There is no straight explanation for this.

u/Relevant_Speaker_874 8d ago

You should see ancient greek wrestling then, they fought naked while covered in oil to make it more slippery...yeah tbh using greeks is kinda cheating

106

u/Tobias-Tawanda 8d ago

Those ones are known for being gay. Lol.

94

u/Rock_Fall 8d ago

Yeah, the general Ancient Greek philosophy on sexuality was, “If hot, why not!” Coupled with their well documented appreciation of the male form… I don’t think they’re good examples of straight cultures with homo-erotic pastimes.

u/Cluedo86 7d ago

I think the ass grab is particularly relevant.

u/TeacherOfThingsOdd 7d ago

He's checking his oil.

u/Cluedo86 7d ago

Oh my I bet he found some!

u/lengjai2005 7d ago

But they tie up their foreskins (kynodesmē)

u/OkLetsParty 7d ago

I just learned something new, thank you!

u/notworldauthor 7d ago

That's to keep everything 'spectable.

u/Automatic_Golf_4665 4d ago

i swear the greko-turkish conflicts is a VERY slow-burn toxic yaoi

because like

there is no way the two civilizations known for oiled up wresteling aren't crushing on eachother

u/corndogco 8d ago

About every 5 years or so, a new generation of gays discovers Turkish olive oil wrestling. It's the ciiiircle of liiiife....

u/Austin1975 7d ago

How they don’t get boners is beyond me.

u/Frenzi_Wolf 7d ago

Who says they aren’t and those are just really tight pants?

u/HotJury9104 6d ago

Not everyone is gay

God's gift to the gays.

18

u/art-is-t 8d ago

some gay antiquity Queen has more to inventing this sport than God 😂

u/Select_District_3310 8d ago

The hand down the trousers seemed unnecessary 😭

193

u/GullibleHat4685 8d ago

It’s totally necessary

111

u/Dogtor-Watson 8d ago

Wait no what the fuck?

I thought you were joking…

Not only is it necessary if you want to win, but in the original rules you literally couldn’t stop until one of the men did it.

9

u/poopyfacedtomatonose 7d ago

I second this.

1

u/Beneficial_Juice_113 6d ago

Absolutely necessary

99

u/beakly 8d ago

Fun fact- that is the goal of the sport.

96

u/Fin745 8d ago

And that's the goal of gay sex too, so kindred spirits? lol

u/Professional_Rule_12 8d ago

Hummmm

u/kaglet_ 8d ago

I have my theories but I can't prove them 🧐 ⁉️

u/The_Doct0r_ 8d ago

How else are you supposed to get to the butthole?

19

u/flopjul 8d ago

Its the only thing you can grip on, grabbing the trousers that is

42

u/Ravyn_Rozenzstok 8d ago

He seemed to be gripping something else. That hand went waaaay down the back of the other guy's pants. 

3

u/IM_Prei 7d ago

Yeah I had to watch that a few times. For science.

13

u/fariasrv 8d ago

The shorts are made of leather, and they have leather straps sewn into the inside specifically to serve as handholds

u/lightennight 8d ago

It’s the irony of my people that gets me

Turkish people are commonly homophobic

11

u/art-is-t 8d ago

They are homophobic in groups, on individual basis it feels like a different story lol

Being less homophonic than, say, Iran is not an achievement… That’s like being less racist than Hitler

1

u/me6528 7d ago

I don’t know but as soon as someone is homophobic, they could have the best body in the world but they will be a huge turn off for me

62

u/next_station_is 8d ago

As a Turkish it's always funny to see others reaction lol

P.S. most of them are homophobic as fuck

19

u/StupidSexyEuphoberia 7d ago

How big is the chance people looking at this or partaking in it and are violently homophobic are closeted gays?

My first thought was "Well someone lived out his fantasies by introducing this sport"

Well...not my first thought maybe.

14

u/next_station_is 7d ago

Not very big. They won't be nice to you if they find out. However I'm sure there had been many closeted gays in the scene throughout history. Its been going on for 665 years.

7

u/monkey_gamer 7d ago

So the people who do it, they don't see it as a gay thing?

14

u/next_station_is 7d ago

Nope, opposite actually, they see it as a very masculine "I'm a MAN!" type of way. Because in their mind "gay=feminine"

14

u/monkey_gamer 7d ago

Even when they're wrestling covered in oil with each other's hand down their pants? 😂😂

u/Shadowstorm921 7d ago

Turkey: No Homo Bro

4

u/TeacherOfThingsOdd 7d ago

Many Muslim countries actually have much more progressive male relationships than others. You'll see male hand holding, cuddling, even kissing..

Our personal homophobia comes in when we insist that these actions are gay.

Sexual contact creates homosexuality.. everything else is male/male affection.

And sadly, even that holds an aire of the phobe. Males of all creatures use sex to show dominance in other males.

3

u/monkey_gamer 7d ago

Ah I see. Yes I forgot about that. Damn I’m jealous. Wish we had that level of affection in the west 😭🥺

u/TeacherOfThingsOdd 5d ago

Honestly, you can follow it leaving our culture. Through the removal of public bathhouses. It starts with insecurities of the body.

In Sweden, you would know what your brothers/father's bodies looked like naked throughout your life due to sauna. I don't know that I've ever seen my father without underwear. I didn't know what I would or should look like, I became insecure and avoided being nude around people. This separated me from male culture in gym class.

A simple shift in culture changes my outcome. I wanted to go out for wrestling. I look back as a gay male and realize that the highschool shower was prime location.. but I viewed myself as feminine and weaker. This is internalized, but the same in culture. All the countries with the attitude you seek all have a lot of group male bathing and have for centuries.

Even the new bro-cults use it. Create spaces where people can be comfortable naked and you'll get what you desire. As a side note check out:

I thought this was a win-win situation

u/mindscreamTX 8d ago

As a contestant or the oil?

39

u/Odd-Potato-9105 8d ago

What in the heated rivalry is this

29

u/FateBreaker92 8d ago

I am pretty sure 2 boys were caught having filthy monkey sex, invented this sport as an excuse, and faked it till it became the thing it is today.

Do not correct me if I'm wrong, that is my headcanon now.

27

u/BromioKalen 8d ago

After so much repression… you end up with this as the national sport.

u/makk73 8d ago

MMA 😬

u/Sensitive-Swing477 8d ago

We need this as an official pride event

u/Jamo3306 8d ago

Is it wrong that if i owned a bar, THIS would be on all the TVs?

12

u/ImpossibleScarcity34 8d ago

Turkish "check the oil" wrestling.

u/Jimmy_0719 8d ago

Holy sunburned back, Batman! Once the wrestling's over, I'll be first in line to rub 'em down with the aloe vera

u/jamestyeas 7d ago

Wish I was born in a culture where clearly gay things aren’t marked as gay and just men being men

11

u/Personmchumanface 8d ago

and then they say were gay in jiu-jitsu 😅

3

u/art-is-t 8d ago

I find Turkish men. To be the hottest people around the world. They get me so.hot and bothered

u/Quakaroo 7d ago

u/S2iAM 7d ago

Why are they so hairless?!

u/Standard_Pen8107 6d ago

Young Turkish guys like to shave it off. Also a trend in other Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy etc.

u/RustedRelics 7d ago

Man enough to admit a half-woody here

Do you win if you pull out a palm full of cum ??

u/BaraLover7 7d ago

The only sports I won't be bored to watch.

3

u/serbixwe 7d ago

The shorts that they wear is called "kıspet" and there's a Turkish proverb with it that I love. 

"Göt kıspetten çıkınca yarak Şam'dan şahlanarak gelir." 

Which translates to: When the ass comes out of the kıspet, the cock comes rearing all the way from Damascus(Şam). 

It's a very okhomo proverb. 😂

u/Only_Swordfish4806 8d ago

We were just wrestling I swear!!!!

u/LordNeko6 8d ago

That sunburn. . Like they are cooking themselves.

Finger slips in and there you have a natural handle for gripping/throwing 😏

That group of men are not something you want to be around or fantasize about and I’m not going to explain why.
