Bare bear (Image via video still)

Via Mr. Man:

Our collective understanding of the term “bear” varies — to some people, a bear is an animal, and to other people, a bear is an animal. A hot, hairy, beefy, and rugged animal. The gay term “bear” originated in the 1970s, and was introduced to the masses with its first use in print: the Advocate article “Who's Who at the Zoo?” penned by George Mazzei in 1979.

But that was then, and this is wow. This fall, we’re celebrating the rich history and undeniable sex appeal of bears by checking out beary hot celebs in various states of undress. Keep scrolling to see Nick Offerman, David Harbour, Christopher Meloni, and more gorgeous specimens of bearhood ...

Christopher Meloni is truly one of the sexiest and men in Hollywood. And, even better, his name has been synonymous with hot prison shower dick and balls ever since his breakout role on Oz. The pioneering '90 HBO series saw Meloni stripping down for some man-on-man action with his fellow inmates in almost too many scenes to count. In this Oz, there’s no place like homo!
