"so hows that for mondo thread drift?"
It wasn't a drift,,,it was a redirect. I was getting bored of that frat boy shit.
All boys look at girls. Some boys have more self-control than others.
I think the subject has been thrashed enough.

I posted in Spanish because the setting was in Mexico. You wouldn't say "smorgasboard" in France or "buffet" in Sweden

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.

Dallas, I looked (sorta) for the who/what/when that you've mentioned several times....couldn't find it....
Gotta admit, I didn't look that hard because in my mind, the who/what/when/why/how of CT is up to ME. It's what I make it. Nothing that anyone else sees/views/thinks/assumes/demands/fantasizes etc has a thing to do w/ it.
The following is my post from another thread regarding photography @ CT. I'm sure you read it but I'm posting again even tho you probably already saw it....but I'm still posting it again....just cuz I can :D

This was my 3rd Burn and CT was one of the first things I saw my 1st year. I think we'd been out and about on the Playa for about an hour when we crossed paths with CT. I thought it was great. I couldn't wait to do it, but it took me til this year to get up the nerve to finally get 'm painted up and on display.
Being a relatively new burner, I am not 100% sure what the exact purpose of CT is aside from empowerment and freedom from shame, but that doesn't necessarily mean the same thing to everyone. To me, it is the freedom to put them on display. To show my body w/ pride and see the appreciation, whatever form it might take, within reason. (No touching, and no snapping up close w/out asking, and for GAWDS sake, no comments like, 'Damn, bet them was some nice jugs afore that ol' Bitch Mother Nature got ahold of 'm. How many kids did you say you sired on them thar titties?")
I expect to be looked at, ogled, yelled at and, yes, photographed. IMHO, that is part of my empowerment, to realize that MEN LOVE BOOBS, TITS, BODACIOUS TATA'S, JUGS, BREASTESEZ etc etc and will continue to do so til the end of time.
Whatever form their appreciation takes, so be it.
Men are men. And the always will be....Gotta luv 'm flaws and all, or they'd drive me batshit!
The friend that I rode with is newly married to an 'evolved' man....that is to say, he is a leg and ass man, not a tit man....so he just doesn't show much interest in her boobs....before they started dating, she considered herself a lesbian with bi tendancies.....I only mention that to explain her astonishment at just how infatuated with boobs men are. She was just amazed at the number of men lined up to watch. She just didn't understand why CT was such a draw for the men....she kept saying, "They're just BOOBS!"...she's so naive!
I know this is not going to be the popular opinion, and I realize that some men do need to reign in their enthusiasm and try to get away from the neandrathal, 'show me your tits' stuff, but personally, I appreciate how much they love boobs. Whatever the reason, whether nature or nurture, it's a fact that won't change.
Yes, some men are less boob men than others while other men just manage to hide their 'show me your tits' side a little better than others, we should be glad they love whatever parts of our bodies like they do. Even if they don't use the words we'd like to hear, beautiful, empowered, Goddess, that is what they mean.
After all, the direct translation of 'show me your tits' is "My, madam, what beautiful, breasts you have, they must give you empowerment and make you feel like a Goddess' lol
So, as a woman, who will continue to ride in CT as long as I enjoy it, I say get used to it. Men are men, they are there to see boobs, hopefully, they'll show some form of decorum, if not, they're having fun in the desert and it might be the last bit of boob many of them will see in awhile, so have pity on them and show 'm whatcha got. Be proud and feel the empowerment of NOT being ashamed of how men love our boobs.
The first year I saw CT, a women rode by saying, "Respect women on our planet" and while I fully agree that we do deserve respect, I don't think that CT is the right forum....men won't be enlightened by boobs, boobs and more boobs....they'll just be distracted.

Dallas, I appreciate your view and understand your dissapointment in your fellow men and their behavior. It's admirable and I'm not saying you should change your views......keep defending the empowerment of women....but in this case, you seem to be in the minority.....w/ the exception of a few posts from women who feel as you do, it seems most take the ogling in stride and some ride in CT JUST for the oggling/hooting/hollering etc.
Worship in in the eyes of the beholder, some see piggish men who should grow up, others see men as they are. Maybe not at their finest in some cases, but men all the same.

Skates are not tuna. Or, as Mr. Schriver would say, "IT'S NOT A TOONAH!")

Hey, check this creepy critter out: http://myweb.dal.ca/harbour/images/monkfish.jpg

That's one of my favorite fishies! His yummy little liver is a delicacy in Japan, and in my home as well; it's called ankimo. :)
