How do they not know?

I received an UnderGear catalog in the mail the other day. For those of you not familiar with this catalog, at least those of you who are male, I can say with some certainty that you are not gay.

UnderGear and International Male are two clothing catalogs that offer styles that are, shall we say, a little more daring than what men can find at Gap or Banana Republic. In addition to that, the men are beautiful and in incredible shape. You can tell this from the fact that the majority of their bodies are exposed on most every page.

Suffice it to say that these catalogs (which I believe are from the same parent company) are the 13 year old gay boy's equivalent to what the Victoria's Secret catalog is to straight boys.

Growing up I had quite a collection of these catalogs, and yes, from time to time did actually order some of their clothes--but my orders where far out of proportion with the size of my catalog collection.

For some reason, I never hid this collection. I guess since it was a legitimate clothing catalog I felt safe to have them around? In hindsight, one thinks it would be clear why a young man would show such interest in these pictures, but I guess my family never noticed...or decided not to notice.
