it's not that much of a challenge anymore, there's a tidal wave of "str8 but curious" guys out there now, maybe cuz of the internet, guys can check out gay porn anonymously? and then they see it's just normal guys havin fun? instead of isolating it in their minds as the opposite of who they are?
Hey man, I think that is totally the case. I hooked up with countless "straight" guys when I was in college. I think many if not most guys have at least some degree of sexual attraction to other guys. In the past when there was no internet the only way to explore this was to hang out in a cruisy mens room, go to a cruisy park, or go to a gay bar.
There are a lot of guys (myself included) who would NEVER be caught dead in one of these places trying to pick up dudes. Too damn much chance of getting busted by the cops (like Larry Craig did), and being publicly humiliated, losing their job, rejected by their family, etc, etc. Now with the Internet guys can now explore their homosexual fantacies by looking at gay porn in the privacy of their own home, and even meet up with a like minded dude on craigslist, Adam4 adam, or even Match.com and try it out without anyone finding out.
Honestly, if it had not been for the internet I seriously doubt that I would have ever done anything sexual with another guy because before the internet I knew of exactly two gay guys and both of the guys were so flaming they would have set the closet on fire if they tried to hide in it. LOL
