Mancrush

LegacyUser

Hey lads,

I don't want this deleted but if it is then fair enough, I don't really want it in the LGBT forum either because its a question for straight guys. This is more of a general musing, playing on the fact that guys can post here anomonously.

Have any of you ever kissed another guy? or thought about it? or been confused even slightly at any point in your life? This is stemming from a debate i've been having with my wife. She's basically saying that if guys were brave enough, they'd admit to at least once at some point in their lives 'considering' another guy in a confused or sexual way. I disagree. But one of my mates was pretty open and frank in saying that although straight, there was once in his life when he was younger that he met a guy he was 'curious' about but said he'd never have acted on those feelings. My wife said she's kissed girls before and that although she knows she's attracted only to men, she has had girls she'd admire and kiss even if she didn't get the same kick out of it, she maintains that guys check each other out and have similar 'mancrushes' but that they never dare admit it for fear of people thinking they were gay.

Over to the floor, should be interesting.

Never happened to me. Don't know about most guys, but I find men repugnant and ugly and I'm surprised any woman find us attractive.

This isn't me trying to act all manly or anything, this is me just personally talking from my POV.

Cant say I have.

I can appreciate when a man is handsome,say someone like Colin Farrell or whoever but as for fancying them or thinking about experimenting ,its never entered my head.Different strokes for different folks though!

No, I can honestly say I have never had a mancrush.

OP, I am a straight male and I can say, I have been curious about it, but never with one particular male.


When I was 15/16 me and a friend, my only friend at the time used to masturbate next to each other, and while he was not physically attractive it was OK with me.

One night when I was staying in his house I went into his bed and we did kiss a bit and fondled each other but thats as far as it went.

I am not gay at all but I am curious about it, but that's just because I like the taboo. I am now 20, and not really looking for a repeat performance, but I have to say, if I ever had the oppertunity to repeat with someone random and noone could possibly find out and there was a man I was attracted to, then I don''t know if I would refuse.

If ye knew who I was on this site it would surprize ye to read this coming from me.

I have never talked or posted about this since that night in my friends bed, it's relieving!

I think to an extent all men can appreciate how if another man is good looking. But not necessarily be attracted.

There maybe a handful of men I will say "ok, for a guy, he's not bad looking" but for the majority of guys, the overwhelming majority of blokes out there are just plain not good looking (myself included on that btw), let alone attractive

Ive never had a "mancrush", i dont find men attractive at all. I can appreciate when a man is handsome or good looking though

OP - lots of women go to the bathroom together for company and pee in the same cubicle but its not a guy thing. Some girls often do "hugs" and stuff and are more demonstrative whereas guys are a more a handshake thing.So maybe girls are more inquisitive. Lots of womens mags are close to soft porn in pics and editorial content and some models are androgynous in a teenage boy way.

I know one guy who had a thing for me and I politely ignored it. Its not my thing.So I have never had the hots for a guy.

Two male friends from college had a fling of sorts and in a jokey way we referred to them as the bi-virgins. My straight son who is starting college has a friend that is openly gay and his orientation is accepted by his friends.So in that way the world has moved on.

OP maybe your wife has a bit of a fantasy of seeing two guys at it and one of them being you;)

I'm straight but I've kissed 5 or 6 or 7 lads. *shrug* First time was, I guess, to prove my openness. Dunno who I was trying to prove it to but there ya go. After that, just bein drunk and havin a laugh. Only mates like, just for the LOLs but sure no harm done (except one of the lads was gay and has a little fancy for me). Tbh, I don't see the big deal to it. I'd be more confused about my sexuality if it bothered me to kiss another lad.

There were a few lads back in secondary school who I would have thought of as good-looking. Back then of course would never have thought I was "gay" , given it was about the vilest insult you could call someone , and that I fancied / fell for girls in my class etc.

In college there was a lad going out with one of the girls in the house , who I kinda admired ?? , I guess , in that he was very confident , and had a kinda of "manlieness" , that I didn't have. I think it was a bit if a "mancrush".
Then there was a few other lads , who I thought were very good looking.
I remember one night in the pub wondering what it would be like to kiss one of them. And it was odd in that I think he have picked up on it , as he was said something your so gay or something to me !

And i've thought a few friends of mine as good looking since then too.

But I don't think i'm actually gay , as say gay porn would be something that I've never looked and pics like that repulses me , and would never think of doing anything more than kissing a guy.

I guess that not being too sucessfull with the ladies makes me analysis this more than it needs
