Don't ruin this for me!
And the nudity?
Showing up to a battle without swinging dong is just leaving free psychological warfare on the table.
Too risky, gonna need dong armor for the battle boner.
Riding into battle without any armour, as vulnerable as being nude, is also an old power fantasy element seen in quite a few myths and stories
Men only want one thing.
Pretty sure Jesus himself used to ride on bears back
Nah, he used to ride his apostles "bareback". But I see how you might confuse the two.
There are certified theological records that show Jesus only rode dinosaurs. Bears hadn't evolved yet.
He was being an ass so they shooed him and the bear away with palm fronds
I would like to point out the bears are themselves also naked. Bunch of hypocrites!
I think you have to introduce your children to them at a young age
