Volleyball, a sport that attracts all three genders

Besides dramatic matches and beautiful scoring moves, volleyball also attracts viewers with an eternal element - the charm of the body.

If in women's volleyball, male fans are fascinated by the charm of Zehra Gunes, Yoshino Sato... then in the men's playground, Simone Gianelli, Ivan Zaytsev, Matt Anderson... also attract female fans.

According to Women's Health UK magazine, in a survey of 1,000 women, volleyball was ranked as the sport with the most attractive male athletes. The reasons given were the tall, broad-shouldered, well-muscled and confident demeanor of the hitters.

"In particular, volleyball's movements are very beautiful. The flying position when hitting the ball is considered one of the sexiest positions in the sports world," Women's Health wrote.

Not only that, volleyball is also considered by the LGBT community as a "friendly" and attractive sport.

In North America, the North America Gay Volleyball Association (NAGVA) has more than 4,000 members and dozens of tournaments each year.

The San Francisco Bay Times calls volleyball “the unofficial but most popular sport among LGBT people”, because it is a space where this community can both compete and assert themselves.

Additionally, a survey by Instinct Magazine for gay and bisexual men found that more than 45% of respondents chose beach volleyball as the sport they most wanted to see at the Olympics, a high percentage compared to many other sports.

Even among heterosexual men, volleyball still brings admiration in terms of physical appearance. The world's top spikers such as Ivan Zaytsev (Italy), Matt Anderson (USA) or Ran Takahashi (Japan) are often mentioned as models of balance: outstanding height, harmonious body proportions, leg strength for jumping and flexibility in every defense.

A study by Japan's J-STAGE on the "visual appeal" of volleyball also noted that students, when watching sports, considered volleyball to be "the most visually appealing sport."

It can be said that volleyball is a special sport that attracts a large number of fans from all three genders. In terms of popular aesthetic standards, volleyball meets almost all of them.

Let's admire the male athletes with sculpted looks at the 2025 Volleyball World Championship:
