Massive floats aren’t the only eye-popping things on display this Pride month.
Ahead of Sunday’s strut through downtown Manhattan for the annual Pride Parade, Jason, 36, spent upwards of $3,000 to look his absolute best.
Wearing next to nothing and not knowing who he’s going to run into on the rainbow route, either potential suitors or ex-flings, the 36-year-old, who withheld his last name for privacy reasons, does head-to-toe laser hair removal in addition to penis girth filler.
“Revenge body is definitely real after a breakup,” the newly single New Yorker told The Post.
“I want to look my best… If I run into someone, I want to make sure I’m prepared,” he said, adding that he tossed his “small” bathing suit for a bigger size: “I’m up to a medium now.”
“I know I’m going to be at parties wearing next to nothing and it feels nicer to be thicker,” the finance worker explained. “It definitely gets more stares.”
Jason isn’t the only guy getting pumped up for Pride in more ways than one.
He’s among a slew of men, both fellow finance “bros” and so-called DINKs, double-income no-children couples, who are sparing no expense in finding summer love at the parade, shelling out up to $25,000 for a chiseled head-to-toe look, including penis fillers for “a temporary boost.”
“Pride is the Super Bowl for the gay community,” Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech told The Post. “They have to look right. This is the one that counts – it’s the Sadie Hawkins dance on steroids.”
And they want to put their best foot – and whatever other body part – forward on Sunday.
“I’ve heard so many times where they see someone on a float and they fall in love,” pointed out Dr. Steinbrech.
“You fall in love for the day or fall in love for the rest of your life. It could go either way. It might lead to a weekend in Fire Island or lead to the rest of your life… So there’s a lot riding on this,” he added.
As a result, Dr. Steinbrech’s patients ask for the full, ahem, package — Larry, 62, being one of them.
“This is Oscars week,” the native New Yorker, who’s worked on his abs, face, neck and tush for Pride month, told The Post.
“My rear is not by mistake,” he said of the fat grafting and injections he’s received from Dr. Steinbrech. “I tell people it’s because I was a Broadway dancer, but it’s because of my amazing doctor who’s an artist.”
With his postage stamp-sized outfit picked out, a leather harness and jeans, sans shirt, Larry said nothing can rain on his parade.
“It’s amazing and unclockable,” the single bartender said of the procedures that look undetectable. “Now people say, ‘You have a nice ass, not a fake ass.’ That’s all the difference.”
Others insist that when it comes to Pride, go big or go home.
An anonymous flight attendant revealed to The Post that he paid a whopping $15,000 for penis fillers solely for Sunday’s parade.
“Everybody’s flirting and I’m OK wearing white and tight,” he said of his planned outfit involving body-hugging shorts, fishnet tank top – and a confident smile.
It’s a hefty price that the 46-year-old didn’t bat an eyelash at spending because his well-and-doud results are worth it. “It’s definitely more bulky – it’s heavier and prettier.”
His doctor, Midtown plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer, told The Post he preps his patients with penis fillers, PRP (plasma-rich platelet) injections and scrotoplasty that can yield big results —some “as big as a can of Coca Cola.”
He sees more patients – solo or as couples – streaming in for “speedo season” that kicks off with Pride. “They want to look their best in the minimal amount of clothing.”
Forget the catcall – now it’s all about the cock-call.
“Guys will tell me they see people glance down, which has never happened before – and it gives them a nice ego,” said Dr. Shafer.
Aesthetic nurse practitioner Chris Bustamante agrees.
“Guys want to look best in their Speedos. There are lots of sex parties that happen during Pride Month,” he told The Post, who performs up to five procedures a day to deliver bigger penises with up to a two-inch gain in circumference.
“Before, middle-aged guys would just buy a Porsche. Now they’re getting their dicks done,” said Bustamante.
