    My point is that he had no choice in the matter. All he did was rationalize the cognitive dissonance, hardly reinventing the wheel, philosophically speaking, at least.

    If a bloke's girl said "Oh, I hope you don't mind, but sometimes I like to lez off", the bloke would probably get a massive bulge in his jocks and ask if he could join in some time. It just doesn't really apply to the opposite scenario methinks.

    Speaking from experience, this isn't as great as it sounds. An ex of mine once asked me if I'd be okay with her shifting one of our female friends at a party one time, and naturally, being a randy young man with the above mindset, I was all for it. The reality was it ended up making me feel pretty uncomfortable.

    What on earth are you talking about? He had no choice in the matter? Who made him get gay? Who made him overcome his disgust at the idea?

    There's certain things I wouldn't do sexually with someone I was in a relationship with because I'd never be able to look at them again. For some people a certain image of a person can shatter what they thought of that person. Call it homophobia if it makes ya feel better about it but don't expect everyone to agree with your victimhood.

    To be honest I'd be the same, but that's more to feeling like I'm intruding. Generally not a fan of being in close proximity to PDA's regardless of who the couple is (gay or straight).

    People not having the same interests as you is not the same as homophobia and that kind of is really doing a disservice to people who are seeking equality.


    I agree completely. Its was just a joke.

    Oh god...

    OK let's break this down. Separate sex from romantic attraction(difficult for some I grant you). The chap stated gay sex was "disgusting" to him, that does not mean he wasn't romantically attracted to men and only men. There are gay men out there who don't do penetration. It's not their thing. They're still gay. There are asexual folks for whom sex has no appeal at all and they may even find it disgusting, but many of those same folks have a gender preference in who they fall in love with, are attracted to.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    No ffs. I always had an attraction to men but I felt disgusted by it because I was brought up to think that. I was disgusted but always drawn to it without my control.

    The only thing I had to force myself to do was overcome my revulsion to my attraction towards men.

    Why is vanilla, an expensive, exotic, pungent, black spice, used as a synonym for white, bland and boring?

    Oh and evidence mounts on a yearly basis that in the case of gay men there are subtle differences in brain structure when compared to straight men*. They are born that way, they don't chose it, nor do they "get the gay" on a whim. It's not catching either lest some get worried.

    Put it another way if you're a solid no doubts about it heterosexual man, then no amount of persuasion is gonna make you become homosexual.





    *AFAIR no such markers have been found in gay women.

    Because it's the most underwhelming of the ice-creams.

    "Would you like a bowl of ice-cream?"

    "Yes please! What ice-cream have you got?"

    "Vanilla."

    :(

    I'd presume it's because it's the goto flavour in ice cream and such for those who are not sure what they want. It's the generic, the most consumed. Strawberry probably got a look in too. :)

    But if it's underwhelming it's because they're only putting trace amounts in to make it that way. It''s not vanilla's fault people aren't eating it properly!

    edit: Vanilla actually seems to be asexual/onanistic

    Boring plain ice cream

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    This so much. Bisexual men give me the creeps. Op I'm glad women don't sleep with you.

    Although I've found women can be mad for the "effeminate" type guy and the guy who does the whole "I'm sensitive to women" (to get laid) thing.

    E.g. Russell Brand. And a friend of mine, with a crazy amount of female "conquests" over the years, even though people who don't know him just assume he's gay.
