extreme sub bottom fisting pink sashed fuscia hanky leather boy nutria/capybara seeks same ONLY!
I am about to make some generalizations that will probably get some people upset...
On an innertubing trip this summer I noticed something that kind of stuck in my mind the past couple of months. As all of us were waiting for the shuttle bus to take us to the river, I noted that the only people there with freaky ripped John Basedow abs were the other gay couple in line. The rest of the people registered at least some level of body fat. Eventually I wondered why some of us choose to live with such strict standards. How much time do those people spend running each week? Fat naturally deposits around the tummy, yet for too many people it is the percieved as THE indicator of absolute fitness. Lack of fat there has nothing to do with your cardiovascular fitness, but the gays seem to be obsessed with abs and the Apollo's Belt. I can run, tackle, hit and be hit for 80 minutes, yet I still have a little somethin' to grab around the waist (woof). But despite my true cardiovascular fitness, this is anathema to more than a few gays in tha gay ghetto.
And that's the problem - reaching such a difficult standard is impossible for some, so I think they give up and go 180 degrees in the other direction - the Bear Community - waay over at the other end of the spectrum. "If I can't be ripped I'm going to be obese instead, and stick it to those skinny queens!" Or some guys will go for the outrageously puffy 'roided out look (nice zits). At any point on this triangle, the gays always go overboard and to the extreme. Meanwhile the rest of society is somewhere in the middle.
And the same thing goes for leather or sex. You can't seem to be just have a kink you like to engage in from time to time, you have to be a Supreme Sub Bottom Boy Sex Pig Fistmaster 2002-2005 Mr. DC Overlord Heavily Invested in the Sash Community Purple Croc-Wearing Capybara/Nutria Indentured Servitude Slave leather gay person (looking for same ONLY!) - with a bar code. Sexual moderation seems to be a rarity as well. It's not enough to get it once every couple of weeks, some people feel insecure if they don't get it three times a week - or thrice daily for that matter. I think sometimes The Gays need to pop their head out of the 'hood for some perspective from time to time. I'm not saying straight is right, I'm saying moderation is the key in a lot of things. While life is changing with the predicton of a post-modern gay, we still tend to excessively pigeonhole and too often go to extremes. That is all. That is my opinion. Be moderate, be yourself, don't be a label or an image of what some magazine says you should be. And stop running/eating so much.

Charlene wouldn't put up with that crap.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is now scheduled for May 7, 2010. Production will begin next summer, instead of January. The second film in the franchise, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," is scheduled to open May 16.Sadly, we won't see the return of the delicious villian Jadis, played by TILDA, TILDA, TILDA Swinton, until a couple of prequels later. As I recall we learn about her origin in one of the books about teleporting pools, I forget which book. My favorite in the series was Voyage of the Dawn Treader for some reason. I was bored to tears with the Silver Chair.
Hello! I only recently found out what the name of that ridge around the hips was called--Apollo's belt. Did a search for it and found your entry. I laughed read it. I'm a queer male and also find it rather hilarious that so many gay men are so obsessed with pecs, biceps, delts, lats, abs, and now "belts". For may gay men, the actual general health of their bodies is not really their concern but rather the superficial aspects of it--the surface muscles like the pecs and belts--as opposed to something more substantial like one's overall health. It's a good analogy for how many gay men perform/experience/do relationships. Many are uncommitted, interested mostly in have A (or a few) good times rather than building something more substantial, sustaining and nurturing. Sometimes, the gay men's community feels like that Aesop's fable where the grasshopper is playing all summer long while the ant is harvesting preparing for fall and winter when food is scare. Yup, many gay men are just interested in being pleasured. I wonder what that generation(s) of gay men is going to feel like come several decades later in their 60s and 70s when most of us will be sagging, wrinkled, and less physically able.
There's more to surface level muscles and pleasures.
