Well, nobody has ever accused me of having my head screwed on
straight!  (Well, one mailer did accuse me of being "damn sane" but
perhaps she was joking....8-)

Here we go again with the idea that if I'm happy enough with my bod
and its sexuality to permit someone to capture my sole (and other
parts of my body) in a box, the use of that photo can degrade me.

Think about it a minute.  Hustler is in the business of providing
sexually stimulating icons of the human form.  _Either_ these "dogs"
were stimulating, or Hustler lost a bundle.  Since, a few years back,
they did a paperbag special, it might just be that they're trying,
with typical Hustlerian indirection, to point out that "dogs" are sexy
too.

I don't know for certain, since I've never been male, but from the
female side of the fence, I've never known a man so ugly I couldn't
warm up for him if I liked the person living in the "ugly" meat.  And
I've never known a man who was so gorgeous that I couldn't walk away
once I realized he was jerking me around.  Are men _really_ that
different and gonadally driven?  I doubt it.

If you disagree with me, "ruff" 8-).
