I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it’s to tear out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Grindr hotspot.
“Sanctuary gyms for repressed gay men are booming”
Seriously. Who needs a jym when you have sexuality?
I’m not having gay sex? I’m hiding my penis safely inside this Christian man’s asshole so that women can’t get to it unless they are my wife.
What makes a man a man? That’s right, a penis. So, therefore, two penises are more manly than one penis.
That’s just maths and logic. And you can’t argue with maths and logic!!
“That and a pair of testicles…”
That’s the vibe I’m getting as well.
AI slop but I believe this is the one thing AI can get away with, at least in my books. But fuck AI.
Theyre gonna learn a lot about themselves
… with their socks on of course.
Gyms are becoming breeding grounds for white supremacists and the proud boys. Probably more about indoctrination than learning.
What’s funny is they complain about gender change hormones but shoot tons of testosterone in their thighs because they are too afraid to become feminine.
A gym is the only place a Christian ever tried to recruit me for his Bible study group.
famously none of them are gay
You know who else has men-only gyms? The Taliban!
I’m sure they display a big anatomically correct Jesus on a cross right over a bench press, all sweaty and ripped in a tiny loin cloth. His cum gutters all glittering in the light with a look of pain on his face that wouldn’t be out of place in an S&M club.
Seriously though, why does every gym have that one guy who only wears “Christ is King” tshirts and backpacks? My guy even leaves bibles out on top of his parked bicycle. I’m tempted to go in only wearing Satanic Temple shirts to openly mock him.
Does… Does this mean he’s been baptized?
Think of it more as a christening.
Christian dudes going to an all-male gym? Oh, you better believe they be lusting.
Aside from all the gay references here this is a real two edged sword. On one hand, get all these right wing misogynist asshats away from women in gyms. Otoh, this is just another recruiting ground and echo chamber for right wing redpill incel BS.
men aren’t even allowed to work out together without having their sexuality questioned. god forbid we actually become–gasp–friends with each other! and if that happens, it’s apparently only to concoct right-wing plots and figure out clever ways to harass women.
meanwhile, a women’s only space is supposedly heaven on earth, even though they’ll all be gossiping and backstabbing each other for no reason.
Ok. you blatantly disregarded the context of this post in order to make it some gender-war post about bros who just wanna be bros. That’s stupid.
The title is, just in case you can’t read:
Men-Only Gyms Trying To Protect Christian Men From Lust Get Brutally Ridiculed
So we are OBVIOUSLY not discussing workout buddies, or gym friendships, or even y’know, if gay dudes like going to the gym, which nobody is saying can’t happen. But you went and redpilled it as a war against men because women have spaces away from men exactly because of the kind of men in the article.
Can confirm.
I went to a dudebro gym. It was a fucking incel hive mind.
Half the encouragement was to “bang any bitch you want” and the other half was about reclaiming masculinity.
One guy kept talking about “fighting for our right for survival” like motherfucker, you’re a 6ft white dude. Chill.
If the gym doesn’t have a BLM/LGBT flag and a bunch of diversity, I don’t join.
What I don’t get is, the space addressing “censorship in media” is often ultra conservative. How on earth does that gooner crowd reconcile with spaces that are “Anti-sexuality”?
Won’t somebody think about the lusty christian men?
Dude I don’t care about anything, but seriously, working out in all-men gyms just boosts your workouts by so much. No distractions, no need to get shy, surrounded by pure testostrone, you can take your shirt off, go wild, gorilla monke mode.
Girls are too cute and sweet and I really don’t feel comfortable going ape shit in a mixed gym.
I will work out at men only gyms for the rest of my life.
Tell us how much you don’t respect women without telling us.
How does that have anything to do with respect to women?
I think on the contrary, one of the reasons I stated is that I don’t want to disrespect women with my behaviors when I’m filled with hormones and want to do insane stuff.
For saying they get nervous around working out around women?
That’s a wild reach.
You sound lame as fuck
Too bad

Okay that looks genuinely interesting
Okay that makes it even more funny
This man has two dicks in him
Lots of definitely not gay stuff is going to be happening there. Gay dudes with a thing for closeted guys are going to have a field day.
How are they gonna stop lust if they cram a bunch of good looking, sweaty dudes in the same building?
With the sheer power of Jesus, duh.
“Jesus is so hot. I want to feel his love fill me up. Come unto me, oh Lord!”
This is a dumb response to the issue but some people, both men and women, do show up to the gym in outfits that are viewed as inappropriate in a vast majority of other places. It’s not terribly difficult to keep your attention focused elsewhere but it is understandable that some want to be able to get in a work out without other people’s asses in their face on a constant basis.
I’m sure most of Lemmy will call that opinion prudish or something similar but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on stuff like that. It’s true that fashion is a personal choice but I don’t see why you would want to do things you know will make others uncomfortable either.
I agree it’s completely reasonable if some people would prefer sex segregated gyms. Women too of course.
Those new popular female gym shorts that look like they vacuum sealed their ass with a seam going deep into the buttcrack. I really do think that’s a bit much. “Just let women wear what they want” yes I agree. That’s why I built a home gym instead.
Sounds like you’ve been studying those shorts real hard…
>I don’t see why you would want to do things you know will make others uncomfortable eithe
Because then what I can do is an ever shrinking pocket of appeasing others - fuck that
That’s the contradiction.
I think it’s lightly disturbing that young gals feel they must dress like their on a porn filming.
But if someone tries to forbid them doing it, I’d be down with the rest of everyone striking and rioting (that’s how they do it where I live) because if they want they should be absolutely able to dress however they want (that includes men too ofc).
So I guess education could be a thing, like it’s not bad to jog in a tshirt and shorts, don’t need to play dress-up for your personal hobbies.
🤷🏻♀️
Hey if you dress like that, don’t mind me looking. You clearly like to show off and it works, it attracted my eyes. But I won’t stare or bother you.
It’s partly because I want to respect you and your boundaries, and how you look is not an invitation to bother you, but also because I’m looking for women (I actually am not, I have found someone already) who has more to offer than just good looks and doesn’t need to compensate shortcomings by showing off like that.
But don’t mind me looking at beautiful women showing off their body. Just not in a creepy or bothering way. But if you drive a sports car, especially when you chose the bright yellow option, it’s for a reason: Attentions and compensation and I’m not interested. There are also very comfortable (if not more comfortable) sports clothes that do not show off everything.
I tend to agree with you, but then I remember the convo I had with my mother-in-law about why trans people had to wear clothing that affirmed their gender when it made her uncomfortable…
WTF, I can’t even. I just avoid talking to her as much as possible at this point.
Different situations. She can’t force other people to dress differently to appease her, but if they make her uncomfortable (for whatever dumb reason) she’s allowed to avoid them.
But also different situations because sex drive is possibly the strongest biological drive that we have, so even if you’re not helpless against it your brain can be distracted in a way that it won’t get from gendered clothing.
I’m not religious or devoid of self control, or even interested in a relationship with a “gym girl”. But I would still wish the women at my gym chose to dress for function rather than to attract… whatever it is they want to attract. It gets tiresome.
I like working out with virtually no one there, glad I built a garage gym.
Giving your best bro a BJ will help protect him from sinful thoughts.
Brojobs to protect your purity.
There’s no Bible verse that says you can’t.
do people. really wear. those shirts ? that’s cringe as fcuk…
Yes. In public. Unironically.
Tribalism and feeling like being in the in-crowd is powerful stuff.
Right? Who even wants anybody to be king? It’s pathetic that their cosmology itself is a fucking monarchy.
What’s wrong with publicly worshiping another man?

Can you edit the post to the original link, OP?
Me looking lovingly (Brotherly) at my fellow Lifter In Christ (above the waistline) after signing the “I Swear I Am Not Gay and ONLY Like Women” Covenant.
As the next words out of his mouth are “now get down on your knees”
Eww, what a mess
So it’s the “A fascist worked out today, have you?” gym.
I mean, when I go to the gym I can’t give a fuck less about who is there. Crazy mofo that lives in the dumpster out back could be in there flipping tables….you do you, just don’t hog the equipment and rack your weights bro.
We’re training men! Hallellujah!
And when we had sex it wasn’t gay, it was a celebration of our masculinity!
They’ll have darkroom there. God can’t see inside a darkroom, can he?

We should congratulate them, it’s hard to be straight when you are that gay.
