*seizing the arms of my desk chair and holding on for dear life*

My heart is going to bust clean out of my sternum.

*lightheaded*

Whew. Damn. Thank god more straight guys are getting into ass play. I think I need to phone-a-friend, Regis.

Good LORD!!!

Ahem. Excuse me.

I do look very forward to what is sure to be another informative, interesting post tomorrow. If I don’t have a stroke before then.

thank you jonathan – i prefer to do the hard work myself. i know some people prefer steroids, but i prefer the natural, healthier alternative. i’ve probably already done enough damage to myself, i don’t need steroids to make it worse.

yes jennifer, in fact i can discuss it next, if you like. i’ll give it some thought and post about it tomorrow.

I’ve seen males who looked like that in the body, and it was natural for them, but it’s all in your neck and face, how unwell you were.

And I understand your explanation about numbers, it’s just so . . . mystical for me! I mean, okay. I’m 5’7″ also, so I can kind of picture that part, but 150 pounds? WOW! It’s just not what one expects 150 pounds to look like! I’m gonna go look at the average weight of male gymnasts, because those are the only other people I’ve seen in real life who look that way at that height. That’s probably a good comparison, both of your body style, and what you do with it.

Are you one of those folks that, when you are fully clothed, no one would suspect what’s under there? Like, when you look at yourself in the mirror with all your clothes on, do you just look like the average guy?

And thanks for allowing for a little line of drool to escape the corner of my mouth once in a while.

cuz you have a really nice butt-butt too.

Tee hee!

jennifer, you are free to pump up my (ahem) ego, as much as you like… as for achieving a flat belly, there are lots of factors to consider, but one of the most important choices that you probably have more control over is diet. the better your diet, the better your results.

joe, i bet your carpool is one of the liveliest in your area. HA!

jennifer, numbers like weight have to be taken in context with height, body composition, age, gender, etc. as a young male who is 5’7,” 165 pounds w/a high fat ratio is NOT good. as for me weighing 40 pounds less, look at the picture at the top with the “mohawk.” I was at #125 in that pic, versus #165 in the pic w/my kitty. as of the pics from January, 2009 i weigh #150. the difference is that now my fat ratio is lower. muscle weighs more than fat, but is more compact. ergo, my trainer would accidentally WAY overguess my weight to be #170 (which she did last week).

dancers of various weights and heights do pole tricks, but the ones who perform them with the most agility tend to be medium height or shorter (taller guys often have a rough time with joint injuries, because they’re working with longer levers that are less efficient for the job). also, those who are muscled or toned don’t have to carry so much weight as the massive guys. i personally have never seen a thick dude successfully attempt pole tricks, but i’m not saying it doesn’t happen. guys built like dancers, gymnasts, swimmers, divers, soccer players, and runners tend to do pole tricks with the most grace. football types? not so much (except maybe those who fit the quarterback type).

joe, i thought it was always warm on my blog

Conversely, in the later pics, you look *massive*. I’m connecting in my head that you can’t have that big of a frame and do pole tricks like you do, but you look so . . . David-esque in the later pics.

What’s the average size of the dancers you see? Is there anyone who does pole work who’s over 6′ or over 200 pounds?
