Oh now I see, we refer to it as stage tape, since we use that to tape amplifier / microphone lines to the stage when doing a gig with the band.
I guess that , one who uses that to tear off chest hair , will tear off at least
200 μm of the skin. That hurts! So Groundrush would better leave the wax in stead of taping it.

Taped duck, Ken. Just like you do on the BBQ. Tape the bl*dy duck and "boil" it, instead of roasting it.
Oh, that's an alternative for the chest hair, just roast it off instead of using the taped duck recorder manner.

Well, since you are (as best as I can remember), openly gay and also, might I add, seem to be quite comfortable with it (being open), I was wondering if you think that if a person (you can take me as an example), elects to teach their kids that it may not be an appropriate lifestyle (just in my mind only!), would you think that this would indicate that I have doubts about my own sexual preference?
To be uncharacteristically brief: Maybe.
But if you wanted brief, you knew better than to ask me.
So here goes:
Even by my standards, I have a lot to say on the subject, but I will try to avoid tangents or broadening the scope of the discusison. I would like to start out by saying that it is very difficult to discuss this topic on neutral terms since just about every word associated with the homosexuality has some kind of negative semantic. So if I use wording that carries implications with it please assume that those implications do not apply unless specifically stated.
Basically, you and Chad are both right and both wrong. Your point of view does not automatically qualify you as a closeted homosexual or insecure or homophobe or whatever. There are a lot of reasons why a person might have a negative opinion about homosexuality: personal morality, religious belief, a negative encounter with a homosexual, misconception/ignorance, insecurity, sexual identity issues, etc. Homophobia by reason of insecure sexuality is simply the most famous and most ironic example, and arguably the most prevalent. It is true that often a closeted homosexual will be the most visciously outspoken opponent of homosexual lifestyles, but it is logically invalid to infer the opposite.
On the other hand, I think that Chad has a point about the relationship between being confident with your own sexuality and being comfortable with other sexual preferences. People who have become comfortable with their own sexuality, especially those who have "deviant" sexual preferences, tend to be very confident and open when it comes to sex (although this is not a guarantee, either). A year ago, I would have been freaked out by the idea of doing some of the things I did a month ago. But trying different things has helped me be more comfortable with things I didn't used to be, even if after I try them I can say, "That's not for me". But I now know the people who do enjoy them are not weird or freaks or wrong.
I hope that answers the question. It's so hard no to go into lengthy rants...
BTW, I think Chad deserves some respect in the area of psychology since he has a degree in the subject. I think his knowledge goes beyond someone who "thinks he's Dr. Phil" (like me).

Sorry, Kudos Chad.
Kraj - Thanks for letting me sneak out of this discussion with a tiny bit of self-respect...
Well it's just plain stupid. It's like a super-concentrated stereotype. Let's see... how can we reinforce the gay vs. straight and urban vs. rural seterotypes while coining a completely unnecessary term for a straight man who cares about his appearance, riding the fad success of Queer Eye, encouraging an increase in the market for men's cosmetics to help us get rich, and simultaneously make anyone with an iota of intelligence want to vomit? I've got it....!
