A. That's my point exactly. Straight females are ok with -- or at least don't complain about -- the endless barrage of female pics. Yet the males complain about the male pics. I wasn't making a sociological proclamation, just pointing it out. B. I don't have the energy to deconstruct why I think this is a lazy and facile argument (nor is this the thread), but I think the quality of a photograph is more dependent on its lighting and composition than its subject. Not to pick on Ballsack (wait, exactly to do that), but he posted a picture that was basically just a splayed vagina without context. I refuse to buy that that picture has more aesthetic merit than a well-composed picture of a naked man. I think there's something else at play here. Not that this messageboard is unique, but there ARE some places where the male form is treated quite differently, even by straight men. The map is not the territory, and all that. WITH ALL THAT SAID, SHOULD I OPEN A BOTTLE OF WINE.
Jesus fucking christ, finding internet comics (the random ones people pust to reddit etc.) is hard as shit. They are basically unsearchable.

Score another one for Ryan North. ohnorobot, which is his software for searching comics that smbc, qwantz, asofterworld and some others use, makes things so much easier. More comics should use it, I agree they're hard to search. I was surprised how easy it was to find you. You'd think there'd be more than just the one Frank in Connecticut, but nope.
Since you are the closest thing to a gay* here, Ill just say for most dudes it's not homophobia that drives the reaction. It is just a very visceral reaction to seeing something that is disturbing or gross, sort of like peoples reaction to 2 girls 1 cup or seeing pictures of car wreck fatalities. It is almost a uncontrollable physiological reaction. I'd say most of the comments you got were based in that then some actual homophobia. No one wants to see two girls snow ball a turd and no one wants to see two dudes boning. * or what ever part of the LGBT community you consider yourself. Night Train and Wild Irish Rose don't come in boxes last I heard.
I've got some energy! So let's lay out some realistic facts here: Most guys here are straight and masturbate to porn. Said porn is going to contain dicks, sometimes many dicks. More than that, bigger dicks are more in demand than average sized dicks. So in other words, your typical guy wants to see some other guy's dick when he's tugging on his own. Nobody comments about this. Yet simply even getting a glimpse of a dick in any context except porn is revulsive. Whore logic indeed.
I think your comparison between a picture of a naked guy and scat porn/car fatalities is pretty revelatory. That goes far beyond, "I'm not sexually interested in this thing" and into pathological territory. You're absolutely wrong about nobody wanting to see two guys having sex; in fact, lots of lesbians are huge consumers of gay porn. I don't think that the visceral negative reaction can be explained away by biology; In general, the pictures I post are of relatively attractive people in near-peak physical condition. If you look at that and get "car wreck fatality", there's something going on there, I don't know what else to tell you. To make an obvious point, plenty of cultures (Greek most notably) found the male form to be of the highest aesthetic value. Now they were probably on the sodomy side of a scale of 1 to Lance Bass, but it's pretty clear that the ev psych explanation of "well women have beauty men have status" is...lacking.
There is plenty of gay porn out there. For obvious reasons, it's not mixed in with straight porn, but if you're a guy that fucks for money, odds are that it's gay porn.
You can run a google image search by the link at images.google.com just copy the hyperlink, or drag it into the search box.
I mean nobody as in nobody here, I realize there are plenty of gay dudes who'd really love to see some gay dudes fucking. Im not sure if physiological is the right word I am looking for, my comparison between scat and car wrecks is just the same feeling I get seeing those as I do seeing two dudes fucking. Like someone shot you in the gut, I guess revulsion is a good word. But it seems only to be connected to that act. As seeing greek statue or even watching some big dicked dude boning in straight porn doesn't have that impact. It is odd one picture produces such a harsh involuntary reaction and another doesn't.
