Would something like a Bruce Lee poster be a less creepy alternative?
A lot of teenage boy idolize body builders. There’s nothing wrong with putting up posters of your sports idols.
The queer jokes about body builders stopped thirty years ago. You can find gays in any sport. Most Body builders aren’t gay. Arnold certainly isn’t.
I am stunned at the Arnold hate.
Actors and Actresses routinely screw around on their spouses and get divorced. Some are famous for multiple marriages. Zsa Zsa Gabor married & divorced nine times. Richard Burton married 5 times.
Why all the Arnold hate? Did he kill someones dog or something? Why is he different from all the other horny actors?
The best part is that you can tell its PSXer just from the title.
Ouch! Was that really called for?
Burton was actually a decent actor.
Arnold is the best in his movie genre
Personally, I think this one would fulfill the requirement without being as creepy. This would also be good as an updated alternative, but be sure to get the AA batteries and the Swiffer WetJet starter kit.
Agreed.
You’re 21, it should be pictures of women in bikinis brandishing alcohol.
He can’t. He’s allergic to beer–it gives him a tummy ache!

Put up what you want. If someone doesn’t like it, then they’re not right for you anyway. If you find someone who does like it - WOO HOO!
What, they don’t sell M.C. Escher prints anymore?
They had a Clockwork Orange poster done in M.C Escher style
Dude, stop caring so much what other people think and put up whatever damn poster you like.
And, as a young male who knows what it’s like to be branded with the scarlet C from time to time, I’ll tell you how you can make it not creepy. It relates to what I said first, and that’s confidence. For situations like these that are living on the border of Creeperville, it’s all about how you spin it.
Say for example a girl comes into your room. I know we’re getting ahead of ourselves, but let’s be positive. Furthermore, let’s imagine said young filly comments on your Ahnold poster. It’s all good bro. Say something along the lines of:
‘Oh yeah. I love that poster! Sure he has his flaws, but do you know about his early life? He worked his way up from nothing! He escaped an abusive past, came to a country he knew little about, and went on to live the American dream! His work ethic was almost superhuman, and he’s not just a meathead either. I for one really admire him. And besides, who doesn’t like Terminator 2?’
You’ve said nothing untrue, you’ve opened up many avenues for further interesting discussion, you’ve shown you have a passion for something in a thoughtful way, and worst case scenario the conversation just naturally progresses to something else, with noone worse for wear.
Do you see what I’m saying?
Even if she doesn’t think he’s gay, she’s going to think he’s into bodybuilding. Maximizing the measurements of one’s thighs and neck, and appearing to care more about his looks than hers, is NOT sexy even if he’s straight.
AMC is having a Jurassic Park week. Are your jizz levels through the roof, PSXer?
Bodybuilders may not be assumed to be gay. But having pictures of them on your wall implies you enjoy looking at them.
Heck, it was how I discovered that my uncle was gay.
Exactly what is wrong with the 70s?
Don’t you mean Frazetta?
Yeah I watched JP on AMC Monday night and JP3 last night. I guess they skipped The Lost World because nobody likes it
Have we reached a point where having a picture of a sports hero makes you gay?
Guys have had pictures of athletic heroes on their walls and stuff for decades. It doesn’t make you gay. Jesus Christ, not everything is some sort of homocode.
There’s also the (stunningly obvious, to me) fact that what is perceived as being pretty gay to a mature person is not what a kid or young adult will see as being gay. To me, a 39-year-old man, things like pro wrestling and the movie “Top Gun” are amusingly gay. To a kid, theyre not; “Top Gun” came out when I was 13 or 14 and every teenaged boy liked it because it had jet fighters blowing shit up. I didn’t get any sexual jollies out of it; my perception of sexuality was different, and in that case was largely focused on Kelly McGillis being hot (how ironic.)
If all these alleged gay flags were true there’d be no straight guys.
