Slog - Comments on Men on Mission http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/men_on_mission Sexy, sexy Mormon boys... Grumpy, grumpy Mormon elders... A Las Vegas man who devised a calendar that features shirtless Mormon missionaries is facing a disciplinary hearing and possible excommunication because of the project. A lifetime member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Chad Hardy was summoned by letter to a Sunday meeting with a council of elders to discuss his "conduct unbecoming a member of the church." Thanks, PopTart!...

Damn.

You know that whole discussion about the male version of butterface? Can we come up with a term that describes someone who is hot, but has some sort of crazy belief system? Like a super-hot Mormon, or JW, or conservative Christian, or Republican?

I don't have a term for it, either, but I sure have the mental category. I think things like, "I'm not sticking it in YOU", or "No soup for you!!!", but I can't boil it down to a pithy phrase or word.

And, for reals, that's one hot Mormon.

huh-huh-huh, he said "member."

so, gay men, are the guys made hotter by their possible/likely virgin status? i know it increases their appeal for me...

Send a man who looks like a man and maybe I'll pretend to listen to you while I ogle you.

Otherwise, leave me a pamphlet I can throw away.

*No prejudice intended to Mormons in general, one of my dearest friends is one. They just don't pick the "finest in masculinity" (aka "lumberjack-types") to spread their word.

They're just trying to catch up with the Catholics, of course, with their humpy, babe-a-licious Vatican boy calendar, Calendario Romano:

http://www.calendarioromano.co.uk/

which has been around for years.

Can't touch them Catholics.

No matter how much fresh-scrubbed, corn-fed, clean-cut charm he may possess, it can only turn out to be a clumsy, desperate, sex-starved fumble followed by a series of intense, shame-based recriminations.

Take it from someone who knows.

Because while I don't know many Mormons, about a third of those I do know are gay.

I've been staring at that Mormon for like two days. Fortunately I have a dentist appointment this morning to break me of this obsession.

It could read "Mormons Exposed" or "Mormon Sex, Posed".

I'll take either.

Since mormons have obnoxiously huge families, there's a greater chance that the youngest sons are homo.
I think Dan even posted something about this exact scenario some time ago.

He hasn't been actively participating in the church, paying his 10% tithes or wearing the Jesus jammies(I love that description) for several years, so I guess the excommunication won't be all that tough on him.
As a former mo' myself, it's just as easy to resign.
