Just when I thought I had found ‘em all, I found another. Since 2006, Britain’s SHU Rugby Team release a hot annual naked calendar and this year was no exception. In addition to the 2011 Calendar, you can purchase an uncensored behind the scenes look on DVD of their photoshoot, which needless to say is totally worth it. These guys are not shy.
Whatever it is about British straight guys that make them so comfortable with their sexuality and naked bodies – I like it. I once watched a documentary about the trend for straight guys to make out with their guy friends, kissing hello and goodbye. Interestingly enough, Eric Anderson, a sociology lecturer at Bath University, researched this very topic: “I started going through my students’ Facebook profiles, with their permission, and was inundated with hundreds of photos of men kissing on their nights out,” he told Guardian.
He found that 89% of the polled men were cool with kissing another guy on the lips and almost 40% had engaged in “sustained kissing, initially for shock value, but now just for ‘a laugh’.” He adds that he grew up in U.S., and these findings reflect the changing view toward homophobia on college campuses. Awesome!

You can purchase the calendar and/or DVD here.

LOL. Guess that this is new to the gay guys that don’t play rugby.
This is not just a British thing Patrick. When you play rugby you’re a pack of 15 guys battling another set of 15 guys and you act as one. You pile up, grab, hold, smell guys in all positions. Nothing erotic intentioned. For me, now playing in the ‘straight’ team, after played for a gay team for 4 years, this is what true brotherhood is. You play hard, get sweaty, hump and grind in the mud. It’s only logic that you have no shame about your own body or that of your teammates. And it’s funny: I’ve seen more willies on a one weekend rugby tour with the straight guys, then in 4 years of gay rugby. I guess guys just need the primordial ‘pack’ we’ve lost in todays society
