Spornosexual is a recent term, derived from the combination of the English words "sport", whose equivalent in our language is "sport" and "porn" which means "porn". The new word spornosexual is used to describe that commonly young person who is physically fit, generally has tattoos and piercings, who is satisfied to show themselves with little clothing in public in order to show their body to the rest of the people.
A spornosexual is attributed to an athletic individual, who spends most of his time in a gym and shopping malls showing off his body, such as his toned abs, back, legs, etc. and also publishes personal photos at all times on their social media profiles.
Around 20 years ago, the British journalist, writer, businessman and radio host, Mark Simpson specializing in popular culture, media, and masculinity, was the one who coined the term "metrosexual" in an article for The Independent in 1994, to refer to those heterosexual men who care about their physical appearance and characterized by a lifestyle that shows stereotypically related attributes to homosexuals.
But today a new label for 21st century men has emerged, coined by the same character in the Daily Telegraph, which is spornosexual, which many associate with extreme metrosexualism, heavily obsessed with sex and the body.
A clear example of Spornosexuals can be seen in the reality shows that they present on television today, such as the English series “ Geordie Shore” and “The Only Way Is Essex”; or on the other hand, spornosexualism is usually associated with the famous figures of soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, as stated by the British newspaper Daily Telegraph.
