For this week’s Sports Stud, I decided to highlight 23 year old (24 in July) Welsh footballer/soccer player, Gareth Bale. Aside from the fact that I find soccer players to be super hot (legs!!), I was inspired to choose a soccer/football player because I myself and some of my friends are starting up a new season this week and I’m pretty excited.

At the moment, Bale plays for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Wales national team as a winger. He’s been a stand-out player over the last few years and has really contributed to the Tottenham’s success domestically and in the Champions League. He lives in London with his high school sweetheart Emma and the two have a daughter together that was born this past October.

Check out his photos below. He’s got beautiful eyes, a great body, and those sexy signature soccer player legs that I love. Enjoy!

Along with Travis Hanson and Noah Mills, Marlon Teixeira is up there as one of my favorite current male models. In fact, I chose to feature him in my Man Crush series instead of Model Behavior, because I want me some of that. The hair, the body, the slightly haven’t showered in a couple of days look really works for me. It’s that type of sex appeal the Brazilian stud brings for his latest editorial.

Photographed by Lope Navo, Marlon lands on the cover of L’Officiel Hommes Korea. Set on the beaches of Ipanema, Teixeira brings the hottest trend this season- denim- to the forefront. Rio, surfing and denim… seems like a natural fit, right? When on Marlon the answer is a definitive “yes.” Check him walking, rolling, and just plain looking sexy in wet denim on the beautiful sandy beach. Enjoy.

Who knew daytime was where all the action was at? I certainly didn’t. It’s getting gayer by the day, especially Days of Our Lives. First, they have daytime, if not television’s, hottest gay couple doing the nasty and showering together. Now, the male cast is channeling Channing Tatum and the other Magic Mike guys. No wonder DOOL won a GLAAD Media Award recently.

Eric Martsolf (far left), Shawn Christian (far right) and Galen Gering (second from right) strip in solidarity for my former Man Crush Nathan Owens (second from left). Apparently, Owen’s character moonlights as a male exotic dancer to pay off debt he incurred during medical school. Now that’s friendship. Bros that strip together, stay together ;) To ensure the quartet had the moves, a professional was brought in to improve their thrusting skills.

“Our choreographer was one of those Thunder From Down Under types who had absolutely no shame,” Gering says. “At one point he had us rehearsing this dance where I was going, ‘Whoa! I don’t know about this. It looks like Rafe is [doing something sexual to] Daniel!’ The choreographer said, ‘No, no, it doesn’t look that way at all!’ But then I look over at the other guys and they’re all going, “Uh, yeah it does.” So we had to change that part but, otherwise, it all turned out great.”

I’ve embedded the entire episode below with all the best parts noted, plus a behind the scenes look. In addition, I have Nathan Owens doing a solo in tight shiny booty shorts. God bless daytime soaps. Check them all out below.

Before playing Starling City’s most-wanted vigilante on The CW’s Arrow, Stephen Amell rocked that hot body of his on HBO’s Hung. There, the 31-year-old portrayed Jason- a younger male prostitute in competition with Thomas Jane’s hooker character. I know who I’d pick. I’m sure you’d be tempted as well to lay down some serious cash for one magical night with Stephen ;)

Obviously, the role required Amell to film plenty of scenes shirtless and often times only sporting a cock sock or as he puts it a pouch. In fact, he told Jay Leno during an interview on The Tonight Show, he would’ve rather walked around naked than wearing the ridiculous pouch. Amen to that Stephen. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Sadly, the show was canceled after three seasons. Reportedly, the fourth season planned for Amell to have some man on man action. Damn you HBO. Watch the Arrow star’s interview with Leno below and just in case you never watched Hung, I’ve embedded a clip highlighting all his best *cough* shirtless *cough* scenes. Enjoy.

Our Sports Stud post on English professional rugby player Stuart Reardon is one of more popular athletic features ever. Have you seen the number of pins? Clearly, you love the inked jock. How could I not share these Navy Diver promotional pictures with you. That would just be cruel. The Australian men’s swimwear and underwear brand tapped him to show off their fun and fashionable designs. Check out how their product keep his “anchor” at “bay.”

Ask and you shall receive. When I shared a fashion spread featuring Arran Sly, one of our readers suggested I highlight the British model in an upcoming Model Behavior post. Here it is. I’m glad I listened because Sly is way cuter than he appears in that editorial. It definitely didn’t do him justice.

Arran was born in 1993 in the UK. The blue-green eyed stunner was scouted by Elite Models in 2012. Since then, he’s landed major gigs including ad campaigns for Calvin Klein with Matthew Terry and Armani Exchange. His editorial credits include features in Tetu, Attitude, Style and Vogue Hommes Japan to name a few. Sly has walked for Louis Vuitton, Z Zenga and many more. It’s no wonder he’s ranked in the Top 50 on models.com. With the buzz building around Arran, I foresee a long lucrative career in his future. Check out plenty of photos of him below.

The first images of Thom Evans as the new face body for D. Hedral surfaced a couple of months. The second batch featuring the 28-year-old former rugby player have been released. Set in a similar desert-like environment, the Scottish stud looks even better with his hair pushed back. God, I sound like Regina George(Rachel McAdams) in Mean Girls.

Can you believe 90210 star Jessica Lowndes gets to have her way with him anytime she wants. The two debuted their brand new relationship at the first weekend of the 2013 Coachella Music Festival. Lucky beyotch. Check out Evans showing off D. Hedral’s seamless underwear below.

The first part of Gregg Homme’s new promo video ended with a cliffhanger. It showed model Philip Fusco receiving a booty call text in the wee hours of the morning. He quickly tidies his apartment and takes a shower to freshen up. And by freshen, I hope it included a certain place ;) Part 1 of One Night Stand ends with him stepping out of the shower.

The underwear company just released the second part. All nice and clean, Fusco opens his underwear drawer to pick the perfect Gregg Homme brief. Obviously, he tries on a couple to find just the right one to entice his late night gentleman caller. The doorbell then rings and… uh oh. Just like Reese Witherspoon, Fusco has a run-in with the law. Watch Part 2 below and find out how the fantasy continues. Hint. It’s a “happy ending.”
