Does your gay friend (you really shouldn't reveal that) cover his and
go "Ewww," when the hero balls a babe.

Not friend, cousin, so I'm bound to him by blood whether I'm crazy
about his lifestyle or not. And no, as of the last movie we saw
together c. 1980-ish when he wasn't "out" yet, but I knew and he knew
that I knew, he was pretty much into whatever happened. We saw the
movie "She" with Ursula Andress when I was 10 and he was 9 and he was
absolutely in love with her for a while (my heart throb at the time
was Ann-Margaret in "Viva Las Vegas") . You would have to know some
background like the fact that he was really probably a true bi-sexual
as a teen, dated several girls and actually got married and had kids
before he realized he was not cut out to be a strict hetero. Maybe he
was just in denial, I don't pretend to know the psychology behind it,
but he seemed to be primarily into chicks and only get a wild hair on
the whole gay thing once in a while, almost like it was just an
opportunistic thing for him.

Reinforcing a theory of mine that most "gays" are really just "bi's" who
have given up on the opposite sex, because they want sex *now*, and the
oppopsite sex never puts out that fast.

Hard to say. I've known some who claim they never had any interest in
girls at all and some who seem to be crazy about them (my cousin being
one) but then go off and indulge in sodomitic buggery anyway. I've
heard people disparage homosexuals for saying that they've known since
they were 5 or 6 years old that they were "gay", whether they they
knew what it was called yet or not, but I personally don't have any
problem believing it because I've known I was "straight" since I was
no older than that. I didn't necessarily know WHAT the stirring in my
loins was in the presence of certain females (encountered live, on TV,
or in the swimsuit/lingerie section of Spiegal catalogs) but it
happened none the less. I finally got around when I was about 7 to
asking my mother's youngest brother who was 16 and already quite the
cocksman himself what it was and told me it was called a "hard-on" and
that being around good-looking girls caused it and furthermore that in
a few years I would figure out what I was supposed to do with it. Here
nearly 42 years later I can testify from nearly 35 years of experience
that he knew what he was talking about. Coming of age in the '70s was
a good thing from certain perspectives. <G>


I have a gay son who I know has always been gay. I noticed it when he
was around 10. The porno I caught him checking out was always male.
To make a long story short, he finally told us last year shortly after
he turned 19. That doesn't mean he doesn't like the girls. He has
always had them throwing themselves on him. To this day, his female
friends out number his mail friends 10-1. Girls call the house
non-stop. The difference is that he loves women but not in a sexual
way. This is hard for American men to fathom because they are not in
the habit of saying they love their male friends because they may be
falsely accused of homosexuality. A real man knows that you can love
a friend in a different way than one you would want to have sex with.

I don't know exactly when the whole phobia about being accused of
being gay if you openly admit you love or for that matter even admire
the physical traits of other men. I know that it hasn't always been
so. Read the writings of men from the Civil War era and you'll readily
see that they were quite willing to praise the physical
characteristics of fellow soldiers they admired, sometimes in language
so flowery that it would be guaranteed to get them accused of being
homosexuals today. However, they apparently thought nothing of it at
the time. Even as recently as WW2 reading books like _Flags of Our
Fathers_ I was struck by how many men today would think "What were
they, a bunch of fags or something?" because the author points out
that a couple of the guys died without having ever dated or even
kissed a girl. They just hung out with the guys they went to school
and played ball with. Guys today, especially ones who came of age any
time after the late '60s, don't realize that there was a time when
being sexually active prior to marriage without seeking out the
services of a whore was all but unheard of.


Lastly, anyone who thinks that guys turn gay because it's easier to
get sex that way, just hasn't paid attention to the way young women go
after young men.

That girls find homosexual men attractive is evident in the rise of
the whole "metrosexual" movement of straight guys trying to learn to
dress and behave towards women the way gay guys do because chicks dig
it. Otherwise we wouldn't need a "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy".
