I just got access to TE this week, and I must say that I'm just blown away. I know I haven't been around that long, but the community here just contiues to amaze and suprise me.
One of the things that I really like is the unisex threads like "Show your Butt". It's just fun to see EVERYONE'S butt, and that is one of the longer threads on that board. It's kinda a free for all and really gets people out to strut their stuff.
Granted, I would rather look at nice shapely tushies of the females. It is unfortunate that society has conditioned us men the way it has. There is absolutly nothing wrong with acknowldging beauty even in the same sex, but we have been taught that there is something wrong with us if we do notice how attractive that guy is. Sad, but very difficult to get away from 34 years of conditioning.
However, realizing this and using the 'anonymousness' of the forums to expand our minds is one of the great things that the internet and communities like this can give us. We are free to open ourselves to comment on someone guys 'unit' without the fear of ridicule from friends the next night at the pub.
