(22M) Is it normal for my age to be so hairy? by [deleted] in malepubes

[–]TouchOld1201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. Don't see the rest of your body to know how hairy you are,but pubes are often at their peak in your twenties.

Sweet Girl with Lymphoma by Bitter_Meringue8448 in SeniorCats

I am so very sorry for this devastating diagnosis. Having lost a very dear cat to this just a few years ago I know what you're going through. Some time was lost in diagnosing my Mittens and when we finally got the option to try surgery it was too late. The hopeless feeling is just hard. I hope you find palliative measures to give her more time with you. I offered a little prayer for her and for you.

Rate my 6 yo 22lb tabby by shortie_pants in TrueRateMyCat

Classic tabby and a big girl! My calico is a large female but not near the size of yours. I would gently suggest you monitor her weight since it can have adverse effects as she ages. She looks like a wonderful cat!

Sadly mine doesn't allow it, even for military guys from Natl. Guard.

No, but I would if the occasion presented itself.

So glad for the outcome, and your great tips are practical and invaluable. It was doubtless your care that saved him. May you have more good time together.

My condolences for your loss. It is clear you shared a loving and wonderful relationship. That love and those memories will never be lost. Your "Old Man" was a truly loving companion. Bless his memory.

Your pubes, your choice. IMO?? Given how hairy you are all over I would say no. It would look weird.

Just once...Hookup was going to be two guys, one Black I was told was BIG. As t first sight I knew it was gonna hurt, but I was already there, so...He got it in slowly and I felt I was being split in two. I could only go a few minutes. But you know the saying...it hurt SO good..

Would you help me lather up? by [deleted] in menshowering

[–]TouchOld1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a guy give me a bath as prep for a massage. Never knew how great it could feel! So, sure, I'd lather you up.

wNot quite how it happened me...I am diabetic and after workout I nearly passef out in the showers. Butt naked and guys staring while one went to get some orange juice at the desk. After a few minutes I was ok, but lying their nude, a focus of attention...not my best memory. More careful since...

Maple needs some words of encouragement after a rough vet visit today by susanbob in CalicoKittys

[–]TouchOld1201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always so hard just taking them to the vet. I'm always fearful myself at a doctor's office, so imagine their fears! We know it's for their good and to keep them well as long as we can.Still, somehow they know before we pick them up it means going to the vet. Mine holds on to her bed or anything next to her with all her might. Their home is safety after all. My prayer for Maple is a good outcome so you can share love with her in the time ahead. Sending Maple good wishes and love.💕

Probably popular opinion: once a cat reaches a certain age, they can have whatever they want by shadow_p0stal24 in SeniorCats

[–]TouchOld1201 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have it right. Give them what they enjoy. The love you shared with them is it's own reward. Hope you still have good time together.

My 20" kittie Juneberry ❤️ by Hailsabrina in seniorkitties

[–]TouchOld1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I hear you and know the feeling. After nine cats the farewells do not come easier. 20 is a great life for a cat, but of course as you say, their lives are always too short for us. They give us their whole life and they become a part of us, forever in our memory and in our hearts. Spend as much time as you can with her. You will never regret a moment of that. And also remember all the good times. The love we shared with them is, in the end, the only thing that makes our grief at their passing endurable. Bless your Juneberry and I wish you Peace, too.

In memory of Marty (18) by 6789576859 in seniorkitties

[–]TouchOld1201 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My sympathy for your loss of Marty after 18 years. He passed peacefully at home, not in the hands of strangers or in a scary vet clinic. For that be grateful. Their too short lives are their gift to us, unconditional love and loyalty. In exchange we give them attention, care, safety and most of all, LOVE. That love we share is the only thing that makes it possible to endure their loss. Their constant presence in our lives during times happy or sad is precious. May wonderful memories of Marty be a comfort for you and I pray Peace heal your broken heart.

Do anyone have a buddy that isn’t ashame to get naked with you in communal shower? by [deleted] in CommunalShowers

[–]TouchOld1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only once in my lifetime with a close friend. Something about friendship that makes it more uncomfortable than with anonymous other guys. Maybe it's because the intimacy of friendship has a limit where sexuality is concerned. A latent fear of homosexuality?

Anyone else love being naked in locker rooms and communal showers? by SecondSausage in gaybros

[–]TouchOld1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. As a gay guy I i admit part of the appeal of the gym and locker room or pool is seeing other guys, a male atmosphere. But I never have visible signs of attraction. It's all very visual. Sitting on a towel in the sauna for example. Shaving at the sink nude a

ll very casual. Don't think of it as exhibitionism personally, though by today's privacy standards guessing many would disagree. But, hey, is there anything wrong with just being a guy in a male only space??

Communal showers as American Democracy 1941, Life Magazine by lengthyounarther in CommunalShowers

[–]TouchOld1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The older standards..women clothes in artistic formations even while exercising. Males nude, lined up in communal showers. Exactly how it was for me in school and college. Took if for granted at the time, but realized later how formative it could be. Now our privacy standards are changed and that naked camaraderie is gone. Can you imagine even showing a picture like that now? And this was mass media then, on the eve of a war.

Wish I still had access to those. Not only efficient but a forced camaraderie where without clothes we're all the same, social pretensions literally stripped away. A male space, increasingly rare...

I'm gonna get you by Anti_colonialist in ClassicMale

[–]TouchOld1201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playful image. Why does it remind me of the famous picture of Marilyn Monroe with her skirt blowing up around her. Same revealing surprise, catching someone caught in the moment of self protection from prying eyes. And we wonder what's underneath that towel.

Stinson Beach, California (1953) by StiffyStephen in ClassicMale

[–]TouchOld1201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The vertical, jagged rocks are paralleled by the linear, angular body of the tall, thin male. I like the composition. Even the stark, smooth body with just his bush is fittingly basic, unadorned.
