In any case, I guess what I’m suggesting is that the more you realize bodies are more alike than not – one of the benefits to life-drawing classes – the more open you’ll be to ignoring the so-called ‘yucky’ differences associated with gendered and generational physiques. Exploration will be greatly facilitated. And since, you asked: I’m quite certain about my limits. All I ask is for a clean cooter. Everything else is good to go, thanks.

I’ve actually seen it, David, and instead of being grossed out, I was amazed… Amazed at all the transformations that body has endured to get to where it’s at, and amazed at how radically different it is from the youthful, toned body we are so accustomed to.

Sure you may not be aroused, but looking at such the body of a ‘wrinkled out-of-shape 90 year old’ with curious eyes certainly helps put its differences into perspective. In fact, I suggest that all you age/fat/wrinkle-negative folks enroll yourselves in at least ONE life drawing class where you’ll be exposed to a wide array of nude bodies. Not only will you get your daily fix of more ‘average’ physiques, you’ll also learn how to look at it more ‘objectively’. Exposure is key!

Next time you see a wrinkled up bent up out of shape 90 year old, be appreciative and have at it, and don’t grimace, “that’s just immature”.

Also, I’m with Sparkle Obama and Pragmatist on the yuck factor. Imagining oneself engaging in sex with a woman should not bring about a visceral (aka “barf”) reaction. The body is a wonderful thing, and we must all learn to appreciate it, not matter the sex, no matter the form. Sure, everyone has their preferences, but to have visceral reactions to less favourable ones…? That’s just immature.

I think that we could safely say the same of most gay LGBT people as well.

So, what does that have to do with my critique of She’s critique of us?

Who gave her the right to play hetero-cop? If we need a sermon on our sinful ways, we can always attend a Sunday Mass at our local Christian or Mormon Church if we feel the need to have our pee pee’s whacked.

Hello? Newsflash, lady.

Check out the Internet. You heteros have sites and blogs that would make a sailor blush. What is it with people like you, who come “snooping” around homo sites and blogs, simply for the purpose of making cracks and “critiquing” our “behavior” and play moralscop.

What is your problem, anyway? Your old man not porking you often enough? Perhaps you should check-out his late night surfing habits on the Internet after you have fallen asleep?

That might well be the source of your jealousy over those who are having a good sex-life.

Try it. You might like it. ;-)

There is no reason why we should ever feel compelled to do anything we are not physically comfortable with, just because someone else says we should.

Kind like what the religious right keeps preaching at us, eh?

“Do it our way. It’s good for you…and you’ll go to heaven to boot” LOL

I do think it’s sad that people can say they are bi-curious, but less often do I hear them say they are trans-curious. Transsexuals are the third sex!

I agree. People need to grow up. There’s just no reason why the thought of sex with a woman should nauseate even the most homosexual man — and frankly, I don’t believe that it does.

Straight guys often act the same way, with some even pretending they can’t identify a good-looking guy. I think these kinds of reactions are really just a way of saying, “Hey! I’ve invested in an identity! I don’t want to think about anything that might threaten it!”

and ahead of its time.

the future is PANSEXUAL,

the question is when…

our lifetime? probably not, but it’s coming…

And Happy Holidays to you as well.

You got me, girlfriend. “Makes me sick” would certainly be synonymous with “omg barf”.

You have an eagle eye. lol

Happy Holidays.

Perhaps Drew doesn’t like the idea of having sex with a straight man either.

How about “omg barf” at reply 5, or does barf have another meaning I’m not aware of?

Saying that, it didn’t bother me, I have pracically that reaction to the thought of ever having sex with a man again ;-)

You wrote, in quotations marks, no less, “makes you sick”.

Exactly where did you see those words on this blog and who said them?

There is an old saying.

“Once you get past the smell, you got it licked!”

Yeah, yeah. Hold it down, guys. I am NOT a misogynist. It just a sexist joke. ;-)
