COL471: Where is the body?

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the concept of body positivity. With recent developments such as the Arrested Movement photography series and the topic of male body image issues, being body positive is definitely up for current discussion and debate. But, what is it and what does it look like? Listen in as the cubs give their thoughts and feelings on this somewhat new notion. Are you body beautiful?

  • Re: COL470: The Porn Factor – Chris Green: Really enjoyed this one! I grew up in the same era, having the internet (dialup, newsgroups, bbs sites) around high school. No one mentioned another of the old-school methods of discovering porn; squinting at the blurred images on scrambled, adult TV channels!

  • Re: COL470: The Porn Factor: Woofy – remember back in boarding school, boys would put pictures of naked women on their walls and it was super cool.  I did it with big hairy men and suddenly no one visited my room. What is this injustice.
