin to those of an out of control degenerate, that make me obnoxiously objectify intelligent and kind TV celebrities by focusing solely on their external appearance.

Looking at Gunsberg “Bali belly” is, as anyone who’s read this far can attest, one of those times.

So if there’s anyone who should feel shame about these photos of Gunsberg body it is clearly me over this embarrassing public display of lecherous desire he inspired.
