There's been this pervasive little myth going around since the beginning of time that naked women are attractive and naked men are not. This is a big bunch of BS, and it is time to let it go. Let it go! Bring on the male nudity!
It's an argument that's been used to excuse the presence of female nudity in the absence of male nudity for centuries. Oh, if only I could erase that Vanity Fair cover from my mind forever! You know the one, with Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley lounging in their birthday suits posing with a very dressed Tom Ford. Where, Where I ask you was the corresponding cover featuring naked Ben Affleck and Matt Damon relaxing with a fully dressed female "fashion superstar"? (as Tom Ford is described by MSNBC)
The naked male form is every bit as attractive as the female of the species. More male nudity immediately, please! You can hardly be an actress in Hollywood without proving your sex appeal with some racy magazine cover. Yet, I have clearly not seen enough famous male skin. For every moment of female nudity, why not male equality? Shouldn't male actors want to similarly show us the goods?
I suspect two culprits. Male bashfulness and the notion that only men are visually aroused. Ha!
Of course, when men weld the power, as they historically have, they aren't the naked ones. I read once that the truly powerful always have on more clothes, not less. Well, in this age of ever burgeoning equality, it's time to turn the tide. For every billboard featuring an odd pile of naked women inexplicably selling perfume, I suggest a similar billboard of equally naked and just as artfully posed naked men. Selling, Oh, Who cares really... but, uh, watches? Cologne? Surely, if naked women sell perfume, naked men can sell just about anything.
Now there's a vacuum commercial I'd like to see. Show me how it handles, baby.
But let's get down to the meat of it, shall we? Let's talk about the naked male form.
Let me assure you right now that the first time I see a guy naked, the last thing I'm thinking about is his:
A. car
B. income
C. house
D. any of that kinda crap
No; I am simply enjoying the view. I might be enjoying:
A. his butt
B. his arms
C. his chest
D. his [insert your favorite word for The Goods here]
And, yes, of course, his face, hair, lips, eyes... and cheekbones. Have I ever mentioned I'm crazy about cheekbones?
Look, I concede that there probably really are women turned on by power or the ability of a man to take care of them. I just don't really get it. I can take care of myself, and I'm looking for an equal to share my life with, not a king to run my household including me.
No, among all the important things like honesty, ability to communicate, work ethic, romance, etc., I'm also, absolutely looking for someone who I enjoy naked. It's really quite simple.
And it *is* about how sexually appealing and attractive and yummy men look sans clothing. The male form is just as attractive as the female form.
With or without shrinkage.
