Dunno. Kinda made me sad I am single and nowhere near NYC. Otherwise, you too could be terrified at a nekkid Sam and SO.

Those are some lovely photos! Human bodies are cool, and it's nice to see them being enjoyed in all their variety.
What referencing the old thread did for me, though, is remind me to raise my glass to the absence of Blazecock Pileon from threads about marginalized people.

Yeah, that previous thread is pretty terrible. I actually like the pictures in that post more, but I like the love in these.

Wow, it's so nice to see loving pictures like this of fat bodies, as opposed to the scare photos you so often see attached to alarmist articles about The Obesity Epidemic. I wish it weren't so rare.

The artist shows you what's there. Turns out that it's not the same thing you thought you were going to look at. Love is transcendent. Good stuff.
