STRIPPED: Mechanical Engineer Rob Austin

My coming-out story is …
I decided to tell my family when I graduated from college. But my sister’s wedding photographers outted me to her when they dropped off the proofs, saying they saw me out at gay bars, even though I told them my family didn’t know yet. There was more drama than I’m letting be known. But in the end they did me a favor. I was having a hard time finding the right words.

If it’s Saturday night, you’re likely to find me …
At a house party, at a bar/club dancing or, my favorite, visiting my family—and still dancing, by means of Just Dance on the Xbox with my nieces and nephews.

My friends are constantly ribbing me about …
“WWRAE,” meaning, What Would Rob Austin Eat? They know I’m health-conscious.

Cher, Madonna, or Mariah?
I love them all, but Mariah purely for her voice. That bitch can belt. 

You wouldn’t believe that I eat …
Guacamole and chips.

When it comes to sex, I …
Am in favor of it.

My friends would describe me as …
Family-oriented, outgoing, goofy, and dirty-minded.

When it comes to porn …
Three questions: What is up with the music? Why is the acting so bad? And is there ever really a plot other than to get off?

I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing …
Cropped pants.

If I could sleep with one celebrity, it would be …
Ryan Reynolds.

My attitude about the gym is …
I work out every day, typically for an hour and a half, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter—especially if friends ask me to meet up for Mexican food. It all comes back to the guacamole.
