imit8him,
To be honest with you...these types of discussion and conversation goes on all the time and not only just with men..Women do the same...
Remember we are all human and have the same mind...christian or non christian...It is what is in the heart of a person to determine the difference.. The sin is when one talks offensively about another...

I believe it is all right to discuss a supermodel’s looks as long as sinful words or thoughts are not in the equation. The moment lust or objectification enters the picture it is SIN.
It is not a matter of right and wrong. The Bible speaks of physical beauty. David was “ruddy and good-looking.” Look at the Song of Songs.
If these friends of yours speak without grace and thusly are guilty of sinful speech, then you have no business in going along. You may not be in a position to request them to stop, but you should not contribute and should fall silent the moment their comments hit the gutter.
I’m surprised you even mentioned this – body parts, gets dirty – and you ask us this?
As for ‘tasteful’ description of physical beauty…
One time years ago I was walking at night going to a bar with a non-believer coworker. A nearly 6” tall woman, blonde, elegant, wearing expensive clothing walked by. She had class and confidence. She was certainly attractive, but my reaction was one of admiration. After she’d passed us, I exclaimed in awe, “what a beautiful woman.” My coworker friend laughed perhaps because I sounded like a child. I wonder if the woman heard me.
The point is, it is not a sin to broach the issue of how beautiful a woman is or how handsome a man is. The problem is that it can easily lead to sin. You as a man should not speak of a woman’s body parts; draw the line at her face (hair, eyes – and eyes are a good thing to focus on because not only can eye color be pleasant, but something about the eyes of people can be telling about what sort of folks they are).
You’re young, aren’t you?

. My friends and I never bash looks of anyone. Ever. I do think those people will gravitate to each other so for them it will never end.
