Arnie says Oui

When evidence surfaced this week at TheSmokingGun.com of the frisky antics of his youth, Arnold Schwarzenegger calmly proclaimed that he hadn't lived his life to be a politician. However, by the responses in the interview he conducted with Oui (the adult mag which Paker Posey's Connie, the "friendly skies" stewardess passes on to Laura Linney's Mary-Ann in Tales Of The City) in 1977, it’s clear his drug and sexual history would make any Kennedy proud.

The interview is quite the read, with Arnie discussing such topics as his recreational use of marijuana, sex before competition, penis size, being “exploited” by women purely because they are interested in his physique, and gym gang bangs (as one does in the gym in between work outs). As for his response to the question, "Do you get freaked out by being in such close contact with men in the gym?" Schwarzenegger replied:

"Not at all. When I was playing soccer at the age of 14, the first thing we'd do before going out onto the field would be to climb up on one another's thighs and massage the legs; it was a regular thing. None of us had a thought of being gay, absolutely not, and it's the same with bodybuilders. Men shouldn't feel like fags just because they want to have nice-looking bodies. Another thing: Recently I posed for a gay magazine, which caused much comment. But it doesn't bother me. Gay people are fighting the same kind of stereotyping that bodybuilders are: People have certain misconceptions about them just as they do about us. Well, I have absolutely no hang-ups about the fag business; though it may bother some bodybuilders, it doesn't affect me at all."

He commented Wednesday that he is against gay (or should that be fag) marriage, but favours domestic partnerships, as marriage is meant to be between a Mahn unt Vuu-mahn.
