I'm happy to have helped you embrace your inner homo. I'd be even happier if you'd embrace MY outer homo.I could no longer live the lie of my heterosexuality after seeing Fortiesfun's cock.
As you know, HotBulge, this is a question that interests me greatly, and about which I started a thread myself to address. The problem here is largely one of definitions, but I am not sure you have solved it.The real question that all men must ask of themselves at some point or another is
So many men avoid the first question because they don't identify with being "gay" as a cultural i.e. waiving the rainbow flag, Fire-island loving, Barabara Streisand listening, thin waist/big muscle, tight-clothes wearing, dancing to techno "thud, thud" music, etc. The first question obscures the second question where, if men are truly honest with themselves, they will admit to some %-age of homosexuality.
- not, "Are you gay?" but rather
- "Are you a homosexual?"
Though I agree with your premise that "Gay" has cultural connotations, I think that "having" some percentage of homosexuality is not the same as what is implied by "Are you a homosexual?" and that formulation does not avoid the problems you identify with the formulation "Are you gay?". In research the questions about being gay and about being homosexual do not get much different answers. If asked about specific male-male behavior without labeling, however, the numbers are hugely different, almost 70% (depending on the base figure you use) more responding that they've had some post-adoloscent sexual experience with another man at least once in their life than are willing to call themselves, even a little bit, gay.
I strongly suspect that every man (even those who jump into this thread to vehemently deny it) has the biological capacity and plasticity of orientation for Male-Male sexuality, but that does not define how they see themselves, and frankly, I am not among those who think it should define who they are.
