» the oft complex relationship between gay men and beards.
But some still consider facial hair, and especially the mustache, to be “ironic.” “Very sadly, I think it’s [the] other things that accompany the mustache, whether that’s skinny jeans or what the mainstream deems hipster-ish, but I don’t know what constitutes an ironic mustache,” Perlut says. “There is no such thing as a bad mustache, only those who don’t own or operate a mustache.”
While beards and goatees seem to proliferate these days, mustaches seem to be the final style to be reappropriated by the gays and the culture at large, maybe in part due to the “porn ’stache” stigma started by Colt models of days gone by. But, as Perlut points out, the mustache is perhaps the most sexually dynamic of all facial hair styles. He says jokingly, “We’ve done studies that shows mustached Americans can experience an orgasm that lasts 27 minutes and the mustache adds attractiveness of 38%.”
No comment.
