So, without further ado, in the 45^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2025), we highlight “Man Areas” performed by Jonny McGovern.

“This shit right here? / This ain’t no regular club jam,” Jonny McGovern asserts in the intro of “Man Areas”, the fourth track from his 2012 album, The Gayest Of All Time.  That would be an incredibly accurate statement. He continues, “This a faggoty-ass club jam / So get your motherfuckin’ hands up!” Yes, “Man Areas” is gay, gay, gay, which fits the billing of The Gayest Of All Time – DUH! McGovern is blunt throughout “Man Areas,” which is a huge part of its charm.

“I like your man areas,” McGovern sings in the chorus, adding, “You know I like-like-like / To lick-lick-lick your man areas.” Use your imagination regarding what Jonny enjoys licking. “Put some shades on my eyes / ‘Fore I lick between your thighs / I’m a pretty big fag / With a whole lotta swag,” he sings in verse one. We did not doubt McGovern’s degree of gayness. But, if there was doubt about his gay card… “Kissin’ on the bar / While I grab your junk / You’re such a fuckin’ hunk / And you’re so fuckin’ drunk,” he sings in the second verse, continuing, “Come on, don’t be a punk / Just gimme your spunk / Lemme in your pants / So I can spill all.” There are many other instances of innuendo and unapologetic pleasure, whether it’s “All the strippers on the junk / And you know they like to fuck,” or “Like him with his tats / And the muscles on his back / And the way he makes it jack.” Jack, huh? “Man Areas” is outlandish, but, the sex positivity by one horny Jonny McGovern is through the roof. NSFW, folks!
