Nudity

[squirrels]

A lot of it probably has to do with the fear of popping an obvious b0ner. After all, there are naked women present.

Besides, the male genitalia, while functional, are awkward. Imagine walking around the office with a monkey-wrench strapped to your belt. The form just looks ridiculous. At least animals have it retract up inside them when they aren't using it.

I wouldn't be nude around someone who isn't comfortable with it simply because it's rude, but being nude around other guys is certainly not 'gay' or strange in any way. It's what people did for thousands of years. It's no more 'animalistic' than sex.

Victorian sexual taboos are alive and well in the U.S. Men live in terror of being imagined gay, terrified they won't "measure up" to other males.

This fear over rides the desire to display TRUE masculine behavior of showing off the very thing that makes them MALE!

I'm around gays, bi's, and trannies all the time. I spend most of my weekends in Manhattan. I have no problem with them at all. As long as they know to respect the boundaries with me, then I don't mind being around them. It's when they don't, that pisses me off. But the greater majority of times they respect the boundaries. These people are some of the coolest people. And let me tell you all one other thing: lots of these gay looking guys who are actually into women, pull lots of fine women. You can always walk into any club in the east or west village in Manhattan and see some faggy looking guy grinding or making out with some hot b*tch.

^^^Have you and/or these men been naked around each other?

Interesting thread. I've always wondered about guys who get naked at parties. What exactly is the reason and what is the thrill they get out of it.


There is the suggestion that they get a sexual thrill like perverts do from flashing.

The logic (or lack there of) of some women (and a whole lot of guys) is really baffling. This is a false dilemma, it is simplistic and silly. I do not like seeing naked men. To suggest that the reason I do not like seeing the pole of another man is because it makes me feel inadequate is simply STUPID! I do not like cigarette smoke, does that also mean I am jealous or insecure that the smoker has a longer cigarette or can blow bigger smoke than I can? There is ZERO logic in this assumption.

Naked men are disgusting and I would rather not have that garbage in my face. The men who would disrobe in front of these other men are simply male attention wh0res. Screaming "hey look at me" by taking off ones clothes reeks of desperate 16 year old boy, who just got his drivers license.
