Hi Edison,

Why do you think Yoga is something that only gay people would engage in?

Hi, Edison

Its up to you to decide what is gay or what is straight Smile

Just take up Yoga and find it out for yourself.
I myself never did Yoga, so I cant tell you what it is like, but I think doing sport is never stupid.

I don't know I feel that's like ballet, your body would be very very soft, it's not masculine at all. And of course karate is not gay! So you all have seen very very straight guy learning Yoga. OK maybe someday I would take it up but not do that just to meet the ladies like what Nina said. Wink

Why does it seem that you seem to know everything, Jamie! Shocked

Are you a teacher or something like that? Can you perform the bellet for me? Embarassed

First let's define what "gay" really means in this instance:

Unmanly/effeminate

Now, is it unmanly/effeminate?
-- No, of course not

Does it have the reputation (in the US, at least) for being an unmanly activity for men?
-- Yes, to a fair degree

I'm talking about the football/"real men wear black"/NASCAR crowd.

Speaking of NASCAR -- it's growing in popularity, but it's still biggest in the South and (hence) carries the nickname "NECKCAR" among some. hehe

Of course, if one guy in a group of die-hard wife-beater-wearing NASCAR fans were to try yoga and broadcast its benefits to his friends, they'd probably give him a hard time about it... but two weeks later they'd be watching the race in their tutus. hehe

In fact I really feel a man doing yoga which requires lexility highly womanish. Are there many men doing yoga in your countries. Here in china men doing it are really rare variety. Very Happy
