Jeff Lukomski
strips down for our feature on the beauty and blemish of
the human body.
Jeff Lukomski,
44
Detroit
Likes: smile, eyes
Dislikes: penis—too big
Jeff Lukomski, a
blond and bronzed former competitive swimmer, looks like
he stepped out of a scene from The Endless Summer. But Jeff
is no checked-out surfer dude. “For so many
years gays have been made to feel like second-class
citizens,” he says. “Media and politics have
made us feel so wrong about ourselves that we feel
damaged, defective.”
Single and 44,
Jeff goes to the gym and bleaches his hair because he
knows people respond to appearance first and personality
second. “In my 20s I was so skinny and pretty,
and I didn’t like being a pretty boy,” he
says. “It wasn’t until around my mid 30s that
I started to look like a man, and that’s really
when I got a lot of attention.” That interest has
waned in the past few years, Jeff says, “And
that’s a bit scary. I’d like to believe
the attention didn’t mean something to me, but it
does.” Inches are also an issue with Jeff, who
wishes he could add some to his frame and take away a
few from a particular appendage. “My penis is too
big,” he says without any sense of sarcasm.
“It’s been an issue for people. I
don’t know if I would get plastic surgery, but if it
could be a little smaller down there that would be
nice.”
