Great way to spare me the lectures!
This site does not exist in a bubble and the thread is not in the "safe space" section which unfortunately allows a certain amount of immunity from criticism regarding less than honorable or respectful acts.
One asks a question, one get answers and opinions and sometimes not all of them fits one's narrative or how one thinks thier reality should be.
If your friend is truly straight and not into showing off nude to you, you should respect that and not try to be using deception to "sneak a peek" just to satisfy your curiosity and get off your ya yas.
Is it really worth risking a friendship, especially if he doesn't know you are gay, which you haven't said or not?
This is also why some straight men might be lerry about friendships with gay or bi men in general, since if this site is any indication, some of them seem to be only using that friendship to push boundaries or "turn the straight".
If I wrote a post asking others how I might engineer seeing my married female, plutonic friend nude and asked only for responses that agreed with me, I wouldn't expect not to receive at least some criticism instead. Of course I would hope I received quite a bit a criticism, especially since I would never think to do such a thing to begin with.
