Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Jack Campin Date: 09 Nov 10 - 04:02 PM By sheer fluke, I happened to see one of these nude pictures of Sean Connery today. The Royal Scottish Academy has an exhibition tying in with the 80th (?) birthday of the local artist/entrepreneur Richard Demarco. Demarco was a student at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1952, at which point Connery was earning a few bob modelling there. Demarco's picture is a rather unappealing blurry thing with the figure of Connery about 8 inches high wearing a sort of loincloth. Other students in the class must have drawn or painted him better. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: SINSULL Date: 08 Nov 10 - 05:07 PM That was my point, Jackie. At the Getaway, at house concerts and performances, at work - I see men hugging men in greeting not always in a sexual way, women hugging women, men hugging women, women hugging men. No big deal. And this includes people from the UK. We have a few of them at work too. lol |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: jacqui.c Date: 08 Nov 10 - 03:50 PM Actually, the FSGW Getaway is a good example of the fact that men can openly show affection without any problem. I am unable to count the number of warm hugs that I got from both male and female at what is often an annual meeting. Kendall probably got more than I did and that's fine. The majority of my male friends will greet me with a hug and, quite often, a kiss - a lovely way of saying hello. I consider myself to have feminist leanings - when I worked I did the same job as my male co-workers and was paid at the same rate. I see no reason why, as a female, I should be treated as a second class citizen just because I wasn't born with a penis. I do object to the sort of nasty sexual innuendo that my boss occasionally used, but then I also objected to the sort of treatment that he would dish out to my co-workers. I had a problem with the guys who held conversations with my breasts, rather than look me in the eye. However, lighthearted banter by either sex doesn't make me swoon or want to go screaming from the room - give and take makes for easy relationships. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: mauvepink Date: 08 Nov 10 - 02:04 PM Attraction AND Affection, have both been denied men, publically at least.. There was always a natural affection between men and women, once upon a time, but those who despise men, who've hidden behind the feminist barrier for so long, have tried their hardest to break that invisible bond.... The natural attraction was first. Men have willies and women a place to put them. Animal attraction and animal nature. Some men are still like that but I totally refute that men cannot and must not be affectionate in public. Men and women, have evolved and I see public displays of affection all the time coming from men with no retribution by women. Being genuinely feminist is not about hating or despising men. Men can still, and do pass, comment without action being taken against them. Rightly so. What has been stopped is those men who would try and use power to gain them favour with a woman and if she did not play along she would be discriminated against. Yes, some have over reacted and took the law to punish men but not all women are like that. Not all feminists are like. And certainly not all men are Neanderthals waiting to prey on women. I believe we are now moving in law back toward the middle of the extemes and that men and women are finding themselves again by attraction AND affection. As is being postulated in another thread, there will always be those where love (affection) plays no part with sex. But, generally, I also believe men and women, whilst sometimes feeling totally feral about sex, prefer the affection route to getting it. Those who would use power to secure sex - men or women - should be checked in law in the workplace and other areas. Men are not being denied attraction and affection. They are being denied the right to procure sex by power. Most men do not choose that route and I see no evidence in this thread, or others where this has raised up as a topic, that men feel put down by women. I find it rather refreshing that so many men stand up and talk about their need for affection and their willingness to express it in relationships. Women do not have quite as much power as is suggested, I feel, and where the damage has been done - as with all things - is when extreme views are pressed home. Attractioan and affection can and do exist in heaps. For BOTH genders with both genders and every combination thereof. Long may that be the case. IMHO mp |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: jacqui.c Date: 08 Nov 10 - 10:51 AM Some of the remarks above were being made about my husband, who laughed when he read them. I can see nothing in any of the posts above that I would consider sexist and lewd. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: kendall Date: 08 Nov 10 - 10:48 AM Sean Connery is a man's man too. Robin and Marian is one of my favorite movies. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: SINSULL Date: 08 Nov 10 - 09:55 AM "Attraction AND Affection, have both been denied men, publically at least.." Where is this weird world where Lizzie lives? I see men showing affection to their friends, girlfriends and wives everywhere I go. And no one thinks twice about it. UKers too so it can't just be a US thing. And though a few are outspoken about women as sex objects here on Mudcat, they are in the minority. I saw aboslutely nothing sexist or lewd in any of the comments above. Nor would I if they were made about Marilyn Monroe. Connery made Harrison Ford look sexless in the Indiana Jones series. The eyes, the body, the attitude - it is all a package. He seems to enjoy being himself. As with most men, I believe, these Hollywood types are a fantasy. I would no more want to spend an evening with Sean Connery than with Karl Rove. I prefer keeping the fantasy alive. A friend of mine had a terrible crush on the ice skater with the famous haircut - can't think of her name. But she personified sweetness and talent and feminine charm in public. He had the misfortune to sit next to her on an airplane. She was the perfect bitch through the whole flight. Poor guy was really down about it. Careful what you wish for, you might get it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 08 Nov 10 - 04:22 AM Sometimes what we fancy is not always necessarily good for us. How people appear in fantasy might not be the real them in true life. The naked hunk with the twinkling eye could be a brute and a bounder who knows? |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Arthur_itus Date: 07 Nov 10 - 02:41 PM Well I am a bloke and nature gives us our roles. It's quite natural for men to fancy women and women to fancy men just like animals do. It's quite natural for some men to fancy men and not women and of course for women to fancy women. Some fancy both. Take one of the most loved persons in music Freddy Mercury. My wife likes Brian Ferry for the reasons I mentioned. I suppose this is a waste of space thread that will only get into the flaming situation. So I'll get me coat. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 07 Nov 10 - 01:22 PM Attraction AND Affection, have both been denied men, publically at least.. There was always a natural affection between men and women, once upon a time, but those who despise men, who've hidden behind the feminist barrier for so long, have tried their hardest to break that invisible bond.... Sean and Audrey... I Love You More than Sunlight - |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 07 Nov 10 - 01:01 PM "Maybe so Lizzie, but surely Brian oozes sensual sex, where as Sean oozes animal." Bryan Ferry is merely Bryan Ferry to me. Nothing more. The most moving film I've ever seen Sean Connery in was 'Robin & Marian' where he starred alongside an older Audrey Hepburn. Both of them played their parts with absolute tenderness and love. It was so moving. I've always had the feeling that Sean Connery loves women, not for their 'animalistic' side, like James Bond would, but for who they are inside their souls.....Perhaps that's why he's stayed happily married to the same lady for decades now. I'm sure they've had many warm smiles, loads of love and lots of twinkly-eyed moments in their lives. Could I also point out that if this thread had been about Marilyn Monroe, or some other femme fatale, and men had come on here making some of the lewd and deeply sexist comments that I've seen being written here by some women, all hell would have broken loose from The Sisterhood. The men would have been hauled over the coals for even daring to pass the merest sexual comment, of course, let alone some of the ones above...Steam would have risen, not of a sexual nature, but of an Indignant one... Funny, ain't it, how some within The Sisterhood have one rule for men, and one rule for themselves..? I wonder why this is? I've always felt that men have been dealt a very hard deal due to feminism, in that they are, seemingly, no longer allowed to display any natural attraction towards women, whilst women seem to think they have absolute freedom to discuss men in the most lewd, clinical and sexual way, without any complaints whatsoever... So, I thought I'd just 'complain'....because I think that attitude stinks, quite frankly. One rule for ALL is where we need to be. |

Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 06 Nov 10 - 06:58 PM Sean Connery EVERY time! Bryan Ferry has hooded eyes, like a sssssnake..and they don't Twinkle... It's not about age..it's about Twinklyness.. :0) |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Arthur_itus Date: 06 Nov 10 - 06:35 PM Now I would have thought you ladies would have preferred Bryan Ferry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4WVyanm14EI Now be honest, how many of you women wouldn't mind being with him instead of Sean Connory? |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: GUEST,Van Date: 06 Nov 10 - 12:10 PM Photo in today's Guardian. Try their website. You only see his bum and he is wearing a thong and in 1951 that would be odd. How old Shir Sean. I was 1 when that painting was done and I wonder if that is him. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 06 Nov 10 - 03:55 AM The naughtiest bits of Sean Connery are his Twinkling Eyes... Even today they sparkle with fun..enough to render a woman utterly helpless to the point where she collapses into submission over his zimmer frame. :0) |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Little Hawk Date: 06 Nov 10 - 03:23 AM Maybe that's how you tell liberals from conservatives, Mrzzy? ;-) One really needs to go to one of those male-bonding things where the men all go to the deep woods, gather round the fire in the nude, and beat drums, and tell stories about their emotional problems to get the full effect... |

What do you think would happen if you shed your black leather and flannel and stood out in the altogether? Would your Groupies desert you or dessert you?" Dessert him? You mean like lathering his bulbous naughty parts up with whipped cream or the like? |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Don Firth Date: 06 Nov 10 - 01:35 AM The story is that when the producers of the first Bond movie (Dr. No) were casting for Bond, when Sean Connery walked in, they both jumped. One of them said to the other, "There's our Bond! He moves like a panther!" Don Firth |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Mrrzy Date: 05 Nov 10 - 10:20 AM Very few things, ha ha, are sillier-looking than a nude, uninterested man. But I would look at a naked Sean Connery, no question! Groups of nude men are also rather entertaining. Ever notice how some peni dangle, and some are propped up on their balls? |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: GUEST,mauvepink Date: 05 Nov 10 - 09:20 AM The real character of a man lies between his ears and within his ribcage, not between his legs! Naughty bits say far less about a man than they do the person looking at them lol Sean Connery has always oozed sexuality and no amount of nudity will actually make that improve in my opinion. The man just 'has it' but quite what 'it' is is harder to define. Martin Shaw affects me the same way. Of course, the voice helps too and that can never be available in a picture. In a way nudity takes away something. Curiosity maybe, if you are that way inclined, but it is sometimes to be left with imagination as your brain is the biggest sex organ you have. Then again, it's not always about sex either... There are lot of men I would love to meet but would not want to wake up with. Dinner is just fine lol mp |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Becca72 Date: 05 Nov 10 - 08:56 AM Well, I'm by no means an "elderly woman" and I think Sean Connery is dead sexy. I have no real need to see a naked painting of him, but still. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: SINSULL Date: 05 Nov 10 - 08:51 AM I don't know, Kendall. What do you think would happen if you shed your black leather and flannel and stood out in the altogether? Would your Groupies desert you or dessert you? Here comes Jacqui...CELLAR! |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 05 Nov 10 - 08:30 AM I am not saying it's repulsive, it's just one of those days. Today I couldn't even drool over a French tart. |

Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Nov 10 - 07:28 PM Don't be silly, kendall. The Greeks and Romans and people in the Renaissance had no trouble appreciating the beauty of both male and female nudes. Naked men are not intrinsically ugly or disgusting. When they're in good physical condition, they look absolutely great...just as does a healthy horse or a dolphin or an eagle or any other living creature that's in good condition. I much prefer to look at nude women, yeah....but I see no reason why I should find a picture of a nude man repulsive in any way. Now, Sean Connery....seems to me that the main thing Sean has going is that marvelous voice and accent, and the roguish expression in his eyes. He's so damned hairy that one might almost mistake him for some sort of missing link...but when he opens his mouth and speaks, THEN you get what the fuss is about. ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: jacqui.c Date: 04 Nov 10 - 07:28 PM Yum! Almost worth a visit to Selkirk to drool. |

Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: gnu Date: 04 Nov 10 - 05:18 PM Women "know" him. They admire his body of work. They like the sexy voice. Bill... don't you find a woman you "know" sexier than a woman in a picture? Not that I look at pics of naked women, of course. Well, not since the videos are all the rage. Oooo, yeah baby, that's the... |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Bill D Date: 04 Nov 10 - 04:42 PM I don't care who is nude or who looks at them...but I just can't see why Sean Connery is any better to look at than probably thousands of other nude men they could see easily...and this isn't even a photo. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: gnu Date: 04 Nov 10 - 04:37 PM Sean puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us. Of course, he takes them off more often than the most of us. |
Subject: RE: BS: Start Drooling Ladies-Connery Nude Found From: Amergin Date: 04 Nov 10 - 04:28 PM Kendall, I am quite sure that Jacqui is rather relieved about that...but then I'm in the same boat as you. But then, last I heard neither one of us are ladies.... |
