A Paris Spectator Event, No Medals Ceremonies Required

The Paris Olympics, a sporting competition with athletes wearing tight lycra highlighting manly body parts.  Understandable, fit guys in prime shape are the ultimate eye candy and physical fantasy. However, for those who could not make it to the 2024 Games, but plan on being in the French Capital one day. Forget about those medal ceremonies, for this event, participation is enough, “Let this Game Begin”.  I can recommend a tawdry experience that is sort of a spectator sport that is a cheap thrill bordering on pervy.

Parisian parks are the gathering place for a densely packed city.  There are activities of all kind, families walking with a stroller, romantic young couples sitting on the grass, teenagers hanging out with friends.  Jogging is also a popular ritual.   Men run around the parks: single, in pairs and in groups. One common thread, undoubtedly many of these guys want to be an object of sexual variations. These baguettes come in all shapes and sizes.

Grab a Croissant then Enjoy

 A runner in a public space on a sunny day is as normal as birds in trees.  But what makes Paris different is what the male runners wear.   Grab a coffee and croissant, get a viewing spot next to a running trail, sit and view.  French men seem to buy fitness wear in the children’s department.  The tights look tighter in a certain place. Nothing is left to imagination. A well outlined penis held in place by the most fitted legging stitching. One has to wonder if sweat could come between a body part and material. 

The second outfit is the loose look, shorts made of polyester and elastane.  For some reasons these mid-rise shorts seem full, almost, overflowing swinging from side to side.  A carnal advertisement in live motion.  One common thread, many of these guys want to be an object of sexual variations.  Certainly, these men look in the mirror before going out the door.   It makes one wonder if their partners know the runner wants an affair with half the city, a mass public flirtation. Or maybe there are local hotels charging by the hour.

One does not need the world’s biggest sporty event for enjoying an impressive bulge in Paris, just find a green space on a given sunny day.

Is Paris the Same Place?

Traveling to Paris for Fashion Week can come across as glamour meets pretentious. However, for this visit, clothing was front and center. We hit some shows, but decided to focus on behind the scenes by getting the low down on the business and trends. Designers, press relations and stores gave us opinions on topics ranging from shopping experiences to the quiet luxury shift. The industry is going through some changes.
