A curious sight

Today I saw a man with several naked women tattooed on his belly. (He had a big belly.) He even had two women having sex with each other on there. On his fat, sunburned belly. What's the deal with that? I mean, I don't even get it. Would these tattoos be comparable to porn in that by looking at them he would be turned on? But I mean, it's his own body. Naked female bodies on his male body.

It's just sort of interesting. Assuming that this guy is heterosexual, the tattoos would be an inscription of his sexual desire on his self. His heterosexuality becomes part of his appearance, and he quite literally makes a billboard of his body that skips right past the regular personal ad stuff like "DWM seeking attractive SWF" and gets straight to "I'm looking for some hot naked women who may or may not have sex with one other." Or maybe he's saving money on dirty magazine subscriptions. I mean, this way he has his own personal stash with him at all times. But who in the hell would want to have sex with a person who has sex emblazoned on himself? Literally. There's just something to be said for discreteness, no?

Again, that assumes heterosexuality. Maybe he was a gay man using his body as a medium for expressing solidarity with lesbian women.

One never knows.
