   I think much of this "revolution" was brought up by the Internet. Of course, it is like a two-edged knife, but it made it possible for you to get in touch with people in the same boat as yourself, to realize that you are alone in the world, and made your encounters much easier for all I know. I am in my fifties, and I clearly observe that many men at my age are now opening up for a wider and more pleasurable sexuality, thanks to the Internet.

   Urbano, I think you are right about the internet. Young people are more emboldened to be themselves because they see others on the net being open about their sexuality.

   The net is quite the blessing alright, across the board. I personally don't use it for meeting people, as I'm
   lucky enough to live in a city w/a large population & many gay bars. Before the net I tried the personal ads,
   & had bad luck w/that. I suspect net dating to be similar, in that a lot of lying goes on. I know pics can be
   exchanged, but it's just not for me.

   Above and more....with roots in the whole sexual revolution. With the idea of free love permeating society, the continuing push for the edge about what is "shocking"...sex outside of marriage...multiple partners...3 ways...and more... It isn't surprising that the edge of same sex activity became attractive to those who get stimulated by shocking others. That's only one element, of course, but when the "cool" and "edgy" people are into it...that has an impact. And too Hollywood has played a major part by writing more and more gay storylines/characters, so the images are there in the home. And, of course, with loads of sympathetic characters, ephasizing their normalacy, and mocking/belittling those who are religious. With people in the West now holding as a fundamental value "don't judge", and in fact demanding it of others, most people seem to have moved to a place of recognition that it's there without feeling a need to shut it down.

   Alexfromusa, you are right on about the media, movies, TV shows, etc., moving people's perceptions of gay people. They see them as "normal" appearing (with exceptions) and not much of a threat. And I love the value of not judging others. There is no person on the planet who is perfect and therefore entitled to judge others. I grew up being judged and sure as heck won't accept it now. Thanks for your thoughts.

   I am not sure if I should bring this up here. Anyway...

   Even the Christ said "Don't judge or else you will be judged."

   But all the Church keeps doing is judging, labelling and accusing, etc... That is why I think the Church is simply

   a parody. Not an establishment to be taken seriously.

   Soory, I don't mean to offend anyone...

   No offense taken. I believe religion is a private journey between myself and God.

   And I have to say that I never, ever thought as a kid that I would be talking so openly to this group of guys who seem perfectly wonderful and who share the same, ahem, interests! I am thankful to "know" you all.

   Ok, pleased to make your acquaintance. I am José.

   And just one more thing. Actually, my main interest is not muscle per se, but the sexual pleasure or joy that can be

   derived from or experienced with muscle or rather with a muscled man who would ideally be in love with me, even if just

   for a while, lol.
