The Internet is full of little gems to get you through the day. Today we feature Lycraman. He is a gay man who likes the “freedom of wearing tight-fitting Lycra or Spandex clothing when out in nature.”

Cheers to Lycraman for knowing what he likes. I would like to thank 91X out of San Diego for tipping me off on this one. Also, even though the awkwardness of the photos made me chuckle out loud, I don’t think I will be venturing back into the world of Lyrcraman any time soon.

Warning: this is a site aimed at gay men, so you might want to tread cautiously in the Spandex sea.
