I am on the email list of a major UK gay toys (et al) vendor, and I wonder why they and so many other purveyors of requisites for the homosexual gentleman consider that we all adore the same thing. Here's a typical example:

Now he's slim, well enough muscled, and 'ordinarily hairy', so he could be 'the bloke next door', except he is, somehow, not. And all we can see is his dried arrangement in a banana hammock. Obviously they are selling hammocks.

But why are we only interested in bananas?

This stereotyping is as offensive to me in its way as the display of naked tits on page 3 of The Sun. Gay men are not all fascinated by penises, and not all by the same type of body.

Don't get me wrong, I like a comely lad with a comely penis, but there's no way I'd reject a lovely face because of an imperfect penis.

I wonder what I'm really whining about.
