No. Not a bit.
I am completely capable of looking at both men and women and saying " they're hot" without a single flicker of desire.

You just contradicted yourself, I think.
flan

No. I didnt.

You are simply unable to separate reality from porn.

Let me put it this way.

If that were my son in any of the pictures on this thread, I would be proud of him.

Tinydancer · Guru

Looking at some one dressed to ride their bike is in no way the same as watching a film of people having sex. If you can't see the difference it's no wonder you're so quick to celebrate depravity. In your world normal is bad and freakish is good. Nice little glimpse of your anything goes morality.

Good for you.

So you don't mind other women looking at him in less than a bathing suit & thinking: "He's HOT!"

Which one of the pictures on this thread is less than a bathing suit?

And do you really NOT know the difference between reality and porn?

Someone will find my kids to be sexually attractive.

It happens.

If it didnt, none of us would be here.

If and when that happens, I can be sure there won't be cameras, lighting, fluffers, or anyone else around.

The slings that YOU posted. They leave little to the imagination.

Seriously, have you never heard the old adage "Sex sells?"

The "reality" is that ANY model is posed, made up, shot in the most flattering lighting, etc.

So, looking at the men’s photos posted on this thread, I do not find them pornographic. There is no pornography issue in this thread in my perception. Photos like this are readily seen in and on many magazines and advertisements. Apparently there are people on this thread who have issues with the semi-naked human body, but to call these images pornographic is quite the stretch.

While I am not ashamed of my body, (sure, for some it may be nice to be all buff and chiseled), if I wanted to look like the men’s photos in this thread, I would do it for myself, not so I can be accused of posing “pornographically” (as some consider here) for a photo shoot in a men’s health magazine (for example). And I myself do not watch pornography and have never had the desire to.

Moving on, I have posted before on this thread that we have had eye candy threads before, but they did not devolve into this. Yes, we all have our opinions and project our personal issues into our daily lives. But why make it a daily battle to impose our beliefs on others and to always have to be right? Let it go.

Seriously, people, it’s an EYE CANDY thread. We are supposed to "that's hot" and “woo hoo” and “yeah!” and “ooooh” and and “squeeee”!

TrudyML · Guru

Squeeee!

It's NOT porn, but the comment that WYSIWYG made is apt.

Because, like you, don't know the difference between reality and porn.

Flan, why was it ok for you to bring my kids up, but when yours are brought in, it a "personal attack"?

In this thread? You brought up your kids. My kids were not attacked.

If you think ADVERTISING PHOTOS are "reality," I've got a bridge in New Mexico to sell you.

And YOU went with it.

But notice how I didn't flip out about it.

WYSIWYG · Guru

You're being ridiculous.

I look at my kids and see a beautiful young lady and two handsome young men.

When someone tells me I have pretty kids, it makes me happy.

Eye candy is pleasing to look at.

It isnt the same as looking at someone with lust.

You, like Flan, need to learn the difference.
- lilyofcourse

______________________________

For most people that I have ever come across, "eye candy" is to have those "If only I could, I definitely would" thoughts about. So I'd bet that for most people it definitely is the same as looking at someone with lust.

I don't disagree with you about it being pleasing to look at though, because it definitely is.

WYSIWYG · Guru

Actually, it was WYSIWYG who brought up my kids.

_________________________

Actually, it wasn't. I never mentioned your (specifically lilyofcourse's) kids. I said: "What if this were your child? This is someone's child. If it's wrong to think of your child like this..."

If you took that as "you" (specifically and exclusively, lilyofcourse), then that's on you.

He asked about my kids.

Only I didn't get offended, I didn't puff up like an old bull frog and I didn't call it personal attack.

YOU, on the other, do all of that.

So you know WYSIWYG's mind? You have a habit of speaking for other people but never having a statement of your own. So much for this independent thinking you claim to have (always insinuating no one who disagrees with you does). If you ever had a real thought of your own I'd faint.

You're the one who always claims that nobody cares what she thinks.

Evidently, you care quite a bit, if you feel the need to scrutinize and comment on every post ad nauseam.

Tinydancer · Guru

Except she doesn't think. She parrots you or now it's WYSIWYG's. Why do you both feel the need to act like children and then blame everyone else because you look foolish? Doesn't it get old?

Well if I have to explain why flan parrots people to get their approval then I guess I have to explain why you do it too. Being politically correct is just too tiring. I think what I think and if you (general you) don't like it well then find a new hobby.

So, I need approval, so I hitched my wagon to Flan, the most disliked poster here? Is that what you're claiming?

Are you going to run with that, or reconsider?

Jesus, that's funny.
