Indeed, it seems trying to apply female standards to males causes unique issues, when, let’s be honest, my own rural upbringing was fairly un-PC. Nothing racist or anything, but we did things that would shock your average North American suburbanite at an existential level.
As boys, we spent a surprising amount of summertime nude. Sometimes we just wore a shirt, no pants. If we weren’t going anywhere. If we went swimming or wrestling, we went nude.
I should mention sexuality a bit. Yes, I masturbated with most of my guy friends. We saw nothing gay about it. We also stuck it between each other’s thighs and rubbed dicks together. We did not penetrate each other, though: Sucking (but not being sucked) was seen as gay, and anal brought the bottom’s gender into question.
