World War II soldiers bonding naked

New Republic article on the book:

"My Buddy: World War II Laid Bare"

SO many men were hot. I blame food fillers and auto-everything for the state of The Male is today.

[quote] I blame food fillers and auto-everything for the state of The Male is today.

As a child of the 60s, I remember summers where mothers would shoo us out of the house right after breakfast and tell us not to come back until dinnertime. We'd ride bikes, play in fields, swim at the local pool, and generally not sit still all day, save for maybe an ice cream break at Baskin-Robbins.

Daily PE classes all the way through high school. There were no school buses unless you lived more than a mile away, and moms didn't pick us up from school unless the weather was really bad. Normally, we walked (and, at the risk of sounding like a cliche, yes, it was uphill).

Nowadays, kids sit in front of their computers or smartphones for hours at a time and get fat. There were only one or two chubby kids in my classes at school, now it seems like the norm.

And young men are so afraid of being seen naked, they do the silly towel dance at the gym. Back then, any guy who tried that in gym class would've come back from the shower to find his clothes hanging from an overhead pipe.

R3 People are mentally and physically insecure, these days, paralyzed by all these anxieties.

I have a straight friend from England. One day I was perusing his facebook pictures - and was shocked to see so many pics of him and his friends naked. I asked him about it: "What's with all the naked pictures of you and your friends?" His reply, simply, was "Rugby."

Apparently naked horesplay in Rugby is the thing.

R5 God bless England.

Ruggers seem to be the only men these days who don't give a fuck about nudity.

R5 How did you find these straight friends from England who play naked rugby games?

nakedrugger, com

naked buddies can be friends. gay men could learn this

R10 If you can play naked rugby with your male friends and not get distracted, you're more competitive than me.

sure, aren't we all that way?

R12 I'm very confused.

I'm sure you are

R14 Why are there so many gay people on this site? Am I giving off a vibe?!!!! Have they followed me?!!!

Dang, R1. I would think I died and went to heaven!

R16 Men asses were a lot flatter back then.

OP is trying to hide other threads by bumping up the remains of 2015.

I just see a lot of nice, natural bodies. Great to see how comfortable they were with one another. They were war buddies. These men would die for you. That's a deep, incredible bond not found in daily life.

R16 is worst than Stalin

Oh dear.

Sparkle is the WORST princess ever.

Sparkle eats liverWURST

Conchita WURST has a cock.

if you don't see a doctor that's sore on your penis is going to get WORSE.

GEDDIT

Did they ever line up and measure? I bet small guys were always made fun of in the showers and what not, but taken in jest. Nowadays young people change in a stall at the gym.

They're not my type.

Another thread from 2015. Trump does stupid stuff that gets reported on DL and... here we go again... erotic threads from 2015 appear to drive the new threads down.

Please don’t reply to these posts. They are diversion tactics.

I like the thread, R24. STFU.

Cell phones cameras have messed up a lot of locker room habits. Too bad.

Ignore the hall monitor at R24 and feel free to reply to this post.

I love these bodies; lean, fit, and natural, unlike the contrived, super bulked up aesthetic that is so popular among men today.

And I don’t think the asses in the shower pic at R16 are flat. The two on the ends, in particular, have some meat on them, giving a nice, subtle curve.

I didn’t bump this thread but I do love it.

I fucking hate hall monitors like R24. Thank God for the FF and ignore buttons!

love being men

Is this a glitch?

"Cemented" by dried spunk in many instances...

R17 All right, Negative Nancy. Only you could find fault in these hot photos of happier and hotter times.

Another link from 2015. Haven't you gays go work to do?

^^ No, because of the Trump Virus

STOP ENABLING THE IDIOT THREAD BUMPER.

New here. What does "bum" mean/do?

should be "bump"

R35 I didn’t bump (or bum) this thread, but who the fuck appointed you hall monitor? If someone is interested in this topic, who cares if a thread is revived? Did someone force you to read it?

r38, guess it's too much trouble for you to answer my question "what does bump" mean, or do? I sincerely don't know and would like to.

R39 bump means to bring a thread back to life that has been inactive for a long time. Some people here seem to think it’s an unpardonable sin to do so. I have no idea why. If you don’t like a thread, you don’t have to open it. It’s not like we have a limited amount of space here.

If you don't bump a thread some queen will ask you why you didn't do a search. It's a no-win situation.

I wonder if the OP of this was the Towel Dance troll, you know the Very Eldergay who is always complaining about how "men aren't comfortable being nude around each other anymore which means that the hot young straight guys at my gym won't let me stare at their cocks in the locker room"

We have not heard from him in a while.
