Hi Tailia
Agree with what you said at the top of this thread about the demise of the "Pretty Boys" thread. It seems to be the nature of threads (those that have any legs) that they go through cycles, having lucid high points and then dribbling on into obscurity. Well it might come round again we'll see.
I like the beauty and ambiguity of androgyny, and it's changeability. I posted a few pics that I found attractive or fascinating in some way and I loved your 'creative' posts on that thread, they were witty, salacious, heartfelt, and downright horny!
Recently 'Sweetshemale' joined the forum. She was totally cool about finding her pics on "Pretty Boys" (I'd posted them without a clue who it was), and she enjoyed the fantasy you'd spun around the pics. Well, she's a smart girl and enjoying being attractive, and finding out where she's going with that and her identity. And so she should!
It made me think about posting pics here. It's one thing to recycle pics of people modelling in a porn context that were made for public consumption and another to post people's pics that weren't intended for that context. I'm not saying it's right or wrong and it's not my intention to preach on this, certainly if a pic finds it's way onto the net then it's in the public arena. But for me personally it made me have qualms. I can't know whether someone would be happy to find their pics here on this forum or even how pics of them came to be on the net; some may be revelling in a moment, or enjoying showing off, some may be nervously trying something out, some may be anxious or tormented about transition - whatever. Anyhow that's just how I feel about it right now.
The other reason that the thread clicked for me is because it took me back to my own time as a "pretty boy". I had a good time messing around with things, enjoying the attentions of both women and men, not really sure of what I was doing but it was vivid. I had one fab girlfriend (ten years older than me) who used to enjoy putting my lipstick on and other things!
