Same sex hanky-panky in the media- Acceptable, Taboo, or both?

HA HA Richard as we say in kiwi lingo you are a real 'Hardcase" mean's you are a funny guy, alway's seeing a laugh in everything, ok would Bum, Touche, bottom be more the word lol!!

PCB raised something interesting, yes females are more touchy human beings for sure, you often see young girls walking around town arm and arm, and no they are not gay, or a mother and older daughter holding hands, also not gay, we are just much more emotional creatures who show our feelings more publicly than perhaps the male gender., so perhaps that is why we have less of a problem with the female/female thing, just my thoughts.

Hello all.

An interesting thread here. Good point Carole. Gals are usually more emotional and show feelings more than the male gender, but only from the outside.Men tend to hide their emotions because they are told "not to cry" "men don't cry" etc. This holding in of emotions can lead to ulcers and a host of mental health problems that lead to depression, boozing and even suicide in men. Being open about your emotions is completely healthy, and you should care less of what society thinks as long as it affects you in a positive way. When a person worries all time what everyone is thinking about him/her, and holding in their emotions and feeings, that person will end a neurotic emotional wreak.

Lat I so agree with you here, it is a pity our young men are not taught it is ok to cry, I remember my son saying to me, mum you better not cry at the airport(he was off to UK) I said thats because you are scared you will cry, and he said yes, I have never taught him not to show his emotions, he grew up with me alone for ten years, but society has, and it is a sad reflection of society on a whole.

Because "men" are stupid.


Personally, i'd rather not see two women, two men, or a woman and a man doing anything of the sort in public. A short kiss, a hug -- fine. Is there really a need to be stuck onto eachothers faces like magnets in public?

I don't think it has to do with females being more emotional and showing more affection... it has to do with people being ignorant.
Especially males. They'll straight out say - " Oh, I hate homosexuals, two girls are 'hot' though!" Especially the idiots in my school. People need to learn to accept Homosexuality in both sexes, male and female.... whether they agree with it or not, they still need to learn to accept it.

Females showing affection and emotions are far different then what men find attractive. Generally, they find the skimpy girls in skimpy outfits with their faces stuck to eachother's attractive.


I love when males cry. Not the fact that they're hurt or sad -- the fact that it shows that there's actually SOMETHING in there....



We're off to buy some things for the pups...... i'll more than likely be back with more of what I have to say.

well i think young people like that are just immature and that doesn't really count as a " political opinion" because they're usually just saying that to look cool around thier friends

Well, it's not just young people that say that. I've heard many grown men say the exact same thing.

No. I've known many, many older people say the same exact thing.

[Sirrahsim]

yes, I've heard many an adult male say the exact same thing

Whew... what I miss when I'm in my own world for a few days! I've read through the replies briefly, so please forgive me if I repeat something that has already been said.

I have noticed this little phenomenon too. I see what my kids and their friends are doing at school and the dances. All the girls wear skin-tight clothes... the pants begin as low on the hips as possible, while the shirts end high above the waist. The boys all wear baggy oversized clothing... lets take some fabric from the boys and donate it to the girls!!! LOL

Anyway, at the dances the girls all dance together. And I mean DANCE together, ala Dirty Dancing. A few kiss.... while the boys stand on the side lines hooting and hollering.

I think sometimes the kids are doing what they see in the media, then the media turns around and shows what the kids are doing. It would have never occured to me as a teen at a school dance to get my groove on pelvis to pelvis with my best friend. Eeeewwww.

I am uncomfortable wih men/men and woman/woman scenes. But I'm a prude.. I often think they show too much on man/woman scenes. I like the way they used to do movies where they showed people were about to kiss and they showed the beginning of the kiss, panned away and returned with a happy couple afterwards.

I'd seriously love to see everyone dress in their OWN size for one day.

yeah i know, i didn't say that older people didn't say theat. what i meant was, when younger people say that they are usually trying to be cool or show that they "are not gay"and that makes them seem immature. when older people say it it just makes them seem ignorant

My husband...



imho, women's bodies are more beautiful. But I'd rather not see ANY sort of physical contact between same sexed people, because this shows a tolerance.

And it should not be tolerated? I know your opinion not everyone is going to agree.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Eh....

I personally find men very beautiful...and I find that most men have a total hissycow if you tell em so. It's as if they think If some chick says I'm beautiful, then I must be gay....hrm...

Stupid society makes it imposible to even COMPLEMENT someone without someone getting POed

I think the comedian Ron White said it best....(Im paraphrasing here)

He was telling a story about his homophobic friend and said "When you watch pornography, do you want to see a woman get *bleep* by a guy with a small thingy *I use thingy so as not to offend...as much * or a big thingy?" And the friend started to go on about how he liked big thingys and then kind of just shut up lol.

The point is, most men *NOT ALL* need to get a grip and not be so gay-sensitive. I figure its healthy just to not worry so much if a guy is hitting on you....I mean if he is...it must mean youre atractive to him and it SHOULD be taken as a complement...but if you're uncomfortable, you should be polite about mentioning your sexual preferences to the party in question and leave it at that. Respect IS a good thing...

Ok I rambled a bit off topic....

As far as PDA is concerned, I figure holding hands and cuddling is fine...maybe even a small kiss but Puuullleeeze *Heterosexual persons and homosexual persons need to learn this* if your partner is orgasiming in public, you probibly should tone things down a bit Thats just my opinion lol

If I wanted to see action, Id just open my junk e-mails...

I agree with Laura's (Uabasson) post.

But, I also think it is related to the perception of beauty. I could never understand WHY a male body is not considered beautiful? I think the roots of this lay in the education. I personally think that a male body can be as beautiful as a female body, and viceversa. People don't look at the human body with their eyes, they look with their mind (which is full of prejudices). You just have to look for it. A man's behind can be as sexy as a woman's. I know so many straight girls that don't see half of the beauty I see in men.
