Straight guys thinking they're gay

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by CrimsonThunder, Dec 19, 2007.

  1. This reminds me of an episode of the office where Andy thinks he is gay and keeps talking to Oscar about it. Someone tells Andy he isn't gay and he says "Thank god."

    Gullible insecure people are funny.

    This reminds me of something I talked about with my straight women friends..

    What would straight men "prefer" if they had to pick one: making out with another guy, or letting another guy give him a bj?
    -I said a straight guy would probably prefer making out since it doesn't involve anything too private.
    -The girls said a straight guy would prefer the bj because making out is more emotional/physical involving the entire body and he could just pretend that it was a girl giving the oral sex.

    What do you all think?

    Actually I would have to go with the bj. Because it lacks the intimacy the guy can just (sort of) remove himself from the homosexual situation.

    I believe it
    When I came out to my best friend, he said it made him think about his own sexuality and how deep his feelings for me were.
    He concluded that they're purely brotherly.

    Pretty much everything is scientific, whether or not you like it. That's all I have to add.

    Just because you've never met one that is truly bi doesn't mean they don't exist.

    Where on Earth did you get that statistic? Kinsey, in the only large, detailed study ever conducted on human sexuality, said that only about 10% of the population was entirely gay (Kinsey 6) or straight (Kinsey 0). Everyone else, according to his research, is somewhere on the continuum. Other, smaller studies support that idea (though sometimes with varying percentages). I have never seen any data that supports the notion that most people are 100% one way or the other.

    And as far as having never met a bisexual person... would you tell a farmer in rural China who has never met a Caucasian person that Caucasians don't exist? The argument is equally specious.

    Please name something non-religious that can't be related to or explained in a scientific way. You can't.

    So, what may I ask are the people that are not included in your quantifier?
    (Surely you knew you couldn't get away with making such a statement without starting an arguement :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: .)

    On topic though, I could sort of believe what the original statement claimed. While I am not attracted to women at all, there have been a few occasions where I have been curious about having sex with a woman. Nothing too graphic, but more just curious about how it would be not to have another guy there in bed with me. I could imagine that straight people may wonder just the opposite, without ever actually desiring to participate in it.

    I've had the desire to have the desire for women, but it never worked out.

    Wow, old thread.
    I'm gonna add to it though, by saying that not many are 100% either way in my opinion. I have some attracting to VERY FEW girls, and mostly boys. Vaginas creep me out - the looks of them anyway. I haven't got any closer (or wanted to). But I have no issue with boobs, we can co-exist quite happily. So female genitalia is probably the major issue with my attractions.

    First I do realize this is an old thread.

    I do want to say that I think everyone is reading too much into the original claim. All it says is that a few random fantasies from time to time does not determine your sexual orientation.

    For those that immediately pipe up and say I've never had a fantasy about a woman, I've always been gay. Well I'm sure a lot of straight guys had a simular response. That was the point of the claim that a few random fantasies should not make you uncomfortable with your orientation.

    I mostly agree with fallendream. I consider myself to be gay, it's not true that I don't feel any kind of attraction toward women. I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with one, but I can usually perceive and, under certain circumstances, even slightly enjoy their physical beauty. I can even feel somewhat sexually aroused by them. It's nothing compared to what I feel toward men, but it's there.

    As to scientifically studying homosexuality (and all the other letters in LGBT), not only do I think it's possible, but that it's necessary. We obviously don't fully understand human sexuality yet. I think that figuring it out would make individuals and cultures rethink the way they handle sexuality, and maybe accept it better. We tend to have a more positive attitude about something when we can classify it under the categories of a scientific system. It stops being obscure and becomes "natural".

    I totally agree.

    For me, being gay or any other gender is more of a psychological thing made by choice. We make choices of what we really are and then soon continue to live with that decision, therefore labeling us.

    I personally think that that isn't just applicable to sexuality. It is quite universal. What you choose is what you live for.

    That is for my opinion though. No contradictions or opposition to others' ideas. :icon_bigg

    Both APAs (Psychological and Psychiatric Associations) as well as the National Association of Social Workers are clear on the point that sexual orientation is not a choice, and we do not have the ability to choose our sexual orientation any more than we can choose our shoe size or height or anything else.

    There were some interesting points raised earlier in the thread. One that's been of interest to me is the issue of anal sex. It is true that males, whether straight or gay, will find extreme pleasure from having their prostate properly stimulated. By the same token, a totally heterosexual male who is, say, blindfolded and received a BJ from a guy will have the same physical pleasure from that as if it were from a woman.

    But... these are physiological reactions, and have nothing to do with attraction or sexual orientation. It's just the way our bodies are hardwired. This is one of the things that's always concerned me a little bit about those models that appear on "straight guy goes gay" porn sites. I could see that a totally straight guy who bottoms for another guy could end up very confused when he realized that the anal stimulation feels really good. I doubt any of the studios that shoot that stuff sit down with their models and explain that what one experiences physically and what one feels emotionally drawn to are different.

    Likewise, I think that straight guys can have very close relationships with deep feelings for other guys, but those feelings aren't sexual and don't affect the person's sexual orientation.

    The people who are gay (or on the gay end of the spectrum) are the ones who feel emotionally connected to other men, and who enjoy sexual activity -- but not necessarily *all* sexual activities; some guys hate anal, for example -- with guys, and find themselves aroused by guys. The boy who simply ejaculated from a blowjob received from a male classmate when they were both 13, but didn't feel any emotional connection or actual sexual arousal (other than the orgasm itself) is likely not gay, or closer to the heterosexual side of the spectrum.

    I'm pretty sure I'm gay but I have had fantasies about girls. Sometime I even dream about having sex with a girl, resulting in wet undies after.

    I'm always kinda puzzled by these articles. People try to come up with a dozen excuses as to why they're not gay, it looks like gays in denial some of the time. Some are plausible, for example anal sex. That's just simple biology, men have prostates, it's pleasurable to stimulate them, and that's pretty much the only to reach it. You want a girl to have anal sex with with a strap-on, and claim to be straight, that I can understand.

    But some attempts just seem ridiculous to me. I mean, claiming not to be gay just because you relarly have sexual fantasies about men? Or claiming not to be gay just because you're attracted to men? Isn't that pretty much exactly what it is to be gay (or at least bi)? I've even seriously seen some people try to pass themselves off as straight right after admitting to enjoying gay porn. I mean, come out already.

    I get so pissed off when girls pretend to be bi/gay so guys will notice them!! I think it creates problems for people who actuallly are gay and especially for people who are bi.

    I was just looking for some advice on this topic and wondering what the rest of you think :slight_smile:

    My boyfriend and I were dating for 10 months when he broke things off with me suddenly a few days after I got home from a 3 week vacation. He says that he has been having mixed feelings and when I asked him about it, he said he wasn't sure if he was even gay anymore. While I was away, it gave him the chance to spend more time with his girl best friend (since early April) who has had a crush on him. 2 weeks after he broke up with me, they started dating eachother . Now, since he is still in high school and deals with the pressures of fitting in, is it possible that he started dating his best friend so that people would stop assuming and accusing him of being gay. Or, is it possible that he was scared of the thought of being gay and once he came across emotional feelings for another girl he just went for it to see if things could change?

    I know it seems stupid to be asking these questions, and I have already been asking about this on another board. I would just like to hear others opinions.
