6 Pop Culture Icons Nobody Admits They Were Attracted To

As a child of pop culture, it should come as no little surprise that most of my psyche was formed by various cartoon and film studios and is tragically underequipped to manage real life, even to this day, which is why you can only find me on the Internet, as I tend to shun the sun like some kind of eyeless deep-cave newt.

While you can easily rely on film to teach you how to deal with everyday situations like terrorism, dinosaurs and hangovers, the sad truth is that the formation of one's sexual identity is probably something best not placed in the hands of Bruce Willis or National Lampoon. I mean, I think.

As it happens, my sexual awakening was a slow, shameful thing spurred by a handful of pop culture icons that, for one reason or another, stirred something vaguely confusing deep inside me, and will now be used to stir something vaguely off-putting in all of you.

ONTD, who are your pop culture/fictional crushes?

I liked Scott and lanky Ryan Gosling.

baglady25 1st-Aug-2012 06:17 am (UTC)
Dude on the far left was so hot. And LOL this is the first thing I think of when someone mentions Ryan Gosling
tori100186 1st-Aug-2012 03:20 pm (UTC)
We had the same taste because I loved them both too.
ty_slilreject 1st-Aug-2012 05:11 am (UTC)
chantonii 1st-Aug-2012 05:18 am (UTC)
Yes!
wauwy 1st-Aug-2012 05:12 am (UTC)
okay where are the SHAMEFUL ones tho? Non-humans?

I liked Lion-O when he got older and sexified up.



And oddly enough, MUMM-RA THE EVERLIVING



And ofc...



If Optimus Prime was God/Jesus, my five-year-old self would have gladly become a nun and married his sexy stalwart robotic ass.
redaodai 1st-Aug-2012 05:12 am (UTC)
I always saw Mel Gibson when I looked at Lion-O. The hair.
alice_adore 1st-Aug-2012 05:40 am (UTC)
My shameful one? Rumplestiltskin from Once Upon a Time. Something to do with his mannerisms tbh cause he ain't attractive.

And when I was a kid Vladimir from this show with puppet monsters.
kapuki234 1st-Aug-2012 07:31 pm (UTC)
I just realized Optimus prime's crotch is a giant screw
cartooneyes 1st-Aug-2012 05:12 am (UTC)
I know it should have been on Jin but I couldn't help but want Mugen -.-

pabu 1st-Aug-2012 05:13 am (UTC)
hell, i still want mugen.
mmmdraco 1st-Aug-2012 05:14 am (UTC)
If we're doing anime... fucking Heero Yuy. I was in high school was that was released in the US, but not all that ashamed to say that I had a poster of him on the back of my door and rubbed his bulge for luck. It usually worked!
fauxparadiso 1st-Aug-2012 05:15 am (UTC)
That's okay because Jin/Fuu were my OTP.
brownxeyedxdork 1st-Aug-2012 05:19 am (UTC)
I think I liked him because of his voice. (Damn you Steve Blum)
hey_kayla_jay 1st-Aug-2012 06:41 am (UTC)
Dude, no. Jin was all well and good but Mugen was way more....interesting.
Plus Jin is all hung up on that married prostitute anyways. I'm sad this isn't on Netflix anymore.
ayaneva 1st-Aug-2012 05:12 am (UTC)
I thought Voltron was hot. I'm not entirely sure why but I had the biggest crush on that robot. lol

And also Tommy from Power Rangers. Everyone had a crush Tommy, I think. I was still crushing when he came back years later in Dino Thunder.

Stormer from Jem was probably the first TV character I had any kind of sexual feelings for. And Aja. I liked cute girls with blue hair. Tbh, still do.

icangoforthat 1st-Aug-2012 05:19 am (UTC)

And I can't be the only girl who developed a crush on Gomez Addams over this tango.



Heck, it gave me a crush on Morticia.
amfizzle 1st-Aug-2012 05:36 am (UTC)
I loved Gomez Addams! oh lawd this is my favorite post ever, never would I have remembered Gomez Addams!
aomushidrops 1st-Aug-2012 04:07 pm (UTC)
Every time I watch those movies(and I still do it on a regular basis!) I think to myself that I'd hit that SO hard.
shallowlove_x 1st-Aug-2012 05:13 am (UTC)

redaodai 1st-Aug-2012 05:14 am (UTC)
Omri circa Hocus Pocus and Eerie Indiana for all the awards.

hedgerowbustle 1st-Aug-2012 05:18 am (UTC)
Dude, Eerie Indiana was my show back in the day! I recently rewatched it on Netflix and it's still awesome.
mandramoddle 1st-Aug-2012 05:18 am (UTC)
This crush never went away for me, tbh. I still drool when I watch Hocus Pocus. Him and human Binx. <3
lovely_persona 1st-Aug-2012 05:26 am (UTC)
LOL Yusss @ Thackery Binx.
drunkagron 1st-Aug-2012 05:29 am (UTC)
He's still adorable <3
xtinkerbellax 1st-Aug-2012 05:32 am (UTC)
Human Binx was indeed hot.
squirrelsarerad 1st-Aug-2012 05:36 am (UTC)

redleigh86 1st-Aug-2012 05:36 am (UTC)
YES

omg young Omri. My little sister just didn't get it. She's a year young than me and just missed his moment. These last few years when it's gotten easier to find stuff online, I dled all of Eerie, Indiana and made her marathon it with me and she was like "ok, now I get why you were so obsessed with him when we were kids" lmao
jay_oats 1st-Aug-2012 05:45 am (UTC)
