I am straight - meaning never kissed in an affectionate manner, sucked, screwed or been screwed by another man. Have no intention of doing so either. I list myself as 99% straight and 1% gay because there is a strange curiousity I have towards other males. I peek and compare in the locker room but that is where it stops. This seems to be common among all men. I don't understand it but it is there. I guess in my mind 100% straight wouldn't include such behavior. I am very health conscious and at the gym on a regular basis. I have a total appreciation for a well- trained muscular body (female or male). I see beauty in that like someone suggested elsewhere in the statue of David. I am fairly fit but genetically tall and thin. I would love to be more muscular but no matter how much I train, it is just not possible. When I see an extremely muscular male, I am attracted because that it what I want to be. I have jokingly told 10.5 on this site that he is enough to make me consider being gay.
I came to this site because I have real issues trying to find underwear that are comfortable. I typically freeball but that is a whole other thread. I have posted pictures because I get a kick out of exhibitionism. I am large and my ego is gets a real kick when I get reponses from male or female.
I don't want to draw lines or cause strife but I find the following interesting:

[quote]That's true. Labels are almost so useless I don't know why they exist. I've known people who lived as "gay" for years, then ended up dating and marrying people of the opposite gender. A friend of mine, a therapist, said that one of the most taboo topics in the gay community is the fact that sexuality changes. Some people may be "straight" for a while, then become "gay," then back again. My friend, by the way, was a lesbian, became attracted to a straight man, moved in with him had his baby, started using the term "bisexual," but as a result of her relationship with a straight man she felt the local gay community

I can understand why they are upset. Hasn't the gay community defended who they are for years by saying that gay people are born gay. It is not a choice they make. The examples given above, show that individuals switch between gay and straight based on meeting certain individuals.
Sorry for the lengthy post but most do consider me rather lengthy.
Interesting the level of heterocentrism these days on this board, like straight people here are unaware that they did not start it.
The type of person you are strongly attracted to is not a consious or deliberate choice. It extremely wrong to try to force anyone to change who they partner to suit your prejudices. The homophobia of this society is an aberration, gay people have always existed, probably an equal proportion in all societies geographically and historicly. Christian missionaries brought homophobia with them everywhere they went. Previously most societies have had a respected place (some even preferred) for their gay members. No sexual orientation is absolute, ideally one should be attracted to the person.
A person who is extremely attractive is going to affect people who would not normally notice a person of their sex.
Many people take quite a few years to learn what type of person they are attracted to and respond to.
Most frequently they start out in a straight relationship, the default mode, or because of being pushed into it by society, or to please another person who wants to partner. The proportion of gay people with children is close to that of straight people. Among lesbians, there are a few who have been alienated to men because of abuse in a straight relationship(used to be more).
We don't need to have our existence justified or approved, it's our planet too. We are not the problem, bigotry is.
