Tired of gym/fitness phobia!

Perhaps, I'd like to see a more intellectual gym.

Instead of sport on the treadmill, you watch Nietzsche lectures.

On the screen in the locker-room they show Brecht plays.

Instead of duf-duf music, they blare Foucault and Judith Butler lectures.

Once you've showered and walk out, you will feel depressingly empowered.

I asked my friends at a birthday party today, do you think my trainer knows I'm gay?

Not like they know much about gym - both my age and ballooning alarmingly.
But I've planted a seed. I can see, but that's another story.

And they were both immediately yeah he does?
I'm like how can he tell?
And they both just stayed silent.
Flip, am I that obvious?
I thought I was under-cover and infiltrating with benefits.

But so what?
Now I'm addicted to gym, and people there like me.

Is it a sex thing - no, definitely not.

But like all spaces it has its own aura of underlying sexuality.
But I could say that from working at the coffee shop, or the petrol station (that was a sex thing).
Maybe even ATS.

But I understand people who've never tried.
They just see the magazine covers imprisoned in plastic at the supermarket.
it must all be one step down from porn and those weird drugs.
