A world without privacy.

Gaydar.

Why? Is it coz u iz gay?

Gays are good ordinary people.
I think what would be more useful is a peadodar. I certainly was never fooled by Savile, and there have been people in my life I'd take immediate exception to; the sort of people that you'd never leave your children with. This is harder to verify, and might be faulty. When it comes to children though, you don't take any chances.

Hobbes, you have one up on Veggie and me. My gaydar was terrible until I got to know more people. I wouldn't have picked Stephen Fry back in the day either.

When I was around 11 or so a local boy told me how he was trying to explain to his mother what a "poofter" was (the main insult for "gay" in Sydney at the time). Later in the day they were in a department store when his mum saw an obviously gay man and said in a loud voice, "PETER, IS THAT A POOFTER?". Yikes.

I can always tell when a man is looking me over. So generally I can tell a gayer almost immediately I meet him. TV stars are not so easy as meeting in real life.
Women are not so easy, as if they do not check you out, that does not mean they are gay, they might just be on an off day; men tend to have a uniform libido.

Not all gay men are interested in all men. I don't know why straight men assume that. Men seem to have this in-born idea that they are irresistible to both sexes. And the worst offenders for 'checking women out' are straight women. There's a way in which some women look you up and down in a split second (and they think you don't notice), and it's not to see if they fancy you either.

All men think about sex every five seconds. When I meet a gay man he usually checks me out, whether he is interested in me or not. Straight men, if they have any sort of libido check out all women if they are not too old. You might not notice but they do.
When it comes to gay men they do not feel they have to hide, like a man to a woman.

I'm not saying it has to be about fancying. And I see women do what you say all, they might not even know they themselves are doing it, but a micro-second glance past the cock area does not go so unnoticed as you think it does.

This is mostly about the gaze. When I say "checking you out" I do not mean looking over your figure.

Oh please, you have to look at someone when you talk to them. I remember my grandmother being very put-out by a man she happened to end up sitting next to at a meeting. She made some casual comment to him about nothing (she would talk to everyone) and he looked at her shocked and said 'I'm MARRIED!' She said he was an unattractive little twit, but apparently he thought he was so irresistible that he had to go around announcing to every woman he encountered that he was 'taken'.

By the way, it's kinda curious how this thread has become a talk about sexuality... that's why I feel lonely.

[henry quirk]

Bluntly: when I'm sittin' on the john, I got no interest in havin' an audience, especially pervs who get off on such things. And surely, I got no interest in watchin' other folks attend to their functions.

So, put 'em on every street corner, in every public building, if you must, just keep your cameras and microphones outta my house.

"What are you hiding, Henry?"

My poop, for starters...whatever else, not your bee's wax

[TSBU]

Small penis, doggie style, and poop. That's what people hide? Nope, I'll tell you what they hide: Their stupidity.

Every day, all arround the globe. Honest people, to the core, are strange. It's a world where everybody sell a lie about themselves, it's a world where we asume that politicians and adds are lies, where we know that religions are just controlling masses, where soldiers go to kill themselves in war, where we know how business work...and everybody is worried and ashamed about sex.
And it's easy to see it: Spam is about "hot to make your penis big", spam is about "how to get rich without doing anything usefull", generally the add goes with "the secret they want to hide you". This is a world when they want to see no poop, no slaves, just pretty colors, where you can see porn, but not the life of the actors/actress... and people get mad, they like it.

"Some people are just private". Nope. some people are poop, and they want to hide poop.

"I'll tell you what they hide: Their stupidity."

Guilty as charged.

Question is: why are you so hot to be privy to my stupidity?

I'm not sure why you gave me that anecdote. Maybe you just didn't read what I said or misunderstood it.

So you ain't getting any?

Sex and privacy are closely related topics, no wonder why its taken that direction.

[Hobbes' Choice]

...and everybody is worried and ashamed about sex. p.

I'm not.

I'm an alien.
