What do straight guys look at on gay guys
Why do some unbent men have sex with other men?
According to nationally-representative surveys in the Joined States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.
In the fresh book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom delight in hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.
After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva set up that they relish a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly identifying with straight culture.
We spoke with Dr. Silva about his book.
Why do straight-identified men have sex with other men?
The majority of the men I interviewed reported that they are primarily attracted to women, not men. Most of these men are also married to women and prefer to have sex with women. They explained that although they loved their wives, their marital sex lives were not as active as they wanted. Sex with men allowed them to include more sex. They don’t consider sex with men cheating and s

I'm in my 20s and I've only really admitted to myself I'm queer for a couple of years. I've been on several internet dates over the past year and a half (perhaps 8 or so), combed through hundreds more profiles, met dozens of other lgbtq+ people at things favor speed dating and various gay clubs, and just not found too much that interests me. The few people who I've been really attracted to are straight. I'm a little terrified that I am somehow only really attracted to either a) taken guys and/or unachievable goals and that this is some kind psychological malady, or b) that there's something about the personality/looks of the people that I'm attracted to that is simply is rare or nonexistent in gay guys. I appreciate somewhat preppy, naturally sporty-looking guys who are simultaneously ambitious and unafraid to be themselves. They own a bit of a sharp sense of humor, maybe a little creative bent, and yet hold an odd innocence that comes from their uncalculating nature. Independent, intelligent, keen dressers, naturally trim (though prob

This article was initially published in the Winter 2007 edition of the OCD Newsletter.
OCD, as we know, is largely about experiencing harsh and unrelenting doubt. It can cause you to doubt even the most basic things about yourself – even your sexual orientation. A 1998 learn published in the Journal of Sex Research launch that among a community of 171 college students, 84% reported the occurrence of sexual intrusive thoughts (Byers, et al. 1998). In order to possess doubts about one’s sexual identity, a sufferer desire not ever have had a homo- or heterosexual experience, or any type of sexual experience at all. I have observed this symptom in adolescent children, adolescents, and adults as well. Interestingly Swedo, et al., 1989, found that approximately 4% of children with OCD experience obsessions concerned with forbidden assertive or perverse sexual thoughts.
Although doubts about one’s control sexual identity might appear pretty straightforward as a symptom, there are actually a number of variations. The most obvious shape is where a sufferer experiences the thought that they might be of a different sexual orientation than they formerly believed. If the su
What Gay and Bi Men Really Want
Are physical and sexual attraction the most appealing qualities in a partner? Or are unseen qualities like good manners and reliability the most attractive?
Following on from his research into what unbent women want and what straight men want, D&M Research’s managing director Derek Jones has taken the next logical step with his latest study into what gay and bi(sexual) men want.
In order to dig deeper and tug out a true list of turn-ons and turn-offs for gay and bi men, Derek once again used of the Im-Ex Polygraph method. He originally devised this method of analysis to distinguish what people say they want from brands, products or services from what they really want by comparing stated versus derived measures of importance.
Qualities the same-sex attracted and bi men said they desired in a partner (‘stated’) were compared to the qualities offer in example celebrities they nominated as attractive (‘implied’). The same comparison was made between stated and implied negative qualities, to determine what attributes are really the biggest turn-offs.

I recently accepted that I am lgbtq+. It has been rough for a variety of reasons, including fear that straight guys will think I am a freak. I wonder what direct guys really reflect about gay guys. Do you wonder why the hell we aren’t attracted to women? Execute you think we turned our wrong? Do you detect us disgusting? If I promise you it won’t bruise my feelings, execute you guys experience comfortable telling me what you really think of guys who are gay?

Just another person, to be judged by their actions. Similar with trans ect.
Like I have said- I don’t nurture which restroom you use- just wash your hands!
Here on this board you will generally detect us welcoming.
Unless you’re a trump supporter.

I recently standard that I am gay.
Congratulations. It took me a elongated time to arrive to terms with my own sexuality.
I think you’ll identify that “straight men” is not a monolithic group with uniform reactions. Some will react as you fear they might, others will have no particular reaction, still others will be just as curious about you as you are about them. It may support to remember some rea
