I'm watching the movie "Without a Paddle" as I type this. This movie actually made me decide to post about this topic, because this movie (unintentionally) hits on how ambiguous male relationships tend to be. Funny, but just now as I type this, the guys in the movie are contemplating lying together to keep warm.
Anyway, must admit that I never visit this site without feeling just a little insecure. It's so weird to be male because others, and often you yourself, think that if you have any interest in what is essentially your own body then you are not a real man.
Oh. Blah blah blah.... my question is really simple: do other self-identified straight guys feel a little weird coming here?
For me, I think one reason I feel weird is that, I don't know, there's a sense that you're not supposed to objectify other men, that it's sort of a form of brotherly blasphemy, or something. You can empathize with other man's pain, but you aren't supposed to be a loser who envies another man's penis. On one hand, I like hearing about what guys with big penises experience, etc. On the other hand, there's this strange ambiguous sense of violation, that I'm objectifying another male -- which sort of sickens me.
Does this make any sense to anyone, or have I just lost my mind? (Seriously. I'm asking. I should probably be committed.)
