My journey into water polo–player thirst traps began as usual...

^Me.
I was diddling around the WWW when I stumbled across this picture of a Greek water polo team. My interest was elevated. My senses were heightened. My body was ready.

As one who falls into thirst traps often, I enlarged the picture. I wanted more.
My search continued by clicking on more pictures that looked hot.

I was hooked.

Throw me in the pool and have at it.
BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED...

^Me.
...and by something, I mean I randomly came across Italian water polo players and was like, J*sus Chr*st. I've been in the wrong place all along.
I found this.

BUT...like most thirst monsters...I knew there were more.

I decided to dig a little deeper.
My search got more advanced...
...and by more advanced I mean that I literally just googled "Italian national water polo team." I clicked on the Wiki and there it was...
en.wikipedia.org
All of their names. Now all I had to do was google each of their names and the word "Instagram."
What followed was nothing short of amazing. A true modern Instagram-stalking miracle.
I found locker room after locker room of rowdy naked Italian water polo players.
There were hot tubs full of hot, almost naked men.
Speedos upon Speedos.
This picture was hashtagged #italianstyle, which sounds like something I'm very interested in.
Discovery after discovery. I was like a less problematic (maybe?) early world explorer. I mean, come on, LOOK AT THIS DISCOVERY!
Land ho!!!
Take me there!!!
And that's when I decided I should probably stop because I could do this all day.
Y'all have permission to destroy me!
