The photo just below is only one of two dozen that a young man (who called himself Str8man) posted on another gay discussion board. The user explained that he was 'really' straight, but that he wanted (or needed) the advice of guys who could be honest about whether his 'dick' was big enough or not.
As our societies have accepted 'gayness' (at least to some legal extent), the stigma about being bi or gay - while not vanished - is certainly greatly reduced and for a few happy (no pun intended) gay men, it may be non-existent. However, at the same time, I think this new sexual 'freedom' for all males puts traditional self-identity in some type of young males and even older men into greater jeopardy.
In a way, the macho male is even more threatened in his feelings of isolation and his lack of ability to make 'acceptable' buddy-buddy relationships with other males (particularly those a little older and wiser ) in whom he cannot fully confide or whose affection and need for intimacy he feels he must still largely deny - except for 'outburst' like this one on gay/bi Net sites. In a way, gay sites are becoming the confessionals of a whole new generation of males who crave deeper male intimacy - with or without everything else that is involved in a emotional romantic or sexual interpersonal relationship.
For the young kid or full-blow teenage, (such as Str8man above) who may
have no father (divorced parents) or even no close adult relationships
at all - especially men because of today's climate of paranoia about
the potential of 'child abuse' by ordinary adults and social authorities
figures (teachers, counselors, coaches, priests). He may feel
particularly isolated or alone in his feeling of inadequacy --
especially when he is growing up, going through adolescence's change and
hormonal upheavals, and experiencing the first few sexual and romantic
relationships. It seems to be all to common to see exactly we are seeing
above -- it's emblematic of a larger social phenomenon. -------------------------------------------
I think that many guys who visit (lurk) or participate in the message boards and forums of gay social networking and gay hook-up sites such as Dudesnude, JustusBoys, Gaywatch, Dlist, Lifeout, and definitely on sites such as DickFlash are actually craving CMNM experiences -- rather than simply just sex to get off. It's not that they don't need or want to get off (ejaculate) or that they don't need to communicate or try to relate and form relationships or friendship, but I believe that the need to profoundly reach a deep intimate level of emotional or psycho-sexual communication or interaction with other men -- THAT being with other men in what fundamentally involves nudity -- is a very strong force and a desire that most all men feel that must fulfill.
**********************
Therefore, I would like to expand the definition of CMNM (clothed male -
naked male). You can see that expanded definition in earlier entries
of the blog
I have started, devoted to this topic: Guys Into CMNM You can
**********************
In
CNMN experiences, not everyone involved needs to be to completely
dressed or undressed (there can be mixed dressed/nude people in the same
situation). It's the potential for nudity as a form of intimate or
erotic communication that is more important than actually who is nude or
clothed and how far each way. There can be more than one nude guys -
it's just that there must be one clothed guys too. 
Often, guys can get
CMNM thrills by being the dressed one or the naked one alternatively. I
know that it works this
way for me.
I'm not passing any critical judgement on any other kind of
male-oriented sexual lifestyle -- (flashing, BDSM, leather, role-playing
(involving uniforms or costumes) because some people are turned on by
multiple form of sexual stimulation - some of us are bisexual (past /
present and future) and some of us get off flashing or simply just being
exposed (or getting to see those who do). 
A true (extreme) dickflasher seems to get off by showing an erect cock in places/situations where people don't expect it and are shocked to have the 'space' invaded by a hard dick.. at the extreme, it may be the only way he can get off (ejaculate). It seems that there are actually very few guys who fall into that category.
The CMNM (being exposed where clothed guys can view (and/or be visual stimuated) seems to find his (me being one of them) thrill in being naked in front of guys (dressed or in a state of dressing/undressing) where it's is more or less socially acceptable or at least tolerated (even glorified) - like a public street fair or a no-pants or strip night at a male-oriented bar, etc, or more 'innocently' in a locker room or frat party. But I know that in my case, I get a lot more social/psychological fulfillment / satisifaction (?) and some erotic/sexual pleasure from being in a CMNM situation - especially where I can establish a personal relationship with the clothed (or naked) guys.
Recently, I find this often happens in a hostel or similar situation (campground, at the beach or gym showers, or clothing optional resort, etc, where you meet and befriend strangers who later get to see you naked or even aroused - almost by 'accident' not totally by design). I collect a lot of CMNM photos and have them for 'friends only' on: http://www.flickr.com/people/sunbuns/
You have to join Flickr (free) and add me as friend to view the pics. Please STATE on your profile that you are 18 years old or OVER 18 This makes things legal and I'll get less flack from Flickr for pandering to minors.
There are also thousands of Flickr groups (little discussion but lots of photos) devoted to different aspects of this same idea: Frat parties, doctor's physical exams, being naked in public (not just flashing from a alley or window), sports locker rooms, etc. My own Net photos collections are categorized in sets as such. There are also scores of Net porn sites devoted to some particular 'flavor' or scene that is strongly related to CMNM. There are also a few private and public groups on Yahoo and Tribe.net devoted to CMNM. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunbuns/375290868/in/set-72157594501819505/
