30. “Size Too Small” – Skinny Guys

Full episodes, Society & Culture

 Are you a #SkinnyLegend? Twinks, skinny guys, and pocket gays are on the menu this week. Dig in!

 While Daddy is away the boys will play!

‘Daddy’ Tim is on holiday, leaving Michael in charge – pray for us. Our extra special guest host, JOY regular, Liam is joining the podcast for a few weeks to lend a hand – and probably more.

Get the skinny on twinks

Michael and Liam unpack what it means to be a slender or slim guy in a culture of gay men that celebrates muscle and a masc4masc mentality. From Tom of Finland to the pages of Mandate, to the film studios of Colt and TitanMen – our Muscle Mary brothers are seen as the epitome of male form to many.

We delve into gay male misogyny and sexism, bottom shaming, femme shaming, mental health, and body image.

Slim pickings

Don’t worry to our thicc boys, we love you too! This episode will be part one in an arc of episodes covering body image in our community.
