by Anonymousreply 28September 29, 2022 4:29 PM

I occasionally cuddle with a straight bro of mine. He is very affectionate, and has explicitly said he expects his friends to be physically expressive and affectionate with him. At first, I thought he just meant hugs and verbal expression, but over time, we would end up, cuddling, watching movies in football. I’ve seen other straight dudes cuddle with guys too. No, he has never tried to cross the line from platonic to sexual or romantic. I definitely would never initiate anything untoward. With him, it’s all wholesome platonic affection.

It's probably primal. Males were cavemen for many more eons than they were hetero family guys. A man's most important people were his bros. And if they were on a hunt or something- and it was cold- you better believe they huddled (and possibly more).

by Anonymousreply 57October 16, 2022 12:51 PM

This is always the question I have that goes back and forth in my mind - what constitutes gay? Does sexual activity constitute gay? Does that mean someone is not officially gay until they have sex? That obviously makes no sense. Someone can be gay without ever having sex. Is there an emotional component to being gay? Is cuddling with someone more intimate than jacking off with them? The animal kingdom, which humans are a part of, is very complex and very rarely black and white. But we paint something as complex as sexuality as something very black and white. Can men get aroused around each other, play with each other in a purely physical way without it being gay? What makes a gay man a gay man? I don't think there is a clear answer. And I don't think defining it by sexual activity is the answer either.

by Anonymousreply 58October 16, 2022 1:43 PM

There have been times in history, in certain cultures - western and otherwise - where sex was soley defined as something two human beings did with each other and not defined by who you did it with. There was not good or bad, gay, bi or straight. It was all viewed through the same lense. There were love affairs between men and love affairs between women. Julius Ceasar was even associated having well documented love affairs with both men and women. People just had sex with whomever - out of lust, politics or procreation.

And I would imagine in the millennia before female birth control where sex could lead to a death sentence for women when it came to childbirth, there was a lot more recreational sex in all forms between men. And no one thought one way or another about it.

by Anonymousreply 59October 16, 2022 1:51 PM

It seems like a generation gap. I can imagine showing this to straight male friends who would roll their eyes and said “that’s gay” but I’m in my 40s.

Guessing some 20 year olds would have a different reaction. Also might depend what region you’re in/what context. I always assume the younger generation is so more liberal/gay friendly but who knows. A bunch of fraternity boys at the University of Mississippi would likely have a different reaction than some SJWs from Wesleyan.

And who knows what any of them do behind closed doors.

by Anonymousreply 61October 16, 2022 1:56 PM

This is all BULLSHIT! These guys may have girlfriends and later wives, but they are still both homosexuals!

R58 You are overthinking this. Homosexual is defined as: "a person who is sexually attracted to people of their own sex." PERIOD.

Engaging in same sex activities is a pretty clear manifestation of someone's homosexuality but it is not needed for someone to be a homosexual. Translation, if all you've ever done is jacked to gay porn, you are a homosexual.

It is the "attraction" that makes you a homosexual. A person who is bisexual is ALSO by definition a homosexual. There, necessarily, is overlap.

Being homosexual or bisexual or even straight, is not a choice, but your behavior is. People are designed to CRAVE sex, but we're not animals. How, when and where and with whom (specifically) we have sex IS within our control. This was the flaw of Don't Ask Don't Tell." We cannot control the gender we are oriented to have sex with.

DADT assumed that ALL homosexual men are also bisexual men and can thus choose to have sex only with women instead of men. That is false. SOME Bisexual men can (and do) choose to only have sex with women, but that is a choice their employer has no right to require them to make. Someone who is only homosexual (and NOT Bisexual) or a Bisexual who also wants sex with their same sex is shit out of luck. They are not only being told not to have same same sex relations, but they are also being told that they cannot even discuss their same sex attraction.

Many women are married to bisexual men. Some don't know it. Some don't care. Being bisexual doesn't prevent a person from committing to one sex (ie one person ---- gay or straight) for life. That doesn't stop them from being a homosexual. Two things can (and in this instance are) true at the same time.

Far too much weight is given to whether or not someone is a homosexual. It is just a part of who a person is, just like being left handed or being able to whistle. It is just part of who you are. It is in your DNA. We are still all individuals, so our behavior will also be individualized. Having a same sex attraction does not mean you will act on it (although, I believe, most people will at some point act on it).

If you do act on in though, it should be no one's business but yours. People need to stop looking at homosexuality as a lifestyle. While it is often the case, it is not always the case. Homosexuality at its core is just a biological trait that many people carry. It is not necessarily determinative of anything.

by Anonymousreply 64October 24, 2022 9:54 AM

apparently no one recalls when somewhere between the youngest millennials and the oldest z that rather than looking for sex, they were all looking for cuddle parties. . . it's one reason there's so many furries among them, too.

r64 they're likely looking at rad fem books, they're filled with that kind of shit... though they contradict themselves often. I try to expose people to them because so many are unaware that while rad fems split from both the lgbt and feminist movements, their names largely stripped from the annals, this undercurrent remains... and it's much of what we see happening in the extremes of "queer" politics. somewhat ironically, given both groups are radically opposed to one another... but quite close in their identity games.
