It actually kind of makes sense... all of those repeated blows to the head mushing up the brain, obliterating any tiny modicum of good sense that might have been there, the hateful rhetoric might actually start making sense. Oh and let's see.. trying to exorcise repressed homo man lust with sweaty man on man adrenaline and violence.. yep. That'll work.

I'm assuming you other commentarians are straight. I'm so glad I can come out of the cage-fighting-is-really-S&M-porno closet! I thought it was just me and my oversexed brain and my limited supply of men of late that turned me into a cage fighting fan.

I am so vanilla you would not even believe it. I don't fancy the slightest kink- not a nipple piercing, not a tattoo, and especially not rubber rings with spikes.

But when that really nasty cold spell was upon us and I just couldn't bring myself to head over to Fantasy Video to rent the latest Falcon release, "Normal sizes for Normal guyz", I went incessantly mad flipping through my cable channels and came upon channels 30-36 where I usually watch poker that is better than Tylenol PM for a quick nod off for a restful night's sleep.

There, I found sexual nirvana with a bloody twist. The most amazing quasi straight rough trade hairless, teethless, brainless maneating guys right out of Deliverance.

I don't know what made me water myself more... sweaty commingling of torsos, or smearing blood soaked faces cheek to cheek. Do these guys get HIV tests on a weekly basis? I've never seen so much exchange of body fluids since barebacking in the mid-70's at the Stud in SF. (I only saw it... hence my coveted HIV status remains safe to this day).

They spend so much time "dry" humping each other they must have really small endowments or shovel in salt peter because friction is friction isn't it? I don't care what any guy rubs his manhood on, if it's for that long of duration with heat and moisture, the dinky will arouse since they do have minds of their own.

That they smack the daylights out of each other to the point of delirious senselessness while in missionary style is so excitingly vile, I had to go to my therapist and tell her I was geniunely concerned that I found such forays, well, stimulating.

She confided in me that this is a growing concern in her practice as four of her long term clients who have gone from being fairly well-adjusted straight guys with families and now pleasing themselves either alone or with their wives with these ultimate and extreme forms of homoerotica on TV. One guy even had an extensive cage fighting video library that he keeps under lock and key for some inexplicable reason.

I told her it must be that he is a closet case. She agreed. She said that a lot of guys get turned on by sex and violence and while it is "normal" it is concerning to say the least.

I am on my third week of deprogramming work with her, and although I miss these very sexy guys very much messing with each other only to virtually hug and kiss... and pat each other on the ass (a true sign that it is merely an innocent sport), I am glad to report that I am safely back in the Vanilla Zone.

I've even cancelled my cable service since poker-by- night and cage-fighting-by-day was about as unhealthy as TV land has ever been for me. The only reason I got cable in the first place was to watch Green Acres and the Brady Bunch but even Nickelodeon is trashed out now. When was the last time they had a All in the Family marathon? Years.

Whew! So if you are any guy whatsoever, from totally straight to a real nancy, and find yourself with a ever- so-slight blood rush down there or a gorgingness that you can't pry away from your navel from this type of sport, there is help. See your therapist. Sex and violence is a clearly disgusting mix.

That these Christians are co-opting sex and violence don't surprise me, but I must say if they are wearing blingy crucifixes, it does chase the devil in me away.

I think Christian cage fighting is good so long as their shorts, t-shirts, and accessories are smothered in bible verses and Jesus suffering on the cross and stuff. It's just enough for me to be turned off and thank God (even though I am a relunctant atheist).

Let them beat the holy crap out of each other. I ain't watching it.

Thanks for the information..It was very helpful!
