It had been a while since I visited the NFL Bulges Subreddit and one look at the 2025 edition confirmed to me that the league might not have more dedicated fans.
There were fresh pictures from Week 8 of tried-and-true players like TJ Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers and George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers (one comment from the post: “Damn I don’t think I’ve ever seen his outline like this”), along with new faces like rookies Troy Franklin of the Denver Broncos and Jaxson Dart of the New York Giants (with the headline “Not today boo, not today”).

‘NFL bulges’ Subreddit leaves little to the imagination, and the gays can’t get enough
The NFL bulges Subreddit is laser-focused on one thing, and it does that one thing very well.
Week 8 in the NFL stunk, with the average margin of victory heading into Monday night 16.5 points and only one game decided by fewer than 10 points. That’s a lot of bad football to watch with the hopes of catching a bulge moment.
But the guys who contribute to NFL bulges (trust me, they’re all gay or bi guys, since I’ve never seen women do such a forensic analysis of a dude’s member) are nothing if not determined. They comb through photo services and grab screenshots from revealing moments on TV.

Nothing seems to escape these posters. Dart, the exciting and hot Giants rookie quarterback, scored a touchdown and celebrated against the Philadelphia Eagles a couple of weeks ago. “Please tell me someone just got the VPL of Dart on that TD celebration on video,” someone asked on a thread. Soon after, someone posted the video.
The purity of the Subreddit is a key feature. There are no politics, no fantasy football discussion, just bulges, bulges and more bulges, along with comments that are often sly and insinuating and not overtly crude. A shot of New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs got comments like “We’re living in the golden age of NFL bulges. Love it,” and “It’s 2:30 somewhere.”
The three-year old community has 10,000 members (double what it was at the start of the 2024 seasons) and 231 weekly contributions. That’s impressive growth and size.
I would argue that the site is wholesome in its own way (there is nothing X-rated and all the images and screenshots are what fans see every game on TV) and a pure distillation of a place that promises just one thing and delivers on it.
