Theyre gonna learn a lot about themselves

I'm not having gay sex? I'm hiding my penis safely inside this Christian man's asshole so that women can't get to it unless they are my wife.

How are they gonna stop lust if they cram a bunch of good looking, sweaty, shirtless dudes in the same building?

do people. really wear. those shirts ? that's cringe as fcuk..

I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it's to gouge out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Seriously. Who needs a jym when you have lust?

This is a dumb response to the issue but some people, both men and women, do show up to the gym in outfits that are viewed as inappropriate in a vast majority of other places. It's not terribly difficult to keep your attention focused elsewhere but it is understandable that some want to be able to get in a work out without other people's asses in their face on a constant basis.

I'm sure most of Lemmy will call that opinion prudish or something similar but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on stuff like that. It's true that fashion is a personal choice but I don't see why you would want to do things you know will make others uncomfortable either.

"Sanctuary gyms for repressed gay men are booming"

We should congratulate them, it's hard to be straight when you are that gay.

Aside from all the gay references here this is a real two edged sword. On one hand, get all these right wing misogynist asshats away from women in gyms. Otoh, this is just another recruiting ground and echo chamber for right wing redpill incel BS.

Something tells me there will still be plenty of lust.

Grindr hotspot.

You know who else has men-only gyms? The Taliban!

famously none of them are gay

They're either super gay or someone needs to check their hard drives.

I'm sure they display a big anatomically correct Jesus on a cross right over a bench press, all sweaty and ripped in a tiny loin cloth. His cum gutters all glittering in the light with a look of pain on his face that wouldn't be out of place in an S&M club.

Seriously though, why does every gym have that one guy who only wears "Christ is King" tshirts and backpacks? My guy even leaves bibles out on top of his parked bicycle. I'm tempted to go in only wearing Satanic Temple shirts to openly mock him.

Lots of definitely not gay stuff is going to be happening there. Gay dudes with a thing for closeted guys are going to have a field day.

Can you edit the post to the original link, OP?

It's real, but also more critical than you'd think, and worth a read:

This is what Hambrecht and Parsons are doing with their male-only gyms. They’re spreading conspiracies about morality and traditional marriage that cast women as dangerous. They’re promoting men rising up as warrior-kings who are ready to fight evil, and they’re getting rid of women who they claim are ruining everything.

EDIT:

To join Parsons’ Christian manosphere, it’s a bit more intense. Gym members must sign a covenant called “Rule of Life” that requires such beliefs as “marriage as one man and one woman,” or “two genders, given by God at creation.” And it requires strict adherence to “the behavioral and moral standards of the Remnant Gym membership agreement.” Their website says, “Christian authority is enforced through ownership, contracts and the courage to hold the line.”

That is not a real name

Giving your best bro a BJ will help protect him from sinful thoughts.

Christian dudes going to an all-male gym? Oh, you better believe they be lusting.

Won't somebody think about the lusty christian men?
