For example, for the guys who post their pictures in the Exhibition areas, would you feel comfortable with other men making the kinds of comments that everyone makes about the women's pics? If not, why? I would find it refreshing to see something like this happen... it would signal to me that gay men do indeed feel as comfortable as straight men here.

Martinguerre, I was aware that you were bi, but I am not clear on many other men who may be bi (and I certainly am not aware of any gay male TFP'ers yet). Thank you for being open about yourself, it is helpful for understanding.
Well, Any praise I could get I would be grateful for!

I actually did post a pic in the exhibition thread, even though I am not really very pleasing on the eye, and I got back a lot of positive comments from other men, which werent necessarily sexual, but were positive to me and I was pleased to receive, cos I thought all that would come back would be silence!

But maybe the fact is just there are more heterosexual voices than homosexual ones... so heterosexual comments will always seem prevalent
