As straight men on a website that is more heavily catered to Bi/Gay men and Straight women, what insights have you gained from your time on this forum?

Has it given you better insight into your sexuality? or helped you understand women, trans and bi/gay men better?

Any former views that have been reinforced or debunked?

Just a few questions I had in mind.

It’s really had no affect on me.
In terms of women, my closest friends have always been women, so there’s not much change there

I am surprised at how many gay men are obsessed with having sex with straight guys and with the nutty notion that all men are gay given the right circumstances. I had previously assumed that gay guys recognized the boundaries.

I reiterate what @twoton has said really, I can only really add that being sexually involved with other couples, being part of various types of sex parties and similar events I've met and been around all sorts of people from different backgrounds and who have a variety of sexual preferences which has shaped my options far more than anything I read online.

@twoton said a lot right off the bat. Didn’t learn a whole lot I hadn’t already known/heard. Maybe confirmed some things I had heard about. I am hoping the creepy “I can swing the straights” is an online only exclusive. Given the absurd amount of homophobia out there, I hope this isn’t played as a game IRL, someone’s gonna end up hurt. Despite it being online only, please stop, it’s rude and arrogant beyond belief. I guess I learned that that can be a thing, but I’m hoping/assuming that’s a small part of the population.

Have to say I'm in line with some of what @twoton said but being a younger guy I'd say I've learned a bit and gained good insight form alot of the women here, specifically @AlteredEgo , I know she's not around much any more but her and the other ladies here have made it a great experience here.

No my sexuality has not been changed because I know what I like and want contrary to what so e guys think not all people are bi.

Like what twoton said it has shown me that there are alot off men that are obsessed with having sex with straight men, I do realise that it is probably more isolated to this site because after speaking with some gay members here I know that all gay men are not like this and the majority are normal people unlike some of the members of this site.

If it were not for some of those members, many who have since left like Invisible man, I'd say that this place paints a terrible picture of bi and gay men. I know that just because a person is gay doesn't mean that automatically have a lot of tolerance but the amount of intolerance among the guys here is insane. From the bi-phobia to the misogyny the intolerance is staggering

Agree with @twoton.
@wsnki07 Strangely the pressure of some idiotic questions help me understand the pressure that some men can inflict on woman with obsessive and stubborn behavior.
Some men chooses the road of self boicot looking for the impossible, I saw it on straight friends on real life and here with gay men.
If someone states his orientation online asume that is his real identity and not a closet one since there is no social pressure. I know on real life can be harder but this virtual environment helps to be free.
Regarding the gay world over here seams less gay, on movies paint as free sex whenever you want anywhere but looking at the repetitive question here I assume it’s harder.
I had little transsexual real life experience, nothing sexual obviously.

Nothing has really changed for me, I've always been open minded and hell honestly being on here makes me think that gay/bi guys get a ton more action than us straight dudes!

As far as my experience goes, I have had more than a few inappropriate inbox messages, but I don't hold it against the community at large. It just makes me understand what women go through when us straight guys act like creeps.

I also appreciate the compliments that I get from everyone regardless of gender and orientation. Men don't really receive compliments like that in life, so for someone to say "hey dude, nice cock", it actually boosts my morale. People under estimate how much a body positive comment can do for a person.

(A long long time ago) I had a couple experiences in bars when gay guys wouldn't take the hint that I wasn't interested, and it occurred to me that women have to put up with that all the time.

Most of my views and support of the LGBT community were already in place before I came here, which in itself was a gradual progression formed by years of experiences with co-workers who were open, working at gay clubs and other venues as an outside contractor and relatives that came out. So nothing has really changed as far as online dealings, since I believe in interacting with anyone here the same way I have in real life as just a person first and any orientation is secondary and irrelevant.

Somewhat along the lines like @longstroke7 said, even though I have no current interest in exploring genitals other than on a woman, I do appreciate the comments I may have received here, even if it's from other dudes. While I admit that it would be much nicer and self-affirming to receive such compliments from the female members here, but I realize those odds are slim indeed given the nature of the beast when it comes to the differences in male & female interactions online, so anything positive and both respectful and non-graphic no matter where it's coming from, will usually make me feel better about myself.

However I do have to emphasis what many have already pointed out in that if there has been any negative it's been the persistent obsession some gay or bi dudes here with seducing or converting a straight man. I wholly realize that these guys are only a segment of this site so in no way represent the LGBT community at large, either online and certainly not in real life. However the issue I would take and that they themselves should realize is that it does them no good if one is trying to change the hearts and minds of anyone who might be less embracing of differences if not outright homophobic. For too many years the stereotype of gay men was to be unfairly accused of trying to "convert" straights (or even children) into their lifestyle and something an entire generation fought to overcome for acceptance. It simply does no good, if not outright harm, when someone who is already bigoted might see the straight-obsessed posts and use that to only confirm what they already believe.

I will say about the only really negative and disquieting thing I have learned by being on this site which is not necessarily tied into orientation (even though unfortunately more guys that identify as gay here seem to post it) is the constant prevalence and acceptance of incest content. Until I joined here I never realized such stomach-churning fantasies were so wide-spread and never will understand why it's allowed given the tight control over under-age posts. While according to the rules there may be a legal difference, to me there is no moral one.

Ive always seen men as (usually necessarily)opportunistic in the sexual market, so as annoying as the hypothetical constructs and boundary tests are coming from gay and bisexual men..they're not exactly news to me, what surprised me more is the mental gymnastics they go through to explain and put forth their obvious and somewhat aggressive desire for men doesnt make them gay or bisexual, but some form of "straight".
When it comes to women and gender norms, I often find this site to be simultaneously illuminating and blinding, because it introduces a lot of opinions and viewpoints that dont translate at all to the reality I have experienced in interacting with women...which somewhat reaffirms my resolve to react and consider less of what women say and measure my steps more upon what they do.

My views and most of my opinions on sexuality and gender have not changed, because I had already formed them well before coming here.

What I have learned from being here are completely different things. Most of it about internet personification and gratification, the use and abuse of anonymity, weaponizing of social media platforms, how people will go to great lengths to lie about the greatest of minutia, manipulation, etc, etc.

Mostly I have learned useful but bad shit about human nature.

What I will caution all of the straight males in this particular forum on is essentially this; don't be to quick to take trolls at their word.

Have you ever seen the real "gay" people you know in real life say any of the stupid shit you have seen come out here?

Fuck with the trolls, don't let them fuck with you; you're better than that

Finally, a decent question!

I ended up here doing research for body dysmorphia (specifically sps). Some thoughts:

- I'm a 50-something dude, and guys brag and exaggerate; but the lengths folks will go to, in order to convince people they are much larger than they really are, is amazing. Camera tricks, fake rulers, photoshop, etc... I had no idea.

- I've had the spam emails about pills, pumps and whatnot to make your dick bigger, but the bloated penises and extraordinary claims of girth were kind of shocking in the prevalence.

- The fetishes represented by a lot of the questions across the board. Wow. Just wow.

- Gender stuff, nothing really has changed. I've rolled along with society's acceptance of the gay/bi/whatever thing like everybody else. I never really cared, tbh. The "accept my worldview" demands over the last decade or two are annoying, but there are all sorts of topics that covers besides sexuality or gender.

It's somewhat of a dichotomy in that what I already knew/believed was generally reinforced. I learned a lot of things that I had no idea were even a thing...

I don't read the "Ask a Gay Man" forum the "Ask a Woman" or "Ask A Bi", etc. I stick to "Ask a Man" and "Ask a Straight Man". So, no, it hasn't changed my opinion on "alternate" lifestyles. I basically try to be a "to each his own"-type guy. If gay is your thing, wonderful. It's just not for me.

I have learned that I have company about my own craziness about sex, sex acts, etc. Men from all over the world seem to enjoy many of the same things I do.

I don't know if that's comforting or that it illustrates what a bunch of perverts there are in this world.

I learned that there are a whole lot of people as horny or hornier than me and with all different tastes and kinks. It's OK, and should be more accepted as long as everyone agrees and nobody gets hurt or taken advantage of. I think it has made me more open to others and understanding of their wants and views.

I can't say I've learned too much. I found the site after seeing an HBO documentary and did a search for Jonha Falcone (spelling?)-- But I'd say to the OP " thank you " for a truly thoughtful question that doesn't rehash the same re-hashed topics ..

Pretty much my view as well. I was already a freak to begin with before LPSG lol. Its opened my mind mainly to how many other men have big-cock fetishes though, whether bi or gay

I learned that there are many straight men who like to be naked with other men sbd they are afraid to say that as they would appear gay.
This is ask straight men and only straight and the op can answer.
I was accused of been gay on the past without ever doing anything gay so i give a shit about what people thinks especially when they throw shit.
Years of locker rooms on different sports and I wouldn’t say I like been naked with other man, produces no emotion, it’s necessary to arrive clean home.
