We do these things because we dont want to live on the sidewalk eating out of a dumpster. We continuously engage in sexual activities we dont enjoy because...why?
...because we want to get laid and have awesome orgasms. But the person we really want just isn't willing to put out. I believe that we need to achieve orgasms (alone and with others) just as much as we need to pay rent or even breath.
Having sex you don't enjoy isn't as terrible as people seem to think. Hell, sex is terrible for everyone until you get enough experience under your belt to really know what you're doing.Just like with any other specific activity, you need to fail before you succeed. So it's not fun before it becomes fun.
I don't think sexuality is about preferring men over women or vice versa. It's about accruing enough experience so that it can stop being unfulfilling and unenjoyable. Whether or not the experience you're accruing is gay or straight is...almost entirely irrelevant most of the time if you ask me.
Ive never pined over, got depressed or anxious over a guy. Never seen one on screen and thought, "daaaaamn, what I wouldnt give to get with that dude." I read that post where some guy was espousing the merits of man-blowjob which included the phrase "stubble on my thighs" and thought...ew.
None of that means you haven't been in a situation where what you think of as homo-erotic behavior wouldn't have been appropriate for an intimate relationship. It's not about "getting with that dude/chick". Quite honestly, that's rude and unwelcome most of the time. It's not even about sex really.
It's about the relationships in your life. Telling a true [male] friend that's pining over you, "Nope, I'm straight!" can be very disrespectful and dismissive. Your friend could be wanting and needing your help, and that's a big deal. Treat them as if they are your lover even though they're not. That's real empathy right there; I think it requires that you allow the idea of romance between the two of you to enter your head...at least for those kind of conversations, you know? So I think in some small way, a straight guy becomes a little gay in these situations.
But shutting down the entire conversation just because your straight? You might end up shutting down the entire friendship along with it. It breaks the trust in that friendship. I see this all the time. I don't know if I'm describing it that well, but making sure gay people aren't excluded is just as much your responsibility as it is mine. I believe that means not being 100% straight all of the time, even though you've never actually pined for gay sex.
