You know, I would LOVE to go to a nude beach, as long as "I" was the only person there, that I knew! Seriously.

Okay, I'm a grower, not usually a shower(sometimes, though, it just depends on my horniness level). So even though I'm usually impressive, in my grown state, I don't want anyone to see the ungrown state, especially if it's REALLY in the "shy turtle", ungrown state!

I mean, I'm gonna be George Costanza, yelling, "I was in the pool!" "I was in the pool!"

Can I go drinking with your parents?!


Unfortunately, I'm a 'grower' and not a 'show-er' so that's not why nudity is more comfortable to me (unless it's in a sexual situation). I don't know, there's just something wholly liberating about laying on a rock completely naked during the middle of the day with a beer in your hand. Austin's nude beach is gorgeous, too... and the people are very bohemian and friendly. I think the nudity thing is just an extension of the laid back nature of this town, and it's beauty.

Aren't we all though?? As I said, I just went for the obvious, "guy" I have a big cock line!

By the way, those pictures are stunning!

I think I just care less about everything the older I get. It's weird, though... I am pretty self conscious about going shirtless, but I have no problem taking my pants off! I guess nudity is just different for me. I grew up going to the nude beach here in Austin with my parents (I have pot smoking, Harley riding, tequila drinking, old hippie parents)... so nudity has always been a more comfortable thing for me for whatever reason. There's something disarming about nude beaches, too. I think because you just see all types there. No matter who you are, there's somebody who looks better and worse around you. And though the person next to you may have nicer abs, you may have other areas of your body you look better, etc. Nude beaches just teach you that no matter what you've got, it's okay. I find them very empowering personally.
Well, it sounds like you and Homer were both chunksters at one point, which is totally the opposite of me. Not that I'm boasting, but I've always had what most people considered to be a really great physique. Accordingly I've always maintained certain standards for myself. So what sucks for me is when I *think* I am starting to spread out or get a little soft here and there. If I am in anything less than what I consider to be my best physical condition ever, I feel like wearing a burkah. Accordingly, if I am looking particularly tired or run down, i.e., aged, I will not leave the house, or I will leave the house under protest wearing sunglasses. I know in a city of millions, nobody gives a flying fig newton about what I look like. But it's just part of the craziness in my head- a quasi body dysmorphic disorder. When I see those recent pictures of Arnold Schwarzeneggar wearing a speedo and looking like a melted candle, I become horrified- not because he looks all that terrible, necessarily. Rather, it's because of his startling fall from physical perfection and what a toll it must take on his psyche. I feel really, really bad for him.

The thought of her seeing my little baby weiner, just embarrassed me, beyond belief.

And now, even....I don't know. Even though I'm considered thin now, I'm still embarrassed ~somewhat~ to be shirtless in the daytime. Last summer, there were many pool parties at my house, with most people being 18-25. My pool was in half the young people's Facebook profiles, in this town! But I look back, at all those pics, and I realize, the difference that just time has made on my body. Even if I weigh the same as them, our bodies are....just different.

Question - can years of weighing considerably more than this, CHANGE the size of my ribcage? Because I feel like my ribcage is too large for the rest of my body, now. And if it did indeed change that, I wonder if years of being thinner, could allow it to return....?

These are the deep issues, that I ponder.

And btw, I've been VERY horny, the past couple of days.

JTISTMI.

I am pretty sure your skeleton is your skeleton and that there is nothing you can do about it unless you are Cher and you have some of your ribs removed. I knew a guy who was fairly thin but he had the widest mothering hips ever, which I think could be possibly the worst thing that could happen to a guy; it was all hip bone. No matter how much weight you lose, you're not going to remodel your skeleton. So just be thankful it's your rib cage and not your hips!

I wish I could change my skeleton, sometimes.. I have a huge ribcage, it's a bit weird. Also hips.

TMI: The guy I'm seeing is going away in a couple of days and after and extremely intense.. experience.. today, I'm not at all sure I'll be able to handle not seeing him for 2 weeks!

Hmm, well, I was a very skinny kid, until my parents divorced, when I was nine. We moved to the country, where I knew no one, and discovered that food was comfort. So while I was never fat, I was always a little chubby. So I wonder when a body is growing, if the skeleton grows to fit the size of the body....hmm.....
Yeah, I'm glad I don't have hips. I can fit into 27" jeans, or a women's size 0(hey, don't hate, I can't find jeans that fit me now- the smallest Levi's that Kohl's carries is 28", and they're still too big). So yeah, for 5'10", I'm pretty thin now. And I LOVE it. Best thing I've ever accomplished! I finally killed that fat kid!


But you know, sometimes, when I'm really thin, I kind of like the bigger ribcage, because it gives the illusion that I have pecs!

I'm the same way, Louie -- I'd usually rather keep my shirt on, but have no qualms dropping trou. I guess it all has to do with which parts of our body we're secure with and which parts we're not! lol.

Meanwhile, this thread is great.

Thanks, Steve! It's great to see you, too. How've you been? I hope the health issues you were having the last time we talked are well behind you, buddy.

Meanwhile, on the topic of TMI -- I was hoping to get a little, ahem, sumthin' sumthin' this weekend, but my plans fell through. D'oh!

They do nothing at all for me. First of all. Gross. Secondly. Plastic. Thirdly... what if it gets stuck?!

My friend was raving about them, he hasn't got laid for a loooong time. (Nor have I, come to think of it.)
