I read that emotional intimacy between straight males can cause heterosexual guys to query their sexuality. It seems very bizarre to me that this could shake a person's sexual orientation. This is not a poll to stoke fantasies so please can straight men only respond. Even if you are 1% gay do not respond. I'm expecting 100% for option A - no.
Please only answer poll if straight

Straight privilege ensures you'll never get 100% accuracy, because closeted gay and bisexual men that aren't looking to lose their straight privilege will never identify as anything else.
Yes. I'm surprised at option 3 where straight people pushed these feelings down. So emotionally sharing vulnerability can shake people's orientation. Interesting.
I'm not sure there's much privilege in being closeted. Yes one benefits from straight privilege to some extent but aren't their relationships/marriages constructed on a lie? People that sacrifice straight privilege for authenticity are the ones who ultimately have privilege. Harsh but true.
You know you are going to get Gay members answering & spoiling this poll regardless of you insisting that they don't answer.
This happens every time a poll is meant for Straight members..it is ruined by Gay & Bi members.
Such a shame.
Option 2+3 = 9 votes
Option 1 = 12 votes.
Surprising results but I do wonder if the bi or gay orientation of the voters has distorted the results. Can more straight people vote please.

Its ok i think, we get very horny in the past and jacked each other off releasing in cock or stomach but that's the extent of it. Just curious of how a different man's cock feel in my hand, friendship is just a good bonus
I keep my emotions and deepest thoughts to myself. I'm even guarded with what I share with my wife, who is my best friend, So, no, I don't have homoerotic feelings.

The first response doesn't need the "no way!!" at the end... just sayin.
I voted no, because that doesn't have anything to do with sexual feelings.
Males primarily have a visually driven sex drive, and opportunity driven.
Talk doesn't have much to do with it.

I have never, ever heard of this before. I have had deeply personal conversations with both men and women and there was absolutely nothing sexual about it in any way. Being close to another man doesn't impact my straightness. I'm only interested in woman in a romantic or sexual way. The idea of being sexual with a man has never cross my mind at any point in my life. There are 4 Billion women out there, so there's no reason for me to every consider a man in any way.

No, but not sure why you stressed “No way!!” Seems to make choosing this answer to be judgmental of the other possibilities as well as “Not at all.”

Most of the straight guys on here are emphatically negative when asked about same sex experiences which amounts to a 'no way', perish the thought reaction. That informed my response choice.
Those people aren't straight, shame you didn't make it a public poll where voters profiles and so sexuality could be shown, by making it a closed poll, you invited the Gay & Bi members to vote despite asking them not to. So no not interesting at all.
Well perhaps you should have made it an open poll but you didn't & so it is your fault Gay & bi men are answering & messing up the results.
64% of people chose 'no way' option which means straight people have answered. Your logic makes little sense.
It makes perfect sense, if the poll had been for Straight people only as you claim, then that 64% would have been much higher, in the mid to late 90's but you didn't.
You could have asked the Moderators to make it so but you didn't.
Long term committed relationships with women and family legacy are a privilege for straight men as is, for all the feel-good of "authenticity" it is essentially a sacrifice of the aforementioned things. Most men will be automatically selected out of getting a romantic relationship with a woman or getting the opportunity to sire and raise their own children if they openly deviate from heterosexuality. And that's before you get into issues of respect in workplace, authority/leadership, and others.
