NYT article and my thoughts on "Swimming with My Shirt Off"

This dives really deep. Metaphorically: looks like figure eight racing on a two way street but really a full circle on two one-way streets!!! WOW!

My thoughts: Everyone is so different. We are all fun characters in an ongoing EPIC called life. Do what makes you comfortable, shirt or not. Don't allow groups or people to dictate what makes you you. Especially, when both ways are a social norm and totally appropriate! And, unwanted touching is never ok! Good to stop it. But, remember, as we all get older our lifestyles becomes a personal choice, but only with another consenting partner.
