    What if the photo is of a fat man, and the organs in question are very well covered by his rolls?

    I'm not gay myself but you are a handsome kid who doesn't have anything to worry about in the looks department. You have good features and pretty damn clear skin for a 14 year old. Your weights looks fine to me, lean enough to not show on your face. If you feel self conscious about how you look shirtless, work on fine tuning your diet and develop an exercise plan. Just running a few times a week will work wonders for anyone who's currently inactive.

    I feel under pressure to shave my arms/legs sometimes, but much more under pressure to be toned. Generally my self-esteem is fine though, because I have a decent body although it could use work. If my arms were more toned, I would shave them, but they're fairly skinny (kinda in between toned and nothing), so I just leave them as is.

    The hair on my arms isn't too dark. On my legs it is but there isn't a carpet's worth, but not nothing either. I'm mostly happy with my body though =P

    Yeah, I've never seen a chubby person go to toned in my time, although I'm sure it's a possibility with dieting and specific exercise. Even things like Amphetamine and Methamphetamine can help vastly with that. But that's not a good idea, ever. Unless nothing else has worked. >_>

    ^^you should like swim or something. i mean, it's fun (at least in my opinion) and it's supposedly a good workout. I'm in gymnastics, have been for 13 years, so that's how i stay in shape.

    i've heard that swimming is the best workout for the body.

    I used to swim daily, I've been too tired lately though.

    Well the gay community is far more superficial In my opinion than the hetero world. Most desirable body types tend be very in shape guys..pref six pack abs and nice arms and the total package really. Think Greek god! These types tend to gathar the most attention from other gay men and I have seen this for years..I am doubting it will ever change.

    I don't really see that as a problem, maybe if the straight community has the same issue there wouldn't be the ridiculous death toll there is due to obesity and heart disease, as well as other problems caused by poor diet and lifestyle.
