I've had a weird process of coming to terms with my sexuality later in life, and I've been wondering about the nature of sexual relationships in the gay community. In the process of coming to terms, I've been trying to figure out the nature of relationships and friendships as I've navigated an open relationship, almost formed friendships with guys I've kissed at bars, and remained close to my former boyfriend who wanted the open relationship I did not want. I just met a guy at a bar, for example, where I don't know if he wanted to be friends or possible lovers.
I'm curious about how many gay men have slept with friends, and whether those friends were initially hook ups or if the sex came later into the platonic friendship.
In the poll, you can select multiple choices to reflect your experiences (there are sort of two questions in one poll). I would define the term friend as someone you hang out with platonicly, the same as you would a straight or female friend. So the questions are geared toward someone you see for more than just sex.
If you have any stories, I'd love to hear them. How your hook up melted into a non-sexual friendship or how your friendship became a sexual one (and how it affected the friendship) or how your hook up became both a friendship and a sexual outlet.
