Each May a fresh batch of Naval Academy plebes climb the tall greased up Herndon Monument, and almost each year we cover it here at Fleshbot. Because democracy what? Dies in darkness. Henny. We wrote it up in 2016 and 2017, skipped 2018 because I must have been in a coma, and now we're back and just ever so slightly fashionably late!
You guys know the drill by now. Shirtless plebes. Shedding their plebe status - AKA closing out their freshman year - by reaching the top of a monument greased up with fifty pounds of vegetable oil. Hoses. Wetness. Ass and bulge-clinging basketball shorts. Ripped military bods. Barely legal. Not homoerotic at all. Nope. Not at all.
You can head to Business Insider for the best fap-worthy images of the 2019 climb (my Getty Image privileges have been revoked because no one at my company values me as a person) and you can enjoy these sexy free vids courtesy of Twitter. I'M TRYING OKAY. So... dooooo.... you be-plebe in life after love? Please let us know your thoughts on the issue below.

Freshmen at the U.S. Naval Academy attempt the Herndon climb, an annual tradition of climbing an obelisk covered in lard, representing the class’ transition from plebes to mid-shipmen and symbolically ending their first year at the academy. https://t.co/1QDYCzKQoV pic.twitter.com/b9dNFuBzAv
