Think he probably feels more threatened by gay blokes than gay women, only thing I could think of. I think that may be quite common of that generation.

I could imagine that if i approached him and said dad, I have to tell you something about my sexuality...I shag dead people, his response would be, phew I thought you were going to tell me you were gay.

By "more threatened" ...
... I take it you mean "less aroused"?

Is it the whole bum-sex thing?
It's not as if all gays like it whereas plenty of, mostly female, heterosexuals can't get enough. Could your Dad be terrified of some deep-seated desires of his own? Lord knows we all fall somewhere on the spectrum until time and conditioning hardens (oooer) our preferences.

When I was in my late teens and early twenties I swear to God I would have bonked a bloke out of sheer horniness and curiosity if it hadn't been considered completely unacceptable within my lager-swilling, social milieu.

Now I'm older and married and the thought of it no longer appeals because I've found so much pleasure in vaginas and the female form. But had I gone out on a gay spree, perhaps I might have liked it to the point where I'd now be living in Brighton, wearing tight lycra and roller-blading down by the beach hand-in-hand with some gorgeous youth. You just never know!

Well you may
Have a point there Bara, none of us are 100% straight are we? But I would probably describe the old man as a dormant homophobe, in other words until it's on his door step he won't go on about it. I'm a great believer in "Madame doth protest too much" though and my missus, who used to play football, knew quite a few gay girls. One girl in the football team used to go on and on about how she thought it was disgusting only for Mrs. Arrow to bump into her years later hand in hand with her girlfriend. I have to say my closest experience to that was nearly being sucked off by a transexual, there is a full story about somewhere in the QOTW archives, I chickened out when the penny dropped at the last minute to the disgust of my more open minded friends who thought it would have been the best BJ I had ever received. Yeah right didn't you realise it was a bloke arrow? Massive drugs were involved with a liberal sprinkling of naivety. I like you appreciate the female form much more; it does funny things to me, whereas man bits don't. I wonder what your life would have been like if you followed the other path, one thing I can tell you for sure is, you'd definately have more money ;)

"None of us are 100% straight"?
According to whom?

Although not being the ultimate knowledge of the universe you can take that with a pinch of salt. Would you say you were 100% Vagabond?
(bROKEN aRROW PUA HVI Master, Wed 18 Aug 2010, 16:29, closed)

Yeah, I think I would.
I certainly don't buy that bloody "Every straight man likes a bit of gay" line.

Girls, however - well - I've seen some videos, and it's pretty obvious they're not averse to a bit of girl.

I was going
to use the girl comparrsion but obvioulsy they are a lot more comftable than men with their sexuality.

Wouldn't you have to have had the odd gay thought in your youth, to know you weren't gay?Like Bara had, If not close your eyes and......kidding. I think I have just spoken to gay guys that say they have slept with a lot of straight guys and I base my fuzzy theory on that.

I would say I was a 99% due to the event i described above. But you did say that you "think" you would, does that make it a 99.999999% ?

Yes I know this argument.
Percentages in relation to sexual urge doesn't really compute for me.

There's something about the
musk of aroused female genitalia that acts on me in an almost subliminal way and gets me properly hard. I've seen gay porn and I don't get much more than a halfhearted twitch in the boxer shorts.

That said, if I had not made my marital vows, and a presentable bloke offered to blow me without my having to reciprocate, I'd probably just go for it.

The whole notion of 'gay' and 'straight' is a very new one and it's typical of our sexually neurotic culture to make such a big deal out of what is really a picture with many grey areas. If I make a new friend who happens to be gay, one of the first things you feel inclined to tell people about is their sexuality. I don't really know what point I'm trying to make but your bed-time jollies should come way down the list in terms of defining you as a human-being.

And re the 100% thing, I would suggest that given the right cultural setting, eg Ancient Greece, very few of us would innately stick to one form of sexual expression.

Steh
A brief glimpse at your profile reveals an unnatural level of obsession with, and aversion to, gays. There are three possibilities:

1.) You've been sexually abused by a male, in which case you have my utmost sympathy (and indeed empathy, for I have likewise suffered).

2.) You blindly follow a particular creed or religion that regards homosexuality as sinful.

3.) You are a self-hating homo. That self-loathing didn't develop out of thin air, so again you have my sympathies for having been reared in such an oppressive, narrow-minded environment. Unfortunately the SHH can do a lot of damage to his own kind. Just witness the seemingly endless list of recently outed Republicans in the US who have spent their whole lives voting against gay liberties whilst leading a sleazy double-life.

Fucking another male is not unnatural if you mean that animals don't do it. Watch a video of Bonobo Chimps just for starters. There's nothing natural about nylon socks or Baked Alaska either, to paraphrase Stephen Fry.

Perhaps have a bit of a think before spewing more anti-gay venom on this board.

I am surpised you haven't been internet lynched with views like that. I could kind of understand where Vagabond was coming from and if that's his opinion that's fine but you sir are talking out of your arse. I am really surprised that Bara is the only person that has commented on this :\ Did you hear about that German girl that gave aids to one of her partners, you would be a fool to think that the aids problem is purely a gay thing. Don't die of ignorance mate..

Edit- Wow you do talk about being gay a lot don't you, I think Bara's assumption is balls on accurate, you protest way too much.
