Male Bonding2

For those who like to explore the concept and dynamics of male bonding. Men are socialized in different ways in different societies, and so many men would like to have close male friendships, yet after spending time establishing a career, primary relationship and live in general, find themselves without close male friends. Many of us want male friends with whom we can share openly without...

....Has been booted from the group, and I'm reporting him to TN administration. I was hoping that working with him would help, as I want to try to be fair to everyone, but he just didn't get it. I'm sorry for the frustration, trust violations and public embarrassment that he has caused anyone and everyone in this group. Again, thank you to those of you who brought him and his behavior to my attention. I hope this group can get back to being a non-judgmental, safe space for sharing, challenging and supporting each other as men.

That's scary in itself - if he really is a CFO, someone is trusting this looney bird with their finances!found him on linked-in and other sites, with a professional photo, and a full resume, with corporate references and recommendation quotes.

While I respect and support this decision, IMHO there are several of us that are guilty of what we allow in this group as well.

AZCoolDude1 may have asked some odd questions, but several people gave "positive reinforcement to bad behavior" by continuing the conversations rather than advising him that his questions weren't appropriate for the group or directing the topics he posed towards more appropriate context. There have been others who've tried to connect "male bonding" to having sex in other topics in this group.

I firmly believe and state that nudists are NOT asexual. We have sex in appropriate situations just like textiles. But "sex" is no more representative of nudism than is playing volleyball, swimming, hiking, sun bathing, etc.
Nudism is simply about doing things you could normally do with clothes on as a textile, only naked. (This includes "male bonding".) Textiles have to take clothes off to have sex.
