Yeah -- I can relate. While I was a comfortably heterosexual bachelor a gay friend (we never had a sexual relationship) asked if I'd like to visit a gay bathhouse in San Francisco. This was like being asked to take a peek at a forbidden "dark side." I was busy being liberal non-judgmental, and would never have otherwise had a chance. We went together. Inside we separated so he could enjoy himself, and I spent a couple hours being totally amazed at the casual, anonymous sex, with a raging hard-on under a towel on that I ultimately satisfied alone. A few years later, on another visit to San Francisco, I returned to the bathhouse, quickly found a guy in a jacuzzi who wanted to get fucked in the ass, and (with a condom) satisfied his longing. Had to find out how it felt to fuck a guy. Pretty good, actually.
