It’s only been mere days since Chris Hemsworth sent the internet into a tailspin (literally) with some all too familiar back-arched-to-the-gods posturing, and we lovingly named the moment for what it was: a power bottom energy (PBE) flex.
But as we’re learning, PBE can take various forms, just like its cousin, big dick energy (BDE).
And we already have another pop culture PBE moment. What did we do to deserve this?
Everyone remembers Ryan Philleppe flashing his perfect cakes in 1999’s Cruel Intentions. And for many gay viewers, some of whom were still young and closeted, the scene had an extra special influence.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Nobody knows this more than Philleppe himself, who has shamelessly opened up about the power of his peach in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“I felt okay with [showing] my butt,” he began.
“Everybody has a butt, it’s really not that graphic. So many guys on Twitter are like, ‘That’s the moment I knew I was gay,’ and there have been guys like, ‘I behaved like Sebastian to get laid!’ Which I never did.”
We already knew the limitless power the booty processes, but for Phillippe, a straight Hollywood celebrity, to acknowledge it so nonchalantly, is pure PBE in our book.

What? That’s is? No ass up, face down pics?
Clickbait again Queerty?

Queerty, really?

I can only assume that David Grant is a 70-year-old former National Enquirer cut-and-paste artist who failed to make it writing porn movie scripts. At least that’s the picture conjured by this, ahem, article.

What is this article even saying? Phillippe was comfortable showing his rear end in a movie 20 years ago so that means he’s giving off Power Bottom Energy? What ridiculous non-news this is.

I don’t get it. He showed his behind in the 90’s in a film people forgot about.

Slow day on the gay news column.

So, where is this power bottom moment?

“The latest”? From 20 years ago?
Thanks, but I (and, I’m pretty sure, anyone else who’d be interested) already saw Phillipe’s tushie in “Cruel Intentions” by watching the flick or Googling “Ryan Phillipe nude” and being directed to the stills or video of the scene. It’s well worth the effort, but anything from THIS century?

“Everyone remembers” Not everyone has seen it you arrogant prick! I have and even I don’t remember seeing it.
