Pandering to Prurient Drool

Apparently not all of our readers believe in being fair and balanced. In an email responding to Isabel Tifft’s request in Wednesday’s ‘Lectronic for more beefcake photos in the pages of Latitude 38, Captain Lewis Keizer of Moss Landing-based Ericson 27 Sandpiper says: "I don’t care for men’s butts. The point of Latitude 38 is not to pander to prurient drool — there are plenty of internet sites and magazines to serve those interests. But even the classiest of slick magazines and megayacht ads feature beautiful women — not hunky men. So please don’t cater to Isabel’s roving eyes. Stick with beautiful boats and women."

Of course not everyone agrees. Lynn Langdon wrote to tell us how much she enjoyed Wednesday’s featured hunkiness: "I haven’t seen anything like that in a while. Please keep up the good work!"

What do you think? Do tasteful examples of well-maintained members of the same sex bother you or should room be made for everyone in the pages of Latitude? Email your thoughts to LaDonna.
