Matadors and Their INCREDIBLE Bulges

Matadors are traditional bullfighters that come from Spanish and Portuguese culture and can be seen in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Matadors have been honored as both artists and athletes. The matador form that we know today started out as a means for a poor man to gain wealth and honor, they literally fought to their death against a raging bull in Spanish culture. One of the earliest matador superstars was Spanish bullfighter Juan Belmonte who, in the early 1900s, was treated like a rockstar and introduced techniques that would change the face of bullfighting. Spain's first openly gay bullfighter came out earlier this year. Aye aye aye!

Whether you are a fan of bullfighting or not, you can't help but notice how tight a matador's outfit is. Literally, nothing is left to the imagination. Looking like the costume of a gay chorus boy, in addition to being extremely tight, the outfits are adorned with decorations and tassels, earning the name "traje de luces," meaning the "suit of lights." All eyes on those pants! This week, we are sharing the hottest of the hot matador bulges, courtesy of the Instagram account of photographer Quentin de Ladelune.

Though the matador presentation we know today established itself over the last couple of centuries, bullfighting is nothing new. Historians say bullfighting goes back to prehistoric times, going back to bull worship and sacrifice in Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean region. The first recorded bullfight may be the Epic of Gilgamesh, dating back to 1200 BC, which describes a scene in which Gilgamesh and Enkidu fought and killed the Bull of Heaven. Bullfighting was also instituted in ancient Rome and spread to Hispania as a substitute for gladiators in arena games. In medieval Spain, bullfighting was considered a noble sport and reserved for the rich, who could afford to supply and train their horses, and fought the bull with lances. Bullfighting on foot was introduced in Spain around 1726 and tended to draw more crowds as the odds were more even between bull and matador. It was Juan Belmonte who solidified bullfighting as we know it today, with the fanfare and artistic flair that comes with it.
