Today’s YouTube: Fight Buddies
Some queer theorist somewhere — or it might have been me — said that one of the reasons men put so much passion into the pugilist arts is that what they really want to do is fuck.
The conscious mind believes it has taken the social mold but the unconscious mind knows that it has not.
Something like that.
Or as Jake LaMotta said in Raging Bull about one of his opponents: “He’s so pretty, I don’t know whether to fuck him or fight him.”
Anyway, this video addresses reverently the eroticism of sometimes brutal competition.
