Sexiness has nothing to do with size. It is something that one exudes.
Sexiness begins in the mind.
When one believes they are sexy, they begin to exude sexiness, which helps others to see them in this same light.
While the rest of the world might be brainwashed into thinking that only skinny is sexy, Tom Gross begs to differ.
He likes his men large.
But he thinks that everyone is beautiful in their own way and wanted to “show the world a different kind of beauty” in the video for his latest song “Round In All The Right Place.”
While we’ve seen plus-size women like Ashley Graham, Tess Holliday, and Lizzo taking a stand for plus size people in mainstream media, Gross is placing plus-size men in the spotlight.
His new song is a doo-wop-like ballad that celebrates plus-size men.
The video for “Round In All The Right Places” shows these men worshipping their sexy scantily clad and naked beautiful bodies.
Goss told Huffington Post that he hopes his video will change people’s hearts and minds about how they feel about themselves and others.
“I want to change lives for the better,” Goss, 37, said. “I want [viewers] to see beauty in a different way.”
“I want them to consider beauty outside of the societal norms.”
Goss says he finds larger men “intoxicating” and has even made one his partner for life when they married 8 years ago.
“If the person watching the video is round, I want them to see themselves as beautiful,” Goss said.
“I want them to see what I see in them … how intoxicating their curves are to me. I want them to believe in themselves, and let their beauty shine out into the world more completely.”
And Goss does NOT care if he is portraying these men as objectified sex symbols. He says that’s the point.
“I wanted to glamorize the round men, objectify them, really highlight their beauty and magnetism, while sticking to my role as a storyteller,” he said.
With lyrics like “Those thighs they caught my eyes, they got that size carry me away,” and “That derriere, I can’t help but stare. It’s plump enough to share,” he definitely accomplishes his goal.
“I can think of plus-size comedians, villains, sidekicks, and foils, but not romantic leads. This needs to change. I’d like to do my part to change it,” Goss said.
“Round In All The Right Places” is the first single from Goss’ forthcoming album “Territories” which is expected to be released in early 2019.
He says this album will be his best work yet.
His previous album, “What Doesn’t Break” was released in 2016.
That album also had a groundbreaking hit that made waves.
It was a rendition of Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man.”
Goss’ reimagined version was about two gay teens, one who is the son of an anti-LGBTQ evangelical preacher, who fall in love while struggling to come to grips with the anti-gay Christian world they live in.
The incredibly heartbreaking, yet inspiring, video has more than 3.1 million views.
Try not to cry while watching this video and you will surely fail!
It ends with information about The Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to providing crisis and suicide interventions for the LGBTQ aged 13 to 24.
“The story of the video is one that hits home to me,” Goss said, “I had planned to become a Catholic priest — I spent 18 months in seminary following college before I realized I was gay. I also attempted suicide when I was 13. Although it was for different reasons, it’s a place that I’ve been.”
Goss also has a video titled “Bears” which was viewed more than 1.2 million views. After seeing Goss’ body of work, we can’t wait to keep watching him and see what he does next for his community.
