This really made me laugh. I think I prefer men with their clothes on, unless they’re covered in a duvet. No 4 is quite cute, but only because I prefer shortish men – and no other reason! He’s too short to be Jon, but I think no 1 might be the Pope.
No, give me a man in an old cardigan – much more sexy.
I always wear my kilt when I conduct services including the celebration of marriage. Couples love it as they do not expect it and when nearly all the men wear kilts to weddings here it is just very appropriate. Even worn it to a couple of funerals after finding out the family wear wearing theirs.

We know someone else (or two) with a penchant for a kilt… No. 4 is best advised to avoid them, especially if worn in the traditional manner…
RockingRev – what do you wear on your top half when you wear a kilt to conduct ceremonies? Do you wear a dog collar with it? Just curious.
I bet you thought I was going to ask what you wore underneath.
Tiggy and Rocking Rev, I was once told that there is some ancient (and, of course, not enforced) Scottish law which says that ministers can NOT wear kilts under their robes. Can’t think why – something to do with covenanters’ history I think. Lots of ministers don’t wear robes anyway of course, but my dad does. I remember him conducting our wedding, and as I couldn’t look him in the eye without giggling or crying I was looking at his feet. His robe was a wee bit short and his white kilt socks looked pretty funny sticking out under his black robe!
Not really relevant to this topic but thought I’d throw it in seeing as I managed to divert us onto talking about kilts and ceremonies.
Incidentally, when I rule the world, kilts will be compulsory for men. I think they’re lovely, and make even out of shape male bodies look better.
I find kilts too bulky and I don’t like bulky men. I prefer wrap round apron type skirts like David Beckham wears. It would be lovely if men wore those in the summer.

5. Jon if you say so … Me thinks the “especially me” bit next to the “He who is hung like a horse” might be a bit of a Freudian slip?
They also did the Olympics in the nude as the Greeks really enjoyed the male form.
If I was a dude, I’d complain that except for a few guys like Ewan MacGreggor who seem to enjoy going starkers on film, naked guy tend to show up on celluloid when it’s a comedy and the point isn’t to admire the bits.
Some gay films or films with a gay theme give a more romanntic portrayal of the male body. I can’t say I remember ever seeing any artistic photos of male bits – but maybe they aren’t very photogenic or I’m just not buying the right calendars.
Tiggy I got it . I’m just not letting Jon off the hook on this one. I mean he did put the “especially me” bit over the dude that let’s just say defies the stereotype given to British, Irish and Jewish men.
While Robert Maplethorpe achieved notoriety for his homoerotic photos, some of his black & white pictures of the male body were truly works of art – he had a real genius for knowing how to use light and shadow when photographing the human body. I saw an exhibit they did at a Guggenheim that juxtaposed his photographs with the classical sculptures that inspired the shot and it was really quite moving.
I’m drawn to the faces on their chests rather than… other bits… does that mean there’s something wrong with me?

My woman tells me I’m sexy.
I’ll accept that at face value!
Comment by Forrest — November 7, 2009 @ 1:46 pm
nnnaaahhhh!!!
Keep yer kit on and let me get to know your sexy soul…then we might make ourselves mutually vulnerable by unwrapping our nakedness.
No. 4 looks, frankly, scary…couldn’t accommodate him if I wanted to…at least he’d never be at loss for something to stir a tin of paint with.
No smiles on the chest faces, I see…
Comment by Carole — November 7, 2009 @ 2:01 pm
Jon – is there a reason why your bits are by far the biggest?
I am usually drawn to faces but that’s kinda obvious. 
Comment by becky — November 7, 2009 @ 2:41 pm
that’s definitely not me!
Comment by jonbirch — November 7, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
is it me? is it just a cultural thing?.. but naked men, on average, look more ridiculous than naked women.
Comment by jonbirch — November 7, 2009 @ 3:21 pm
loving how he did the women with clothes and the men without… jon, is there something you’re not telling us?
Comment by émie — November 7, 2009 @ 3:22 pm
haha! it was time to redress the balance, emie.
Comment by jonbirch — November 7, 2009 @ 3:25 pm
Now I just adore you. Also you should make one with men saying it about men and women saying it about women just to be totally relevant ^_^
Muah!

I know which one is Long John Silver! Be interesting too see which you think he is from that information.
Comment by miriworm — November 7, 2009 @ 4:06 pm
Jon @ 6 – no,it’s not just you – they do!!
The thing I find strange about your naked men here is their absolute absence of any body hair – now if one of then had hairy arms…..
Comment by Pat — November 7, 2009 @ 4:18 pm
None of us have glasses, either
I love these! You should put them on t-shirts.
Comment by Mackan Andersson — November 7, 2009 @ 6:22 pm
6 – Michalengelo seemed to think naked men looked sublime

The dude on the far right has a sad expression on his tummy.

Carole @ #3 “Keep yer kit on and let me get to know your sexy soul…then we might make ourselves mutually vulnerable by unwrapping our nakedness”
Indeed. Love that Carole. Especially since I’m tired, haven’t my specs on and thought you’d written “keep yer kilt on”!
Comment by AnneDroid — November 7, 2009 @ 11:59 pm
Oooh, now who wears a kilt….?
Comment by Tiggy — November 8, 2009 @ 12:01 am
I agree. Would have been even more sexy with their kilts on!
Comment by laura — November 8, 2009 @ 6:46 am
@6 Jon I think men look ridiculous nude but I guess its all in the eye.
I was sad to see that number 2 has my body on but its upside down!
Comment by dennis the mennis — November 8, 2009 @ 9:07 am
I’m too sexy for my kilt, for my kilt, so sexy it’s cute
I’m a man, you know what I mean, I do a little turn on asbo

And by the way, when I said that No 4 couldn’t be Jon because he was too short, I was talking about his height.
Comment by Tiggy — November 9, 2009 @ 3:33 am
Tiggy I got it . I’m just not letting Jon off the hook on this one. I mean he did put the “especially me” bit over the dude that let’s just say defies the stereotype given to British, Irish and Jewish men.
While Robert Maplethorpe achieved notoriety for his homoerotic photos, some of his black & white pictures of the male body were truly works of art – he had a real genius for knowing how to use light and shadow when photographing the human body.

I thought that huge, built like a brick shit-house, black guy was rather letting the side down.
Who has that stereotype of British men? Americans?
Comment by Tiggy — November 9, 2009 @ 5:46 am
I wore a kilt at my wedding. Have never worn one under an alb though…
Back to the cartoon! I’m not cutting it down for anyone!!
