5. Nude and oiled

If I recall correctly.

Nude, oiled, youths who had no stigma attached to homosexuality.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. And women....

were prohibited from watching!

[RevCheesehead]

7. Now hold on just a damned minute....

Nobody's gonna take away my visual rights! :grr:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear Rev!

No one would dream of taking away your visual rights, these days!

But way back when.....they did do that.....the women were inventive, though, and figured out how to sneak around so they could see!

And with that little nugget.....Good night! Time for me to get some sleep...

See you tomorrow, I hope!

And thank you, my dear Rev, for all the good thoughts, hugs and words...

13. Some reports say unmarried women were allowed in the stands...

Young girls--well chaperoned. And some of the umarried women were there "professionally."

Interesting book here--you can search the text!

Married women were not allowed.

8. If only they were nude these days...

I'd have my eyes glued to the tube to see her:



Sasha Cohen... Mee-yoooww.

10. Yes, that's why a gymnasium is called a gymnasium.

Gymnos = naked, so a gymnasium is "the place where you are naked."

11. The original marathon was run by naked men

Followed closely by fully clothed women.

[Deja Q]

17. Quite. The original "jiggle show" was hardly Suzanne Somers!

:rofl:

12. Well, they were in Greece, weren't they?

:popcorn:

[seemunkee]

14. But they didn't have winter olympics.

Can you say shrinkage?

[Deja Q]

15. Yup. No need for popcorn either, I'd rather not spectate...

I'd much rather be a participant!!

[LisaL]

16. Absolutely. But only men participated.
