Is there any better day to talk about bellies? While some folks yearn to run their fingers along a perfectly chiseled six pack, that isn’t necessarily true for all of us! In fact, I’ve known guys who are downright terrified of six packs, calling them “freakish” and “unnatural”.
But we’re not here to talk about those guys. Let’s address the idea of bellies! Do you think it’s cute when a guy has a little bit of a tummy? Please take into account that the picture above is a somewhat extreme example. This question isn’t exclusively limited to chubs, cubs, bears or men of a heavyset variety. Even men with lean or muscular builds can have a small tummy!
So what do you think–are bellies kind of hot? And if your answer is “no”, would you consider it a dealbreaker if your potential partner had a bit of extra cushioning?

yuck
No, never.
waughhhhhhhhhhhhh
I wouldn’t go for a guy with the type of belly in the picture posted, but I have hooked-up with a few guys that were not built like greek gods. I myself am one of those muscular guys with a little bit of a tummy. The guy in the pic above looks to be unhealthy and that much stomach is just to much to negotiate while having sex. But more power to the guys who go for that.
Not no way, not no how. To me, a big pot belly is nothing but a sign of Laziness and Gluttony. Neither trait I find even the least bit attractive.
But, if you’re talking about average builds. I think a small beer gut on an otherwise skinny guy is quite hot. It’s the little imperfections that make a person attractive sometimes. 🙂
A little bit of a belly is fine. But huge bellies or guys who are gainers are a no-go. It’s hard to maneuver around all of that, and the gainer bellies look kinda gross.
a belly isn’t hot to me, but a small belly is not a deal-breaker. Its when a belly is just one symptom of general over-weightness (including moobs, a total deal breaker) that it becomes a problem.
Deal-breaker.
Deal-breaker.
Deal-breaker.
Deal breaker for me too. A “VERY” little belly is OK, but my interest in a guy is inversely proportional to the amount of flab that he’s carrying. On the other hand, my interest in a guy is directly proportional to an athletic or muscular physique. Not muscle bound, mind you, just nicely well-built and chiseled. Yum!! You know I was still kind of thinking that Michael Fitt was one of the most nicely built guys I’d seen on here until Courtney Grant came along. That changed my mind in a quick flash of a second. I kid you not, $5000 dollars an hour would not get me into the sack with the guy pictured.
Well this particular example is not so hot. 6packs are pretty to look at on hot guys in movies and pictures, but in real life, few of us really look like that. I like guys who aren’t obsessed with either eating or going to the gym. All things in moderation makes for a sexier guy.
maybe it could be more useful if there were different belly types and folks could vote on…. as someone with a belly (nowhere near that one) I have to say that I am not too picky when it comes to weight, but more interested in body proportions…
on that theguysite, there is a “model” called Chance, who is definitely chubby, even has some moobage, but I find him totally hot, because he is proportionate (including his cock)… been with guys that look like that, total turn on…

Well Geez all these comments are depressing me to no end -__- I have a bit of a belly but i’m not morbidly obese or ridiculously unhealthy, and so far I havn’t had any complaints from my sexual partners, on the contrary almost every one of them has come back for more. To you guys who say it’s a definite deal-breaker, you don’t know what you’re missing 😉
I’m also way smaller than Chance, btw….
chance is “chubby”?
jeez..
..i don’t think i would have rendered the same evaluation. . . . .
Being a nurse, I can tell you the guy in the picture has a typical “heart -attack physique”. Even if I could get past the general physique, I’d worry that sex might push him over the edge. A corpse in your bed is a definite deal breaker.
Happy Thanksgiving to the typically shallow narrow minded gay men that frequent this board.
At the counterpoint, I find guys who do anything to stay skinny like all the “mags” say is hot repulsive. For me, an average guy at the healthy point between the two extremes is perfect.
I also agree with the guy who said muscles are nice to look at, but not all that relevant in the real world.
And go screw yourself too!!
it depends on the belly itself, and the overall physique of the guy who bears one.
for me, i usually prefer them on guys who, otherwise, are muscular in build — “bodybuilder” muscular, i mean.
(muscle bellies are always nice, as a matter of fact.)
for small- and average-framed fellows, i can tolerate a very small-sized bump.
i don’t like anything excessive (as exampled above): no “gainers” for me!
just so long as the fat doesn’t get in the way of trying various positions… >.>
Okay I know you said the picture was an extreme example but could you not have tried to start an issue with going the most obscure. That is like saying do you think it is okay to airbrush a model on the cover of a magazine and then instead of showing the atypical example showing one where the model look alien because it has been over done.
As far as the question, I like a little belly on a guy. The cubs and even average build guys that have that soft middle but to not hanging over the jeans is nice. It means I don’t have to stand there with my sucked in so tight I cant breath – lol. But it is one of those things – like so many issue – that is varies on the guy, body type, and other features. Examples not everyone looks hot with certain facial hair, hair color(us “gingers” are hot btw), amounts of body hair, and skin tone even.
I dont mind a little belly, its normal and more natural then these exercise fixated, ab-obesessed men you see online. But sloppy fat, I cant stand. Men who dont even try to get in better shape and worst of all still think they are hot!
I love guys who are in proportion.
I dont need six pack abs, or a 28/29 waist….but I’m not going over 38 waist either.
Super skinny is gross and super huge is even worse. Big guys tend to sweat more, breathe heavier, and smell bad. I know it sounds terrible.
But seriously, if they don’t want models stick thin, they should make it that people arent massive either. It’s just unhealthy and downright unappealing.
whats a tummy if u are speaking roundish no prob overall aspect can overcome a single aspect but when u are speaking obese ….
DEAL BREAKER
I ussed to have a chubby body and had to work hard and sweat a lot in other to become lean,
I think he is chubby, stocky, wide, whatever u wanna call it… and I did not mean it in a negative way at all… he is definitely not slim or skinny in my view….
not sure where you live, Saint, but in the US people seem to call obese people overweight, morbidly obese obese, and average people skinny… put Chance next to your typical English lad and he’d definitely be chubby… again, I think he’s hot, so it is not a negative comment, but a description…
wow- can you say harsh? i guess the old adage really is true if going by the comments in here:
“A 36 inch waist on a ballerina is a problem; a 36 inch waist on a gay man is a disaster”.
Wow, I had a never with you didn’t I? So you are a typically shallow narrow minded gay man? Congrats! Asswipe.
LOL. I am laying on my bed and not paying attention. What I meant was I HIT a NERVE….
Still you are an asswipe for attacking me when I didn’t say anything personal about you.
LOL. I’m laying in bed laughing at this! I have to agree! Sheesh! I am SO screwed if no belly is allowed at all! No wonder it has been four years since my last relationship! No one wants a belly (even tho I only weigh 146 lbs and am 5 ft 7 in).
I love a bit of a belly to feel up and rub, but not to the extent in the blog picture.
Bellies definitely aren’t a dealbreaker for me. However, a couple guys I’ve been with had bellies so large, that all that blubber obscured their otherwise large cocks. Having to constantly “dig out” their dicks was a definite turn-off.
I like how the heavy guys call themselves “bears” now. Nice way of saying one is fat and hairy. LOL
when did a 36waist become fat? I know for gay guys it is all about bones, but a 36waist is not fat on most guys. I am 6’3 and a 36waist. I dont have fat rolls nor do i have a six pack. My goodness. THis must be why i have been single for all this time. I have been too fat. Diet starts today.
all right.
that’s fair.
(and you’re probably right about the weight standards being different between the US and England.
i consider myself skinny, but i might just be average, elsewhere in the world.)
in the US, “chubby” usually has a negative connotation, which is why i had gave the response i did.
“stocky” is an okay descriptor, though — and i believe that might be more appropriate for chance.
at any rate, you like the guy, so obviously you meant no harm.
which is good enough for me, mate.
He better have a horse cock or you won’t get near it, and if your gonna fuck it, you better have a horse cock to get to the real stuff
I’m one of those guys who’s terrified of six-packs (or even 4-packs, really). I don’t mind bellies–they can be cute. I’m really into bears so I don’t really care size-wise. But a cute, slightly chubby guy is enough to win me over. I prefer guys that are more “natural” than artificial, and to me a six-pack just screams artificial. Definitely pass for me. At minimum I prefer my guys to have a 34-waist…LOL.
I think they’ve been calling themselves bears for a while
I don’t mind a belly. In fact, I love a belly, whether it’s a few comfortable pounds or maybe a little fuller. But I’m more for the guy under the belly. I’d rather fuck a guy with a nice round belly who is amazing then fuck a cut 6 pack who is shallow and stupid.
There are definitely limits as to how large a belly can be before it loses its appeal. The photo is one that is too large (for my tastes, at least), but my partner has a bit of a belly and I find it really hot. As someone else mentioned, as long as it’s proportionate it’s fine, but if it hangs over your belt and crushes my face when I’m going down on you, then I’m just instantly turned away.
I love guys with a bit of a belly, I’m one myself. But there are limitations, for me it’s perfectly fine to be with a chubby guy that practices sports and has it’s belly because he enjoys food as much as myself (better than dealing with someone obssessed with calories by far). But if he’s fat because he spents countless hours in front of the tv playing videogames, no thanks.
Hell no, this is not attractive on a man, young or old. LOL LOL
