Sex Because Putting Your Hands Deep Down the Pants of a Greased Up Muscle Stud Is Called...

...sports!

Thank you, Turkish oil wrestlers. Thank you, Buzzfeed. Thank you, Slog tipper Ben. And thank you, what happens at 1:32 mark.

I love how the internet periodically rediscovers Turkish oil wrestling. It is a marvelous thing.

if for 16 microseconds one can suspend one's lust; can you imagine the far greater strategic physical purchase grabbing the guys pants in that fashion? (since grabbing his genitals is likely not permitted). didn't make it to the full 16 microseconds, did we?

They stole that from the Greeks.

LOOKS LIKE ITS TIME TO GET OILED UP

That pictorial on Buzzfeed is like stills from the movie I wish Claire Denis would get around to.

This sport is new to me, so I looked it up on wiki.

"Unlike Olympic wrestling, oil wrestling matches may be won by achieving an effective hold of the kisbet. Thus, the pehlivan aims to control his opponent by putting his arm through the latter's kisbet."

So that's what they call that thing at 1:32.

This should have been labeled NSFW.

Gosh--if high school wrestling had been anything like this, I would have joined the team.

@5- Try saying that to a Turk's face.

I think the Stranger mixed up the movie headlines again. Didn't you mean to call the oil wrestling video "a tight little thriller?"

Posted by Unbrainwashed on March 21, 2013 at 10:49 AM

I've been watching these videos for years...never at work.

So right after the 1:32, who got the dirty Sanchez?

Posted by ProstSeattle on March 21, 2013 at 12:01 PM

Jesus, try to imagine how awful those pants must smell.

@14- I imagine some people find the odor of sweaty Mediterranean manhood drenched in oil delightful.

@14: olive oil, leather, man stank, grass stains. YES PLEASE!!

Posted by Rowlf on March 21, 2013 at 2:04 PM

@16, after it's been hanging in the shed all year? Those things are unwashable. They probably soften them up with sheep dung.

I think this is the same video they play on a loop at Diesel.

Posted by BoyfriendoftheYear on March 21, 2013 at 3:35 PM

#17, would that be before or after the sheep has, ah, felt the love from the Turkish oil wrestlers? Izmur had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb ...

Not Gay. Not Gay, at all.

Posted by Sandiai on March 21, 2013 at 5:50 PM

That video made me gayer. And a sports fan.

Posted by Etherite on March 21, 2013 at 7:15 PM

I don't really find this gay at all. But I can see why some people do. Maybe that's because I'm a straight ex-wrestler.

Posted by ohthetrees on March 21, 2013 at 9:11 PM

A couple more thoughts. Some commenter on youtube said that it seemed like "play-fighting" and was strangely gentle. Maybe it looks gentle because it's all in slow-motion? Didn't look gentle to me. Plus, these bouts can last 30-40 minutes. My wrestling matches lasted 6 minutes and left me utterly, utterly spent. These guys are exhausted, and it is like two boxer in the 15th round. They are moving a bit slower.
