Zaddy

 

Bob was talking about Christopher Meloni and how he's the perfect Zaddy:

"Plus, he’s not a Chris, he’s a Christopher and something new to me, he’s a ‘zaddy,’ AKA "a really handsome guy who is very appealing and looks really fashionable. He has to have swag and sex appeal and look sexy and attractive."

And I realized that I had heard the term way back. I think it was in a song, but I've seen it online quite frequently. Even the NYT had an article about the raise of the Zaddy, if we're going to talk about it. When Bob associated it with Christopher Meloni it kind of clicked: that's the kind of man I like. Which is to say, a man who is secure enough in his sex appeal to not have to flaunt it, a man who has swag but is not boastful, a man who looks good but never primped. I can go on, but you get the idea.

It's the kind of man who makes you drip and you just know he knows how to handle things in and out of the bedroom. Josh Hamm, Jason Momoa, Tom Hardy and Idris Elba are my Zaddies-to-go because for me, a Zaddy needs to be a man of a certain age. Nobody under thirty is a Zaddy. Nobody. Trevante Rhodes almost didn't make the cut. Now, the body. The body has to be solid. Not too muscular. Just the right amount of heftiness. Wide shoulders and thunder thighs a plus. *fans self*

I am one of those men who like his men to be substantial. Both of body and of mind and I guess it's more noticeable in men over thirty. Not that age would give you gravitas, mind, you (I know plenty of men who are in their fifties and still act their shoe size) but I think that men who are too young are just not... seasoned enough? I cannot get over the need for youth to rule everybody and everything, desire included. 

And talking about porn, I decided to pull an Upton and do a DuckDuckGo search for Zaddy. You'll never know what I found:

This goes perfectly well with my idea of what a Zaddy is. Bring in the Zaddies! My body is ready.

XOXO

P.S. I'm sure there's a Venn diagram that has the Zaddy right between the Twunk and the Daddy. 

P.P.S: for those of you who like skin blogs, you need to follow MenOfOurDreams and Xersex, if you aren't already. The Mistress would, and her CandyStore would approve.
