He-Man was the first celebrity crush I had. I don't remember when I first watched He-Man but I remember knowing instinctively that I was not watching it for the plot lines or the production values. Prince Adam was ok but I (a bottom) knew he was a fellow bottom and it would never work between us. Prince Adam was also kinda Meh. I like my men a little crazy. The steroids that pumped up Adam into He-Man (c'mon you know that light was filled with nano steroids) came from the Sorceress and she was crazy herself. The byotch had agoraphobia.
Anyway something about He-Man in that loincloth with his deep voice spoke to the little queer in me. I was around five when I first saw He-Man so I knew it wasn't a sexual attraction per se, but I wanted him to hold me. Plus every time he would mount Battle Cat I would experience waves of jealousy. When I got my first toy, I was so excited. Unfortunately I didn't have a huge He-Man collection because we were very poor. (Trailer Park Poor.) I was always jealous of my cousins who had a better collection of He-Man.
Right now I am watching an episode on YouTube. It's the one where Prince Adam's mother has her own TBT remembering her past as an astronaut. Watching it now I am kinda bored. Even the kitschness of the show only goes so far. But still though I have out grown He-Man, I will forever be grateful to him and his loincloth.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
