I’m often accused of preferring more feminine looking guys.  That’s not so much a measure of me as a measure of how macho American culture still is.  If you’re not XYYYYYYY then you’re a girly boy.  But I will admit to liking a degree of andronginy in my guys.  Well…check out the drawings I’ve been posting lately.
