Gendered objectification

I think Playgirl might have reprinted it at some point, because I am pretty sure my mother had Playgirl but not Cosmopolitan. And I’m also quite sure it was Cosmo that first printed it.

She also subscribed to “Cat Fancy”, which had a parody centerfold of a cat posed like Burt. It was VERY iconic.

Objectified in the sort of way like, “a good suit is like lingerie for a female audience”? As a straight guy, you are gonna have to spell it out for me to get it. Lol.

See but why is he shiny and hairless?
I always feel bad for dudes that you KNOW are hairy but in hollywood/tv-land have to be hairless.
Like Joe Manganiello, dude is Italian! That is a lot of waxing!

He was so very delicious in the first season of Poldark. I watched it like 5 times. Too bad he’s a butt in season 2.

Yes. I feel so, so sorry for his waxing problems. Has anyone ripped his pubic hairs?

I’m specifically talking about the way the camera treated Hannibal.
The way it lingered and panned his body, it was done in a way that is usually reserved for women, it makes the every day sensual and erotic, but in Hannibal it was used on a man. Which was fun to watch if your like looking at men, but possibly offputting if you don’t.

As per a recent post, BBS is primarily male. I’m truly baffled by the lack of male interaction here, or maybe I am not. Who knows until the dialogue starts?

I’m reading, but I don’t have anything to say. Best I could come up with “I’m glad this is here” but I didn’t think that alone was worth posting.

That certainly is worth posting!

(And btw, has anyone pointed out before what an awesome handle that is, Emo Pinata? I’ve loved it like, forever.)

Well my wife likes tall guys with a strong chin dressed like dad stereotypes. And for some reason she struggles to express why she thinks a clean-shaved Ben Affleck is so gorgeous. She also is big into eyes and plump lips on a guy, though I’m trying to remember her more recent TV crushes. I know she hates tattoos and untamed hair.

I suppose the only substantial thing I can think of of how much she really enjoies man on man action, which isn’t talked about much. I know that her friends will talk about it, and a lot of guys dismiss it as a thing, but I really don’t know how prevalent it is.

She hates porn because anyone she thinks is attractive enough to be in the business is doing the weird highly produced shit like spitting on each other and the long list of other weird porn things even I don’t understand, and revenge porn taints watching more amateur efforts for both of us.

You’re right; it was Cosmo, and that spawned Playgirl, which ran a reprint.

Good catch.

They totally do that in SPN too.

If you insist!

Thanks! It’s from a really stupid TV commercial from years ago and it just stuck as an online handle when I wanted to be more private.

She needs to be watching Sense8 if she hasn’t already. There’s even a female character who loudly proclaims her love of gay male porn.
