Opponents square-up for a match. They appear evenly suited; roughly the same age, height, weight and build. They are muscular but not in a gym-sculpted way; their muscles are rounder, denser, with a corn-fed fullness that’s in keeping with their youth.
There is a range of male bodies on display in wrestling, yet the men of this match are the kind that we, as gay men, are most familiar with: university aged, with the looks from of a Greek Adonis. In the modern sporting arena, wrestling is no longer contested in the nude, but the singlets the wrestlers wear today are so form-clinging they may as well be.
