Shane, totally agree with your observation of the demascularization of men, it's everywhere these days; face cream and leg shaving, eyeliner even, stuff like that.

It's a sensitive issue though, because no view can ever be said to be the right one.  I personally see myself as very open-minded but others might not.  I believe that every person on this planet should take their sexuality in whatever direction they are most comfortable with; the one that will give them the happiest life.

Most do, but some don't for fear of getting "labelled" - and that's epic sad.

On the other hand, though, you're just asking to be labelled if you "appreciate the strength and beauty of men".  Some will immediately take such a statement in a sexual context, few will realise that any other context for it even exists!
