I'm not as up on my UK pop music as I used to be, but Dougie from McFly is super dreamy. And lucky for us he likes to get naked. What do you think of him?

Angleton Anglophile

Dear Limey Lover:

I would have to agree with you - Dougie Poynter is one of the more attractive boy band members that I've had the pleasure of ogling in the past few years, especially now that he's officially turned 20 and I'm no longer guilty of a felony offense every time I have a wet dream about him. What amazes me about him - as well as about so many of the Britboy heartthrobs, such as Philip Olivier and Ben Adams and even Daniel Radcliffe - is that they are so bloody hirsute at such a young age. Daniel Radcliffe, for example, recently revealed just how furry he is in publicity photos for his appearance in the West End production of Equus, and Dougie himself seemed to sprout follicles on his legs and in a rather impressive treasure trail when he was still in high school. Maybe it's the cold weather, maybe it's genetics, but whatever it is, it's one of the things that I just adore about British men in general. As I've often said, I always prefer to floss after eating...and all that hair works just marvelously. The one thing that I am NOT particularly predisposed towards is the preponderance of turtlenecks that one finds in men of the UK persuasion. By and large, circumcision seems to have been an afterthought in the British Isles and its colonies both present and former, and I'm not a fan of the hooded look. It's all a matter of personal taste, of course, since when in use such accessories are unapparent, but on those rare occasions when I happen upon a cock not in a state of arousal, I pre- fer a more sculpted look to that presented by one that's not been tended to by an obstetrician.
