Ryan Giggs

Ah, Giggsy. A Premiership footballer who has had a career for 21 years in UK football which I'm sure is some sort of a record. He started young and I do remember him when he was just 18 with a rug as thick and luxurious as a bear skin rug and a toned body to die for. Ah, it almost made me want to watch football.

Anyway, over the past two decades he has morphed from obscenely hairy scum hunk to obscenely hairy (but occassionally manscaped) scum daddy. I can't decide which I prefer but he definitely has more THROWDOWN as an older man. MMM-mm!

Simon Walton

A premier league footballer in England but better known to the gays as husband of ditzy, glamour model, celeb Big Brother contestant, Nicola T. (T standing for Tits presumably, hers are ridiculously large for such a sknny girl).

Anyhoo, Mr Walton showed up on Big Brother and immediately set off my throwdown-ometer. So hottt (three ts). He also showed up in Nicola T's place for a night of the Come Dine with Me WAG special and proved himself to be a lovely, shy and humble young man, the sort of man you could take home to your mum and be proud. Despite this trait I couldn't help imagining his cum face and all those locker room roasting sessions.

Phew, cold shower now.

Jay Harington

Jay is the star of new US sitcom Better of Ted. The show itself is strictly "meh" but Mr Harrington's awesome hotness is actually making me watch each episode. He's just so darn purty, like Clooney back in the day.
Unfortunately those damn Hollywood wax fanatics have stripped his chest bare. You just know that this guy is naturally hairy, I'm not talking Tom Selleck but he is bound to have a bit of a rug. But the only pics I could find his chest is as smooth as Chaz DeBono's. Which is disappointing, to say the least.

Josep Guardiola

He's the manager of the Barcelona Football team - I think.

Anyway, he's straight, has a couple of kids blah blah blah but how hot does he look, eh?

I wish football managers swapped shirts at the end too - well as long as Jose Mourinho's team and Barcelona played every week. 

I propose we start lobbying for this change in FIFA's rules. 

Oh and boo! to this guy - he has waxed his chest since that last pic (taken many years ago). Hate it when hot hairy guys go and wax it all off. I blame the chicks. They ruin everything.  

Tahar Rahim

This French- Arabic hottie is the star of new film Un Prophete - a hard as nails prison drama, depicting the rise to power of a mild mannered but directionless 19 year old in the gritty French underworld. There are a few scenes where he is shirtless and / or naked but goddammit! no screen grabs online yet!

In the film he does have that nasty, violent, chav look (which is, of course, very alluring) but out of character he is a deeply handsome man. He's tipped for big things in Hollywood (which probably means playing villains in a number of dumbass Hollywood action movies like every other French actor who 'made it big') and he definitely has that 'seed of nasty' which gives him massive throwdown.

Maybe its that turn in his eye which gives him the look but you just know he would be a very dirty boy in bed...

Tom Ford

The attraction here is only partly sexual... well, the majority of it is sexual I guess.

But also you gotta love this guy for his outstanding style, creative power and iconic standing in the fashion world. The man who singlehandedly put Gucci back on the fashion map and launched his own international label is now a film director with his debut move "A Single Man" about to launch in the UK. The film is hotly tipped to be an Oscar winner and even though I have only seen stills from the movie they honestly convey such a sense of style in every shot. And the film stars Julianne Moore, who is one of my Ultimate Fantasy Hags. I can't fucking wait.

Anyway, back to the hotness - he is smouldering, very overtly sexual and amazingly stylish. He doesn't shy away from making sex more than just implicit in his advertising and the entire stink of sweaty sex is all around him at all times! God, I gotta go take a cold shower...

OK so he's maybe had a little work done... I mean, the eyework is not altogether good and the forehead is a little too unwrinkled for a man of his age but like I say; his all over hottness overwhelms the merely physical.

And you gotta love the pics of his cute little ass in the shower with those two models.

Chris Diamantopolous

Ooh pretty!

First saw this hottie in the tame and boring Debra Messing (aka Grace from Will and Grace) vehicle The Starter Wife, where she played a scatter-brained, bitter singleton (ie Grace) and Chris Diamantopolous played her gay best friend (ie Will). Anyway, the show was a flop and so was this guy, floppy hair, simpering non-threatening castrato gay that he was in the show...

However, 24 Day Eight premiered in the Uk this week and woah, hold up! Who is this amazing piece of dirty hottness? It's Chris Diamantopulous... mmmmm. Somebody has been on the money diet! And got a personal trainer and a good haircut and looks really smoking hott.

He is the only thing which makes 24 watchable right now. Even though Starbuck's shoulders are wider than his he just about beats her in the Alpha Male category. Everytime he pops up on screen I am hypnotized by the hottness! If there isn't a sauna scene this series I will be very disappointed.

Anyway, he's married / dating / boning Amanda from Ugly Betty so he's not gay in real life... but he is married to the best Hag on telly which is close enough.

Ethan Boroian

Ooh Pretty...

Ok, so I never said this would be slap-bang up to the date but now that X-Factor 2009 has bit the dust and Joe McElderry, the gammy toothed, soon-to-be-appearing in 'Joseph' (the musical not his 19 year old boyfriend, obviously, he's, like, so straight!) Geordie boy has walked away with the big prize, lets imagine what could have been.

Ethan Boroian is a 20 year old singer songwriter (he's on myspace - look him up he's not the worst in the world). Born in Illinois, USA but brought up in France from the age of two he developed his guitar playing skills and cute-as-all-hell good looks until he reached the apotheosis of his hotness when he auditioned for UK talent show, The X-Factor.

Despite being a pretty good singer, with a modicum of musical talent (beyond caterwauling like an octave leaping Boyzone exile) and being by far the hottest, sexiest looking man in the competition Cheryl Cole did not put him through. Yet, she did give a place to screechy, malnutritioned Vulcan-eyebrowed scot Ricky Loney. WTF Cheryl?

So, apart from robbing us of the opportunity of seeing Ethan on our screens every week she also robbed young Lloyd Daniels of the opportunity of his first gay relationship. Well, so the rumours went. Please note; those rumours were obviously started by some very dirty-minded gay men with wishful thinking syndrome. Still, makes you think don't it? Ahem...

Sean Lamont

Apparently he plays for a rugby team or something... anyway, who cares?

*Drools onto keyboard*

I first became aware of his work in the excellent and very artistic Dieux DuStade calendar which tastefully shows hot naked rugby players dicks (i.e in black and white).

Andy Cohen

Warm and hairy front coming in from the West!

Andy Cohen is head of programming for Bravo TV in the US of A. Bravo US BTW is totally different from Bravo UK. Bravo UK is the home of cheap documentaries about Boner Dykes and really horrible programs like Porn Week where pudgy Mancunians pay to go to America and shift about uncomfortably with minor erections while they watch porn stars go at it... Bravo TV America is the home of Project Runway (well, was the home anyway), Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Top Chef etc.

He is also - what for it - a homo! God! That makes me so happy! A successful, hot as fuck, creative powerhouse with a beautiful body and hot hot hairy chest. I think I'm in love.

Ben Cohen

Hot English Rugby star Ben Cohen is the leader of the pack in the rugger (wish he was a) bugger stakes.

He's proud to be a hairy man and has posed many times for the gay press (God Bless 'im!). He does a lot of work to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer and seems like an all round good guy.

As well as being amazingly hot he seems like the kinda guy who would throw you down, fuck you to within an inch of your life and then spoon you gently until morning. Awww....

Your turn

OK. So now its your turn.

Send me images or links to images of the men that you think are amazingly hot.

Once a month I'll publish the best on the site. They don't have to be famous, they could be of you, your husband, boyfriend or girlfriend's brother but please - make sure you have the permission of the person in the photo!!
Email your pics along with your name and I'll pic the hottest five at the end of each month.
Email them to hot.ticket1.0@gmail.com I'll need to verify that the pics are of you before I post them as I REALLY don't want to get sued!

Ok. Signing off for today.

Site will update at least once a week.

Guilty pleasure

Ok. Don't shout at me. I understand that this guy is not exactly going to set the world on fire with his hot looks but I have always had a soft spot - scrub that. I've always had a hard spot for Kevin Webster from Coronation Street.

I know he's not really handsome, (I mean, Jesus! Get those eyebags taken care of) but growing up as a repressed gay boy in rural Ireland Kevin Webster was the closest thing to eye candy I ever had. That and the Kay's Catalogue swimwear and underwear sections...

To this day I've harboured a secret lust for Kevin (played by Michael Le Vell), he looks pretty hot in his mechanics uniform, has an ample chest rug which spills forth over his cheap white supermarket t-shirts and has just enough scally in him to qualify him as hot. See subsection 2 - Scumhunks and scally dads.

Ray Dragon

Ok. So Ray Dragon is a gay porn star but damn is he hot!

Don't worry I'm not going to just feature a list of hot gay porn stars on this page - there are plenty of other websites for that but I think Mr Dragon (I doubt thats his real name - its probably Alvin Schwartzman or something) deserves special recognition for his service to the concept of 'throwdown'.

So, OK. Ray Dragon epitomises the concept of THROWDOWN. He's moderately attractive facially, yes he has a good body (a bit thick and maybe way too hairy for some tastes - not mine, obviously) but if you walked past him on the street you might only give him one appreciative glance before walking on.

But having seen his body of work (ahem) I can tell you this man has THROWDOWN! Even with his clothes on you can recognise a certain dirty glint in his eye - that 'seed of nasty' - you just know he would be a helluva good f**k. And believe me, having seen his videos - he knows what he is doing.

Ryan Reynolds

Yes, Mr Reynolds has been tickling my glands for a long time now. I think it was first seeing him prancing around naked in Van Wilder that first twigged with me that this guy had potential to go all-the-way hot.

And in Blade Trinity he proved me right. Thank God. That day I learned to trust my dirty instincts. Perhaps it was the beard, perhaps it was the muscles, perhaps it was him all bloodied and bruised and chained to the floor, greased up like an cheap 80s male stripper but damn that man grew some THROWDOWN.

Despite his recent withering appearance (his body seems to be reverting to that of teenage olympic swimmer) he still has that seed of nasty in him that makes Ryan Reynolds one of the hottest hollywood men out there.

For starters...

Hey,

Ok - so this blog is all about hot men. Yeah, thats right - its not original, so?

More particularly its about men I find really attractive. Now, some of them are the obvious contenders and some you might find completely average or even plain old bizarre. I'm not asking that you agree with my choices but hey! - hear me out alright?

I do love a man with a rug or a beard or both. But men who are completely smooth can be on some rare occassion be considered hot but they must always have that essential quality - throwdown! If a man does not have throwdown no matter hot good looking, well muscled or overtly sexual he might seem he just isn't sexy. He can be handsome but this blog is not about handsome men. Ity's about HOT men - HOT men with THROWDOWN.

So guidelines - this site should be safe for work - anything that is not will just be a link to a page with a warning above it. I will occassionally feature the odd naked man but no boners - I promise.
All images are probably copywrited out there somewhere - I don't own any of the images - I just post them up here to draw attention to the hottness. All images are in the public domain.

Thanks
