There are a lot of Toyota Camrys out there - doesnt mean I want to look at pictures of them.

 

The typical poster, or wallpaper, or calendar shot is not of a Camry.

 

And MB, not all of us are chubs - at 46 I still enjoy working quite hard at what Ive got (not even approaching perfection, but certainly not a chub! LOL)

 

(unfortunatley my other passion for food seems to counter my exercise passion!)

[HelperElfMissy 42]

Well....maybe I am biased...coz I work damn hard and still there is more of me than I would like there to be. Not all of us are blessed with the genetics of 'slim' - and not all of us who grow older and chubbier are sitting on the couch eating bags full of Macca's.

 

But you are quite right Gareth - regardless of the disproportion I still prefer to look at the minority in pictures.

 

I choose to listen to excellence in voice, watch excellence in dance - and view stunning bods in naked photo's. Nothing wrong with that.

 

MY POINT was not justifying what is being done in these photo's, or saying I like them - it was simply pointing out why THEY think they are doing them..

[thursday 1]

A lot of chubby is normal in western societies and increasingly in developing societites. Don't get embarrassed about it.

[HelperElfMissy 42]

no...seriously - a friend is rocking up here at 8.20 and we are off power walking...weights was yesterday.

 

Embarrassed is an interesting word in this case.

I almost responded immediately with - I am not embarrassed. But I am not sure that is actually true. I get really angry and annoyed at my own body for not doing what I want it to, I get disappointed at working really hard for really long periods of time and seeing little outward change...fitness I see, but a decent size loss...nah ah.

 

I may well be a little embarrassed. Not so much of my physical appearance (far too emotionally enlightened for that - rofl) - but of my failure to make changes to that shape despite intense effort.

 

However none of THAT makes me want to look at pictures of people MY size and shape in nudie pictures!!!

FUMING villagers have torn down a fake signpost advertising a notorious DOGGING site.
Pranksters put up the spoof notice on a busy bypass near Gloucester.

The official looking sign was pointing towards Barrow Wake viewpoint — a spot famous for public sex acts.

Dogging. What a pleasent passtime.

Quote:

A Chechenyan woman wearing a burka on an Indian flight sparked an emergency response when aircrew refused to believe she was not a male terrorist or criminal in disguise.

Airline staff thought that there was something not quite right about Eleonara Irbaieva as she made her journey on the Calcutta-bound airliner.

When it landed at a special 'isolation bay', the plane she was travelling on was quickly surrounded by India's elite Quick Response Team and the paramilitary Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Intelligence officials were alerted.

But four hours later after intense questioning and an intimate search by female CISF officers, the crew were left red-faced as her gender and identity were confirmed.

Mrs Irbaieva, 45, and her husband Artur Aslant Bekov, 50, were travelling from Chechenya on valid passports and visas, and their arrest brought swift protests from Russian embassy officials who demanded an explanation.

India is currently on high alert for terrorist attacks in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games in October, and Mrs Irbaieva's build and behaviour aroused suspicions. Her strapping physique appeared to be a man's, crew claimed, while she drank water throughout the flight without lifting her hijab. When other passengers and crew were said to have panicked, the flight steward decided she was just too well-built to be a woman, and alerted air traffic controllers.

Anonymous, age and sex unspecified
Dear Carole, Why are women so obsessed with the size of a man's cock – wanting ones 6 inches and over and kicking others aside when they really should be concentrating on the emotional connection and love being shared, putting the size of the man's cock right out of her mind?

Carole replies:
The origins of the primate sex drive go back more than 60m years to the late Mesozoic era when the first primate evolved. A lot of sex has taken place since then, and a significant proportion has been motivated by female choice between rival males.1 Female primates can experience multiple orgasms, and it has been theorised that ancestral hominid females sought out males who would sexually satisfy them. Through the mechanism of sexual selection, this will have increased penis size and altered structure.

Today, the average erect gorilla penis is 3cm (1.25 inches) long, the average chimp or bonobo penis comes in at around 8cm and the average human penis stands at around 13cm. Most primates, including chimpanzees, have a penis bone and achieve erections through muscle contraction.2 The human penis has evolved the unusual system of vasocongestion to achieve erection, making the erect organ far more flexible than that of other primate species.

This unique adaptation is thought to have been selected through female mate choice, and by the time Homo erectus arrived on the scene, the hominid penis was significantly longer, fatter and more bendy than our ape cousins'. It has even been theorised that bipedalism evolved in humans to allow the fashionably new, larger, flexible penis to be displayed to discerning females.3

Interestingly, while the human penis is the biggest of all the ape species in length and girth, both in absolute terms and as a proportion of body size, the human testes are not. As a proportion of overall body size, chimp and bonobo testes are twice as large as human testes, whereas gorilla testes are half the size. Why?

Correlations can be found between primate mating systems and male genital anatomy.4 In multi-male/multi-female groups, males must compete to reproduce and frequently the competition takes place inside the female reproductive tract. The more sperm a male produces and ejaculates inside a female the greater the probability that one of his will fertilise the ovum. Female chimps or bonobos in oestrus often mate with several different individuals, so males must reproductively compete in this way and larger testes will therefore confer greater reproductive fitness.

By contrast, female gorillas live in harems and don't often get a chance to exercise a choice between mates, though occasionally a female and a male from outside the group may risk it. The impressive 200kg (400lb) silverback gorilla does have the smallest penis and testes of all male apes, but his massive canines and biceps and his controlling, jealous temper allow him to intimidate and fight off potential competitors.

Human testis size indicates that males evolved under conditions in which their sperm competed inside females, but perhaps not to the same extent as chimp sperm. But the larger human penis suggests that hominids needed to keep females with choice sexually satisfied. Ancestral females would have experienced a sexual freedom denied in Western cultures today and it has been suggested that our ancestors went through a period of matriarchy and enhanced female choice.5

When compared with patriarchal chimps, the matriarchal bonobo is a far more sex-oriented ape. Enthusiastic females initiate both hetero- and homosexual activity, particularly when aggression begins to surface, resulting in satisfied, contented and peaceful bonobos. Patriarchy, on the other hand, correlates with a lack of openly displayed female choice.

Women with choice are not all "obsessed with the size of a man's cock". Women are as aware as men that to build a stable relationship you need trust, shared interests and the ability to keep each other amused. But a woman is not going to "put the size of a man's cock right out of her mind", because she can't. Females have an evolved interest in the size of a man's penis, which has been sexually selected for its size and shape. But humans are also selected for creativity – we are highly innovative, imaginative apes. Accordingly, women's minds can be aroused by creativity and being sexually imaginative can be physically arousing, adding satisfying metaphorical inches to one's love life.
