San Francisco film crew staffer, Brian Benson, was sick of being teased by co-workers that he was playing gay to get chicks — which, btw, one of the funniest pop songs by The Blood Hound Gang. So to get back at the men who were jealous of all the female attention he was getting, Benson decided to rub-a-dub-dub it in their faces by showering with his girlfriends and then taking Polaroids to prove it. By the end of the year, he had reached his goal of 100! Best of all, you can see these cheeky photos that are cleverly nudity free-ish on his website, but we’re waiting for the coffee table version!
