Ian Somerhalder Declared World's SeXXXiest, Shirtless Stud

Sixteen delicious dudes took off their shirts and oiled up their glorious god-like bodies in the name of science seksiness, but, as it turns out, all men are NOT created equal!

After four grueling rounds of mano-a-mano manliness, the Shirtless Celebrity Showdown has come to an end and our perezilicious voters have crowned a champion!!

Everyone give a hand fap to The Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder, our BIG WINNER!

He faced off against Joe Manganiello in a hard-fought finale, but Ian's fans came out in droves and the super seXXXy CW stud collected more than two thirds of all votes cast!

You did it, you brilliant beefcake " you're OFFICIALLY the most lovely lad in all the land! Congratulations on your well-deserved victory!

See which other hunktastic hotties Ian climbed over (mmm, nice imagery) to reach the very top (below)!!
