This homoerotic workout routine is just too salty for words

Most of the time, working out is a horrible practice that we’d do just about anything to avoid. But sometimes, just sometimes, the wonderful world of fitness can bring more than pain and agony. Sometimes, it can provide us with the inspiration we need to hit the gym…or to do, you know, other things that have nothing to do with hitting the gym.

Case in point: a TikTok that’s been circulating on social media. Why? Because it offers a glimpse into a world where doing situps is swiftly rewarded with sweet, salty kisses from hot men.

The original video, which showed up the page @Hoscos.color earlier this month, features four hotties serving body-ody-ody while doing some kind of interlinked sit-ups. That’s really the best I can do at explaining what’s going on here—it just has to be seen to be believed.

Now I know that after seeing this, we’ve all got some questions. Who are these delicious hotties? Are they poly? Are they in a quadruple? Is that a thing? I don’t know. All I know is that these gym buddies (Brazilian model Igor Lucios, fitness influencer Mike Dilan, and adult entertainers Ajax and Derek Kage) are often seen across each others’ pages doing all manner of thigh work. And honestly, we’re here for it.

Whatever kind of stretch this is, for instance, we’re strongly considering adding it to our workout routine.

On Twitter, it didn’t take long for people to start comparing this homoerotic minyan to the OG gay friend group, Frodo and co. from Lord of the Rings.

It’s just a little wholesome fun between friends!

Honestly shocking that this video stayed as wholesome as it is.

Now we just have one question: why can’t the dudes in the middle kiss?

More as this situation develops!
