Last night at indoor football I was asked by a fellow player what the hell was I doing wearing Skins when it was so damned hot? Well, I said, it was probably because they feel so damned sexy! He looked at me like I had just declared my homosexuality in a locker room full of naked men, which is funny, because I was in a locker room full of naked men! (But, I might add, I am most definitely NOT gay - not there is anything wrong with that - sorry boys!) The compression tights available for all sporting endeavours are sold on the premise that they reduce muscle wobble in exercise, reduce micro-bleeding in and around muscle fibres, thus lessening the likelihood of soft-tissue injury, but the main reason why I wear them is three-fold: 1. As I am getting older I am looking for any kind of advantage in preventing soreness and injury. 2. They look fucking sexy. 3. They feel fucking sexy.
So there.
