Masti With Friends

I bet western men are too scared stiff to do that..... but they sure long to do it...

How many western straights can do this in their college?

If they can't, how can they call themselves men?

Men have so much fun together...

Men in the West don't know what they're missing... or perhaps they do, but what can they do...

This is not natural for real men -- when men's spaces are strong they don't do it...

But in heterosexualized societies, they have to do it in order to be accepted as 'masculine'. It's so funny, they have to queer themselves to be counted as masculine.

This doesn't come naturally to straight men. They have to be trained to be socially intimate with women. God..... do real men hate to do it!

Not afraid to be intimate even in formal settings

Indian men are not afraid to be intimate even in formal events. This is probably from a south Asian even in the West somewhere.

Straight boys on a beach

What kind of masculine males are afraid of intimacy with men -- those who are scared of being amidst men -- like western effeminized straight males, who only look masculine by pumping up iron but inside they're completely queered... after all that forced intimacy with women they don't even need naturally...

crowded men's spaces

In traditional societies like India, in crowded men's spaces such as this train, straight men's sexual need for men finds secret, unacknowledged vent, at least superficially, but it can be felt in these spaces, even when it doesn't have a voice, and vanishes in heterosexual spaces.

Pehlwan

This is a set of pictures taken with no PP work, one morning at sunrise near Scindia Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).

Prithviraj and Vinod are two wrestlers (Pehlwan in Hindi), they are trained by a Russian coach.

The gym where we did those pictures is facing river Ganga which gave this vivid colors.

(The one in red langot is Vinod Pehlwan, while the one in white langot is Prithviraj)

In non-Western Russia, men can still be intimate with each other

There was a time when men could dance with other men in the West without being called 'gay'.

Soviet Comrades Found these pics the other day on some Russian sites specializing in Soviet-period military photos. I've tried to select a sample that could be of interest to our members. Personally, I find these little insights into how the other side really lived during the Cold War to be fascinating. If any of our members would like to dig deeper into the subject, give a shout and I'll try to find some of the original links.
