As gay men and as bears we often have much more in common with the straight community than we think. However one of the key differences between us is our appreciation for the male body. Women tend to appreciate the whole package of a man but not every nook and crevice. For example, I’ve heard several comedians joke about the ugliness of balls. No shade to the ladies as it’s all a matter of taste but I notice they are often disgusted by a man’s most masculine characteristics.

For all the guys out there, straight and gay, here is a list to celebrate the parts of your body that don’t always get the love they deserve.

Balls

Back Rolls

Belly Overhang

Hairy Backs

Thick Necks and Backs

Booty

Mushroom Tips

Thick Thighs

Armpits

Nipples

Foreskin

Beards
