The Barber Who Shaves His Clients’ ⚽⚽ | Secret Services | Channel 4

In fitting in with today’s theme of the human body is great, good, and need only be covered when cold, I offer a video on manscaping. Many people will ask what is that. It is the removal of body hair from men. Some men don’t like the look or feel of body hair. Plus some people have such a large pubic bush you can’t find their penis. I don’t like a lot of body hair because the man who adopted me and his kids were abusing me, he had lots and they were growing body hair. Since I started on testosterone I started seriously growing body hair everywhere. I look like a walking fur mat, like Chewbacca. I hate it. Ron shaves what I can not reach.

You ask where did I first learn of cutting your armpit and public hair. When I was doing work a special forces reservist training weeks. I got an award for it. I was sitting there listening to these big rugged hairy southern and midwestern men talking about removing their body hair. I timidly asked why. They explained that one thing they are taught is to not smoke, bath with scented soaps, wear deodorant or basically do anything to cause an odor when on missions. That included cutting body hair especially armpit, butt hair, and the pubic hair because they hold and create odor. I started doing it and have all my life. If you have stinky pits, try removing the hair. One thing, if you are not use to being defurred, then don’t take it all the way off, leave a very thin layer as when you shave it tight it can itch growing back. That said I can now keep my pits and crotch totally clear with no grow back itch, I guess my body grew use to it. I imagine women who shave all the time have the same thing. Great video, they blur the man parts out sadly. But the guy still had a nice body. Hugs. Scottie,

Penises Are Funny Things | Shot By You | Channel 4 Documentaries

*** Serious trigger warning for those who are fundamentally against nudity or seeing male sex organs displayed causally in a non-erect state. There is nudity of both female and males, and as the title suggests this is about the penis. So no complaints if you watch and are shocked by it. However I do look forward to the comments on this. ****

To be clear I like penises! Hey I am a gay man, I have most of my life been pretty open about that. I like to see them. In my youth was the time when the huge modesty push was happening in the US, which I think is part of the big anti-trans bathroom issues. People have been indoctrinated that any sight of the nude body of another person is so horrible you are permanently damaged immediately and forever. There was a time when kids showered after PE in open showers. Now it is separate changing and showering stalls. Why, because we teach boys so little about their bodies they have horrible anxiety about their size and look of their own penis. They are also too scared of the subject to ask an adult be it teacher or parent. We adults cause this. When I was in a church boarding school the boys’ dorm had large open shower rooms. If you went to the YMCA it was the same. Nude swimming for males was the norm until the 1970s, and I would have loved it. Even if girls were present, which I have also posted happened to teen boys a lot and was normal in college. I have posted this when called out about it. I loved the nude beaches in Germany as a young guy in the Army. I have no trouble showing my body nude including my penis even at 61 years old, my problem getting nude these days is my rather protruding belly and out of shape body. Yes I know … all human bodies are grand works of art. But some are drawn much better than others. 😁🤣🤷‍♂️

I think a lot of the current regressive notions of sex and the human body are driven by the strident religious groups working hard to force their regressive social morals on everyone. I have posted about a woman in Utah who was changing in her closed garage and her son burst into the room and seen mommy with no top covering, so got a good view of mommy’s breasts. She was crucified by the legal establishment and labeled a sexual deviant.

To be clear I am talking casual nudity. Not sex in public. Yes that is a turn on for some, but seriously most of the people having public sex are not worth wasting time watching. Plus with so much free stuff on the interwebs, who needs to see it in public places where you might have to explain to your spouse what they are doing. That was a joke. But in places were even the sight of a nude body online is illegal now, it may have to return to for pay circus tent revival affairs, the return to the days of peep shows. Flashers are people who need help, and the thing to do is look and then laugh. I have heard it ruins their entire day.

I am talking people doing every day stuff nude, or clothing optional. I love that in some places you can bike ride or walk about nude. Why not. And yes I look and watch. Why not? The reason we have such sex hang ups is that we have turned one part of the body into a much bigger thing that in reality it is. That was not a joke. We as a society have made that body part a huge mystery never to be talked about. Boys are told never to touch it for pleasure … that is screwed up. They are made afraid of something wonderful for most of them.

Anyway enough intro, you have an idea of what is coming. Enjoy this thought look into the way society has been taught to view the penis. Hugs. Scottie

Why are penises so weird? And why are we so obsessed with how they look? Filmmaker Conor Reilly sets out to explore our complex relationship with willies – by planning to get naked himself. Can he overcome his greatest fear and strip off in front of his nearest and dearest (and a few strangers) in the name of documentary filmmaking?

Some clips from Rev. Ed Trevors

I was going to put this one lower in the list until I listened closely to the end. In fact I repeated the last half twice to make sure I understood what he was saying. He is the first, maybe only Christ bible pusher who has said openly and publically that conversion to Christianity, that believing in being a good person and treating others the way Jesus talked about lets you have a spot in his fold, his heaven. He specifically doesn’t mention atheists, but he has before. Hugs. Scottie

In the following video Rev Trevors makes clear he not only dislikes the prosperity gospel preachers, he dislikes the message they send for not being biblical. He totally shoots down the new push all these getting rich by preaching people are touting, Christian Nationalism and the idea that the US was founded as a Christian nation. He also at the end says something many not watch long enough to hear. He says that not only do these preacher claim things they can’t prove he also can’t prove his god exists. He says he teachers about faith, not proof. He says when someone claims that he worships an invisible daddy in the sky, he can’t prove god exists. He is OK with that. I really respect this man. Hugs. Scottie

In the one below this time he explains something very important a lot of people miss. Things that when the writers of the bible wrote about giants or Nephilim they meant fierce hard to beat warriors, not real bigger than humans giants. He explains that the writers used phrases and ideas from their own time. He is sort of admitting that the bible not to be taken literally and was written by humans for the people of that time. Hugs. Scottie

I did not think to write a blurb about the rest of the videos, I posted these before it dawned on me people might not watch them without understanding what they might be about. If you are wondering, fast-forward towards the end of each video to see if the video strikes a nerve and I would post it. Just remember I am an atheist and I enjoy listening to this guy. Hugs. Scottie

Let’s talk about Trump and Biden doing the same thing….

Thirsty … ?

Thirsty … ?

Thanks Ten Bears. In the US profit is king and everything is designed to make profit for the wealthy and push the costs on to the public, the people. These corporate people and their shareholders see the public not as people but as livestock to milk and use until there is nothing left to take from them, then dispose of them and get new ones. We the people are chicken that lay their eggs of profit and when we can’t lay any more they sell what is left for what they can get. They have raided every sector of US life, it is all for profit now. We need to take it back, put public back into public service. Hugs. Scottie

Tennessee’s Age Verification Bill Escalates Effort to Criminalize Adult Sites

https://www.xbiz.com/news/280759/tennessees-age-verification-bill-escalates-effort-to-criminalize-adult-sites

My dogs that love gravy! These laws are being driven by religion, more truthfully people that hid their true religious intent to get elected to then try to force their religious views on everyone else. To force everyone to live by their churches doctrines and their religious driven idea of what is moral or not. Do you understand this is a bunch of hyper religious people wagging their fingers at the people they dislike and telling them god sees what they are doing? This is our time of the temperance movement or the prohibition of alcohol that went so badly wrong. It is a small group of people who have extreme views of morality based on their own religious views who insist on forcing everyone else to live according to their views. It is the morality police and the vice patrols of the Islamic theocracies that the same people doing this in the US claim to hate. It is scary to me the regressive world they want to force the country into. Hugs. Scottie

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s version of the age verification bills being sponsored around the country by anti-porn religious conservative activists continues making its progress through the state legislature toward likely approval.

On Tuesday, the state’s Senate Finance Committee advanced SB 1792 — titled by its chief sponsor, Republican Senator Becky Duncan Massey, as the “Protect Tennessee Minors Act” — out of committee.

SB 1792 “would make porn websites criminally liable if they don’t verify the ages of users of their sites through photo matching,” local CBS affiliate WREG reported.

Massey compared the proposed new requirement to “age verification when folks go on an alcohol-related site,” and said her bill is necessary because, she believes, pornography “can cause damage” and “mental health issues.”

FSC Director of Public Affairs Mike Stabile, however, told XBIZ that Massey’s bill effectively criminalizes the distribution of adult content online, which he cited as a frequently stated goal of many conservatives.

Stabile also called SB 1792 “an escalation of what we’ve seen in other states” and deemed it “a grave threat” to First Amendment protections.

“First it was private lawsuits, then fines from attorneys general — Tennessee evidently wants to become the first state to begin arresting pornographers,” Stabile said, adding that the Tennessee bill’s chilling effect on legal speech will be substantial.

“The legislature’s own fiscal review committee says that it assumes ‘a majority of entities’ will simply stop publishing content in the state, but that, if not, ‘the increase in such convictions could be significant,’” he explained.

Stabile also pointed out that for many legislators, age verification is “just an excuse to increase liabilities for people that create, and platforms that host, material dealing in sex or sexuality. It’s no surprise that Tennessee has also recently expanded the definition of ‘material harmful to minors’ to include drag and other non-explicit LGBTQ+ content offline, and the bill itself criminalizes as little as the description of a nipple.”

Aylo: Recent Slew of AV Laws Are ‘Ineffective, Dangerous’

SB 1792 would also require websites to keep “anonymized age-verification data” for extended periods of time.

Massey told WREG, “They keep the data but not personally identifying data. They have to keep the data to prove that they did verify for seven years, but it can’t have their name, address. It can’t have any personal identifying markers.”

Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Utah and Virginia have passed similar age verification bills, all introduced by Republicans, while 19 other states have introduced similar legislation. Florida recently passed its version of the law, written by a legislator who is also a pastor, as part of a more comprehensive social media bill.

Aylo issued a statement about the Tennessee bill and the other laws, stating, “The way many jurisdictions worldwide have chosen to implement age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous. Any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user safety in jeopardy. Moreover, as experience has demonstrated, unless properly enforced, users will simply access non-compliant sites or find other methods of evading these laws.”

Alabama just got a step closer to jailing librarians who provide LGBTQ+ books

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/alabama-just-got-a-step-closer-to-jailing-librarians-who-provide-lgbtq-books/

The state is pursuing bills banning drag, LGBTQ+ discussions in schools, and criminalizing queer library books.

Alabama’s legislature is advancing two censorious anti-LGBTQ bills: H.B. 130 would ban LGBTQ+ flags in classrooms and expand the state’s “Don’t say gay” law to include grades 6-8; H.B. 385 would jail librarians for giving “sexual or gender-oriented material” to minors without parental consent. Both bills were approved in the Alabama House of Representatives this week and now head to the state’s Republican-led upper legislative chamber.

Alabama’s current “Don’t Say Gay” law says that K-5 classrooms “shall not engage in classroom discussion or provide classroom instruction regarding sexual orientation or gender identity in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” H.B. 130 would also remove the section “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards,” banning LGBTQ+ discussions completely.

The H.B. 130 expansion, which passed the state House on Tuesday, would expand the law to include grades 6-8 and also prohibit “flags symbolizing sexual orientations or gender identities” in all grade school levels.

The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Mack Butler (R), said the bill is necessary to “purify the schools” of “some indoctrination going on,” ABC News reported.

“[LGBTQ+ discussions and flags are] a component of Marxism where we’re – you know – destroying the family and teaching some of these things. Let it happen somewhere else other than our schools.” Butler said.

The ACLU of Alabama has spoken against the law, saying that it would silence “inclusive” and “essential” discussions among students and teachers in classrooms while violating their First Amendment rights to free speech.

On Thursday, the Alabama House also passed H.B. 385, a bill would expand the state’s definition of “sexual conduct” to include conduct that “knowingly exposes minors to persons who are dressed in sexually revealing, exaggerated, or provocative clothing or costumes, or are stripping, or engaged in lewd and lascivious dancing, presentations, or activities in K-12 public schools, public libraries, and other public places where minors are expected and are known to be present without parental consent.”

The law would place libraries in the same category as “adult-only” stores, movies, and entertainment” in order to criminalize librarians who provide “sexual or gender-oriented material” to minors without parental consent.

The bill would force school and public librarians to remove any books that other people find “obscene” or “harmful” to minors — though the law doesn’t specify who would determine what’s “obscene” or “harmful.” After filing a written objection to the library director or principal, librarians would then have seven days to remove the book from shelves.

Librarians who fail to do so could initially face a misdemeanor criminal charge and a fine of up to $10,000 and a county jail or hard labor sentence of up to one year. If a librarian is convicted of a second or subsequent violation, they could face a class C felony charge punishable by up to 10 years in prison, The Alabama Reflector reported.

State Rep. Neil Rafferty (D) said the law is so broadly written that it could allow a single complaint to result in a warrant being issued for someone who wears an objectionable Halloween costume or sundress.

“I do still have some serious problems with this because I feel like this is a violation of First Amendment, I feel like is easily going to be abused, and we will be dealing with unintended consequences of it,” Rafferty said.

“This bill is government overreach, robs parents of their rights, and would have a chilling effect on free speech by potentially incarcerating librarians because particular books are available, including even the Bible,” wrote Craig Scott, president of the Alabama Library Association.

Both bills are among several copycat laws across the country that seek to block minors from accessing LGBTQ+ content under the belief that such content “sexualizes” and “indoctrinates” children. Sponsors of these bills never note that numerous types of classroom and library materials have depicted heterosexual romance and issues without much parental or political objection.
