Gym gay hookup
6 Guys Share Their Wildest Gym Hook-Up Stories
There are few places outside of the comforts of your own home where you’re almost guaranteed to hasten into other people wearing minimal clothing. A steamy beach in the summer, for starters. A strip club (need we verb more?). And of course, the gym or your go-to boutique fitness studio. Which is no wonder why “workout crushes” are such a huge thing, for both fitness fanatics and instructors alike. Exposed skin + endorphins = pheromones, flying. One recent Bowflex survey even reports that 34 percent of men have had a crush on their trainer.
“The gym could be both the best and the worst place to meet someone, if we want to go jet and white,” says Leora Manischewitz, Psy.D., clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist in New York. “The best because there’s a lot of single people, it’s easy to chat someone up, and you’re typically near other people physically. A difficult place because there can be such an emphasis on how you look, which can be something people obsess over and a bit intimidating.”

Did @twunkified actually hook up with his Equinox instructor, or was he fabricating a story for a tiny bit of internet clout? There’s no way to be sure — but regardless of the story’s veracity, it launched a meme that’s taking over the gay internet.
The meme has a simple formula: Borrow @twunkified’s sentence structure, swap a few words around, and you could find yourself being
It&#;s no surprise that people have sex in gym changing rooms. You&#;re already undressed, you&#;re slick with sweat – a peer generously described as &#;sexy&#; – and the endorphins generated from planking for 45 straight minutes could feasibly put you in the mood for more strenuous physical activity.
Members of the Virgin Active health club in Barbican, London were made explicitly aware of this on the 5th of August, when they were sent an email informing them that management had heard &#;reports of incidents linked to individuals [sic] inappropriate behaviour, specific to the male locker room facilities&#;. Members were warned that &#;going forward… undercover police officers will be exhibit in the male locker room and they will take any appropriate reaction should the need arise&#;.
However, a spokesperson for City of London police has since told Buzzfeed they&#;ve sent no undercover officers into Virgin Active&#;s Barbican branch – or any other gym in the City. This is hardly surprising, given that the Sexual Offences Operate prohibits all forms of sexual activity in adj toi

He mentioned a Naperville gym as the site of his first sexual encounter many years ago. “My initial reaction was it was a little creepy,” he says of a guy who started masturbating in an open shower stall across from his, “but I wasn’t turned off by it.” John surrendered to temptation and has since become a frequent practitioner. “I figure, why not maximize my incentives to work out,” he says. &ldquo
