A Bounty of Boners (NSFW)

A few weeks ago a friend of mine introduced me to the marvel that is awkwardboners.com and I promptly lost a good half hour of my life scrolling through their fantastic archives. Evidently this is a new website that has hitched its star to the ‘awkward [insert something here]‘ trend that developed in the wake of AwkwardFamilyPhotos, but I don’t care. It can be a copycat, it’s still hilarious.

The whole point is, well, obviously photos of guys with inconvenient and often embarrassing erections. And my 15-year-old self absolutely loves it. What happens is someone – usually a stranger – snaps a photo of some guy sporting some inappropriate wood and sends it in (with credit given to the amusing, boner-themed anonymous username of their choice). Then readers vote on said boner on a scale of awkward versus understandable.

Recently there’s been a spate of young, drunk guy photos/photos of guys who probably know their picture is being taken. Those aren’t very exciting to me. But the stealth photos – of nasty old men crammed into polyester pants riding the subway, inappropriate sports-boners, and the like – now those are a delightful way to perk up your work day.

Of course, nothing about this website is attractive, it is purely juvenile entertainment at others’ expense. But who cares? Men are so in love their their junk as it is, we may as well have a laugh. Hey, I added it to my Google Reader feed.

NSFW, obviously.
