Gentlemen of Tumblr, hear me!
Though as men we are often loath to admit it, the truth is - we guys often have just as many body image and self-esteem issues as the girls. We don’t think we’re muscular enough, or sporty enough, or hairy enough, or… ahem… well-endowed enough. And though it might seem wussy to talk about this stuff, it actually takes real courage to stand up and say “I don’t feel confident about myself”. It takes strength to admit when you feel weak.
SHYB is a great venue for everyone, guys and girls, to talk about their body problems, but… and for many guys, this has definitely been a big but… up until now, it’s seemed pretty female-centric, right? Run by girls, mostly submitted to by girls. Which is great - more power to the girls!
But where does that leave us guys? The girls who run SHYB are awesome, but they can’t really relate to guy problems on a personal level (just like we can’t relate to girl problems on a personal level). And guys who want to submit to SHYB might feel a bit put off by that.
Gentlemen of Tumblr, I’m here to help.
With Annie’s blessing, I’m going to try and take up the role of SHYB’s “consulting dude”, doing my best to address male issues from a male perspective. If you identify as a man, I’m here for you. Submit your problems to SHYB and they’ll be passed on to me - or, if you’re more comfortable talking to another guy one-on-one, send them directly to me and I’ll answer them in confidence.
We guys can hate our bodies too. I want to help fix that.
All the guys are like:
All the girls are like:
And then there’s me:
LOLOL. i only reblogged this for the first gif!

Look at this and guess what it is (hint—it’s not a penguin, it’s not a banana peel, and it’s not a flower).
Have you guessed yet? Seriously, guess.
“I want to get that image out,” says Seattle artist Lynn Schirmer. She was sitting in her loft in the Tashiro Kaplan Building the other day, drinking tea. “I want everybody everywhere to know what that shape is.”
That shape is a human clitoris. If what you see when you close your eyes and picture a clitoris is merely a nubby button, then (A) you are normal, and (B) you are wrong. The nubby button is connected to a neck the size of the first joint of your thumb, and stretching from that neck are two arms that flare like a wishbone—arms that can be as long as three-and-a-half inches. The two bulbs that also extend from the center, which make the clitoris look like a penguin, were thought to belong to the vagina until recently. In the 1990s, Australian urologist Helen O’Connell “initiated the mainstream medical profession’s rediscovery” of the clitoris, Schirmer says, “and it took until just a few years ago to see it fully mapped via MRI and other noninvasive imaging technologies.” The result? The discovery that the clitoris has 10 times more erectile tissue than anatomy textbooks or the illustrations at the doctor’s office show.
