Having sex with men is not what straight men do, any more than having sex with men on a regular basis is what lesbians do.
But there are gay men who marry women and who would never consider having sex with anyone other than their wives: that does not mean that they're not gay. Sexuality is about what's in someone's mind, someone's psyche; it's not about what someone does with his mouth or genitals. A man can experiment with another man. He may discover that other men don't hold sexual attraction or romantic interest for him. Just because he tried it to see what all the fuss is about doesn't mean he has crossed the line into full-time ass piracy. Now, a guy who
'tries it' time after time after time ... I'm sorry, that indicates something other than mere curiosity.

Exactly my point, DMW. That's why, in my posts, I used the word "repeatedly." Of course an experiment, especially in the younger, curious, formative years does not identify the orientation. Repeated acts over a period of time do not constitute experimentation - hence my lesbian and drug analogies.
And your reference to gay men married to women brings up another of my points - DENIAL. I could use Brucester as a good example. From reading many of his posts, I would definitely describe him as straight. He seems to have no problem with gays, but being straight, he just simply has no desire to have sexual contact with men. IMHO, that is what straight means. I am gay, I have nothing against women, and there are several women I love dearly, I just have no interest in having sex with them. That's what gay means. In between those two extremes, it would seem to me, are those individuals who are bisexually oriented. That means that they are neither straight nor gay.
A straight man who repeatedly has sexual contact with men is strikingly similar to the vegetarian who still eats steaks, pork chops, and fried chicken.
