Urban Beauty and Erotic Lovers: Exploring the Evolution of Male Aesthetics

In today's society, the concept of male beauty is undergoing a revolutionary change that not only subverts traditional concepts, but more importantly, consumes the very fathers who shaped and maintained them. In the process, we have witnessed the birth of a new image of masculinity, one that is no longer confined by the framework of the past, but is free to express itself and pursue beauty.

In 1994, Mark Simpson first coined the term 'metrosexual' to describe men who have become conscious of their appearance and lifestyle. No longer satisfied with the traditional image of masculinity, these men began to take care of their skin, hair, clothing, and overall aesthetic in order to gain admiration and inspire desire in both women and men. David Beckham became an exponent of this concept.

Over time, Simpson further developed the concept in 2003, coining the term 'spornosexual' to refer to men who spend a lot of time in the gym, molding their bodies through extreme dedication and protein enhancement. These men see their image as a brand and use it as their main asset to make a difference in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo became an icon of this new era.

Behind this revolution is the collapse of certainty about gender and sexuality. Simpson points out that for the younger generation, traditional notions of monogamy have been left behind. This change has been accelerated by the rise of social media, where everyone has become their own brand and displaying their bodies has become a way of attracting attention.

However, Simpson also offers the reflection that while this pursuit of male beauty brings freedom and diversity, it can also lead to excessive vanity and superficiality. He worries that we may be living in a superficial age where true beauty may be overlooked.

Despite this, Simpson staunchly defends the display of muscles on social media as a necessity for survival and an affirmation of self-worth. His perspective challenges traditional notions of gender and opens up new avenues for the future of male beauty.

In this revolution, we see a profound change in the relationship between men and their image. This is not only an external change, but also an exploration and confirmation of internal self-identity. As society progresses, we look forward to witnessing more diverse and inclusive expressions of male beauty.
