so do you have pictures? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Howard Stern can have lesbians on the show and it’s a huge hit, but try selling gay guys to that same audience. Lesbians aren’t threatening to staight guys’ sexuality. Women walking down the street with their arms intertwined is no big deal. People are just used to women in general showing each other affection.
digigal1, you’re right, but it goes deeper than that, I think. There is a whole category of “lesbian” pornography marketed to men. For men, women doing it, so to speak, is a turn on. Whereas most straight men and, I’m guessing, many straight women find the whole subject of gay men’s sexual practices to be, frankly, revolting. That’s a strong word, but I think it sums it up. More than just a matter of threatening, it is also a lot to do with extreme fear and disgust.
And to Samuel’s point, I would certainly not have responded as I did to your original post had you been a man.

Strange really, if you think about it. One wouldn’t think that the I-define-my-sexuality-by-NOT-being-attracted-to-people-like-you-message would be a hit with the Howard Stern audience.
People are strange.
2 words for ya.
Four boobs
It has nothing to do with threat. It is OBVIOUS: Women look great, and men just aren’t that attractive, especially naked, except Michelangelo’s David.
Clownophobia more common in men
Is JJuggle referring to homophobia–the fear/hate of homosexuals? That includes the fear that someone might think YOU are a homosexual.
You see a lot more clownophobia here: fear/hate of clowns, including the fear that someone might think YOU are a clown.
Men seem to have much more homophobia AND clownophobia than women. Why is that?
Re: Clownophobia more common in men
Those with the bulk of the power are always the most fearful. More to lose equal more fear.

Re: Re: Clownophobia more common in men
Ah, so clowns scare little kids and men.
Clowns throughout history have inverted the power relationship… The fool in Shakespeare is the one who can get away with speaking the wise truth to the king. Clowns are counter cultural–the fool is in a society but not of it, not locked into seeing things conventionally, but more as an outsider.
Re: Re: Re: Clownophobia more common in men
Clowns frighten little kids but engender fear in men.
Perhaps getting a bit far afield here, but…
Clowns may speak the truth to the king, but what really does the king care? He may listen or not, behead or not.
Those who really have to fear are the ministers, advisers, etc whose position depends on the king’s favor. They are the ones quaking in their boots whenever the fool speaks. No?

You mean this?
I do now!
Odd!
I thought four was even.
It’s even better
Finally, the girl with 3 boobs from Total Recall no longer haunts my dreams!
Good one!
I’ll have to see Total Recall again, I don’t recall that girl. There is this alternate Eve & Adam story though.
Oh baby! you make me wish I had four hands!
