<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 122633, member: 27"]Whenever I watch something about the middle east , Im always struck by how much the men are affectionate with each other . Holding hands , hugging , etc. I think that until the 50s , it wasn't uncommon at all to see men in pics being affectionate with each other without the specter of homosexuality rearing its head . Look at service men pics from ww2 , lots of what would be considered suspect behavior through modern eyes . Even nude frolicking . Like taste , ones perception is subjective . Some folks might see 2 very close friends horsing around , others might see the love that dare not speak its name . I think its kinda sad that men ,who crave touch as much as a woman , are unable to express their affectation with some other male without being judged .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
